During remarks at todays (Friday) 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference, former NSA chief Gen. Michael Hayden had the audacity to claim he is a libertarian, prompting boos and jeers from the audience.
Hayden was at the conference for a debate with Fox News senior judicial analyst and staunch libertarian Judge Andrew Napolitano, moderated by FBNs Lou Dobbs. After Napolitano implored the audience to be outraged by the National Security Agencys widespread surveillance programs, first unearthed in 2012 by whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, Hayden stood up and said, If NSA were even capable of doing what the judge has just outlined for you, we wouldnt be having a debate here today. There would be nothing to argue about.
He continued: Lets talk about reality. Lets talk about facts. The judge is an unrelenting libertarian. That line drew large applause from an audience likely composed of many of the judges (and Sen. Rand Pauls) devoted fans. That fact would explain what happened next.
So am I, Hayden claimed as the crowd booed. Several people shouted No, youre not!
Im an unrelenting libertarian, Hayden insisted, whos also responsible for four decades of his life for another important part of [the Constitution], the part that says provide for the common defense.
Let this scribe settle the debate and definitively state for Hayden: No, you are not.

This remark should have been greeted with raucous laughter from the crowd and with Judge Napolitano rolling on the floor and pounding it with his fists, howling in laughter at this pompous dirtbag uttering such a delusional statement.
