I’m sorry to see that Rand can be so easily manipulated.

You can accuse a libertarian of patriotism but you’ll rarely have enough evidence to convict one.

I liked Muhammad Ali; I like Rand Paul; and I think it's ridiculous that men still have to register for a draft that doesn't exist.

Still, there's just something odd about this bill, the timing of it, and the name.

Just a sign that we are driven more by personalities than by principles.

How about the “Rktman Volunteered, How Come He Didn’t Act”? Muzzie refusing to engage in combat? Not these days.

In honor of Muhammad Ali, this morning, I had some cereal.

They’ve played this song too much. I’m bored by it.

Ali was NOI. They aren’t pacifists.

His conscientious objection was that he was for the enemy.

The only thing Ali ever cared about was his own skin. The mighty “fighter” was a gutless COWARD!

The point is moot, there will never be another draft, it would simply be impossible even if we were invaded by another nation. Can you really picture these “special snowflake” social justice warrior millenials who are so hurt by an inconsiderate word that they need to go to their safe space actually showing up in a draft?!? Not only would they be burning their draft cards in the street, their enabling helicopter parents would be marching right beside them.

Bet Ali didn’t have a problem with all of the wars we fought on behalf of the Saudis.

I don’t disagree with dropping the draft. But I do love the look of fear on the snowflakes face when they have to register. So,perhaps we should keep the process going just for our amusement.

“I think it’s ridiculous that men still have to register for a draft that doesn’t exist.”

Selective Service (’draft’) exists: https://www.sss.gov/

Not active, but it does exist.
