Report: Rand Paul calls for scrutiny of Muslims

Did Rand Paul just make a big political mistake or is he right? Your thoughts RP Nation: Political Blunder or Ground Gaining comment?

I think he made a big mistake personally!

Presidential candidate Rand Paul told one of its reporters backstage at a speech in Houston last night that the U.S. should provide extra scrutiny of people coming into the country from predominantly Muslim countries after the Chattanooga, Tenn., terrorist attack on Friday.

The way I read it Sir was specific scrutiny of people from jihadist countries. That makes perfect sense to me, if your country is a hotbed of terrorism we take an extra hard look at you and why you want to be here. I want to know why Rand Paul has to suggest it, instead of already being policy.... O wait that's right up is down now and common nonsense is "common sense".

We have to get out of the spin cycle of combining screams for political correctness (regardless to race/religion or sexual affiliation) followed by memorial services of fallen public servants......how many dang times will we turn the other cheek? These men were sons, brothers, uncles and fathers! enough is enough and the time for talk is over. It is about Deeds, not Words!

CSM Michael J. Uhlig You are correct. I just don't think any of the politicians running for POTUS get that, nor do our current serving congressman. When and how quickly will plans be put into place to take care of our soldiers at these locations? One life lost is cause to make changes immediately (well thought out changes and not "knee jerk" reactions) either. You get it CSM!

Not a Paul fan, but I think he's okay based on what he actually said. NOW, if he had actually called for us to increase scrutiny on Muslims in general, yeah, that'd be "Game Over, Man."
