I just talked to someone in Cornyn's office. He said that instead of Paul's bill, he voted for another one (can't remember the name of it), that completely balanced FEMA funds with cuts in other government spending. So, I asked him about stopping ALL foreign aid and getting us out of all these wars. We talked about Libya and he said our troops are fighting under NATO right now. As if that is some kind of excuse. That led to a discussion of whether treaties can trump the Constitution. They don't!
Overall, a very frustrating conversation.
I so understand why our forefathers used tar and feathers.
