Ron Paul raised close to a quarter-million dollars just two-and-a-half days into his campaign to "End the TSA," launched shortly after his son made headlines for refusing a security patdown.

As of Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m. ET, the Texas congressman and Republican presidential hopeful had raised more than $214,000 since announcing the "End the TSA Money Bomb" on Monday, according to his campaign Web site.

Paul has been a long-time critic of the Transportation Security Administration, claiming it violates civil liberties and "gropes and grabs our children, our seniors, and our loved ones an neighbors with disabilities ... while doing nothing to keep us safe."

I absolutely agree. If the government wants to keep us safe on airplanes they should take a look at how Israel does it.

Really?

My argument is that they violate our rights and poison us with various radiation technologies AND THEY HAVE NEVER ONCE ACTUALLY STOPPED ANYONE.

That is my argument.

Fantastic. If we don't get rid of the TSA in short order it is a bad sign for all of us who want Liberty restored.

Ron Paul was right tonight in the debates. Americans are past thinking there is a Jihadist (spellling) waiting to get them hiding under their beds at night. I think most of us would prefer FREEDOM to our current POLICE STATE.

The most amazing thing about this particular money bomb, was that it began by the grass roots on a whim.
