During a recent Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee meeting Rand Paul (R-KY.) chastised the head of the TSA. Echoing the sentiments of many Americans he told John Pistole the actions of his organization made him feel less safe. He said the fact that TSA does invasive pat downs on 6-year-old girls from Kentucky make him believe that they are "clueless". (h/t Fox Nation)

This kind of straight talk has become something of a hallmark for Rand Paul since his election last year. He has taken on several other Obama administration officials to the delight of many conservative bloggers. These Rand rants have even become something of a collective stress relief therapy on the right.

However, as Rand Paul and most other conservatives understand, it will take more than a sharp tongue and tough questions in a committee hearing to bring about the change so strongly desired. That will take months and years of hard work from millions of people across the country. But, if the popularity of these clips is any indication, people are fed up and ready to put in the effort it will take to bring about a smaller and less intrusive federal government.
