Sen. Rand Paul said he grew up in the ’80s and the only parades he remembers were Soviet and North Korean parades. That is what honoring our military yesterday meant to the libertarian senator. He thinks it was to glorify weapons. Actually, it was to glorify all those who are willing to die for their country for 250 years. He is very misguided.
President Trump was 79 yesterday so he grew up in the fifties. He remembers patriotic Americans after they freed the world in World War II. He remembers the parades and ticker tape parades of the era when people cared about our military. That is what we should bring back.
There is nothing wrong with patriotism and love of country. Everything is right about it. Sen. Paul also brought up expense, but honoring our soldiers on the 250th anniversary is worth every penny. He ignores the fact that it was a very special day, and it had a purpose worth remembering as communists march and riot in our streets.
What do you think? Is Sen. Paul right?
Rand Paul: “I’ve never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different…we never glorified weapons so… pic.twitter.com/KwhuMlzvuG

There is something going on with Sen Paul, his behaviors of late, seems he has contracted a case of TDS.
We need a renewed infusion of patriotism in this country.
More than 3 million, have bled and died, suffered catastrophic injuries for the freedoms too many take for granted.
Mothers, widows have cried rivers of tears; millions of children had to grow up never really knowing their fathers.
That parade did a wonderful job honoring those who are the very best among us, our military.
Washington Robber Barons have been stealing us blind, spending OUR money used as WEAPONS against us.
They have found dozens of ways to have us LITERALLY, fund our OWN demise.
We need MORE inspiring of patriotism, Sen Paul needs to check himself.
I guess his parents never took him to a patriotic parade. He does have TDS though.
Honoring the Military, it’s Service Members? Seriously? He’s just like his father, can say 99 things that totally has me going Yeah!!! and then squirts out one thing that is so asinine that it cancels out the 99.
Rand Paul is all talk. Talk, talk, talk. He never does anything. He’s the pure definition of the word “jerk”.
He can’t even figure out that the purpose is to make our military more visible to the world since we have conflicts in Ukraine, India, and Iran.
I admire Senator Paul on a lot of his beliefs but I remember soldiers coming home and being spit at for doing a job they were sent to do. 250 birthday parade was nice
He sat around with the rest for 4 years of Article IV, Section 4 violations while everyone pooped on Mr. Potato Head. Exempt from vaxxx, fuk em all.
We need to install loyalty and respect into our people and remind them who is responsible for our freedom. Without the military, today we would be speaking either German or Japanese. The forces of evil in this country are very strong and have a good grip on a large percentage of the population. Laws almost mean nothing today. Someday, it will come down to our military having to save us.
What an amazing jakass….
Rand Paul seems to enjoy being contrary, even when it makes no sense and serves no purpose.
