Despite some potential misgivings about Rand Paul as a candidate, I will be voting for him for the simple reason that every law enforcement agency in the state has sided with Conway. If cops unanimously support a particular candidate, surely said candidate is an immoral statist ready to use cops violently in order to support […]

Pointing the finger backwards has been a staple in the Obama propaganda factory since day 1. With every problem he faces, his first instinct is to blame Bush. Not once has he taken responsibility for spending a trillion dollars for absolutely no gain (except those who are in his political debt like teachers unions who […]

And no I’m not talking about ObamaCare this time, but Rand Paul.  I was of the mind that he represents a very good chance at getting a consistently pro-liberty senator in the federal government.  But with each piece of news I hear since his slaughter of republitard establishment favorite Grayson, I lean more towards the […]

Bill Estep via The Lexington Herald-Leader on recent meetings between Rand Paul and the establishment party hacks Paul ran against in the Kentucky Senatorial primaries: But Paul ran outside the party establishment, against a man endorsed by leaders of that establishment and without the support of many in the party structure. “It happened, and we’ve […]

Libertarian Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch in an interview with The Washington Post: The reason why we would even consider running somebody in this race is because we’re not going to let Rand determine what a Libertarian stands for . . . I’m here to say Rand does not have the Libertarian ideology. Though Paul […]

Well, yes I could have if I actually tried.  The style is truncated and choppy (too many one sentence paragraphs which are a bit annoying), but his message is clearly stated.  Robert A. Leavy via Politico: So Paul stands foursquare for civil rights but acknowledges the Civil Rights Act’s possible disconnect from the Constitution. His […]

Gabriel Winant of Salon: It’s time to stop taking libertarianism seriously. So let me see if I can follow your argument (considering I’m apparently so fucking stupid as to actually subscribe to libertarian thought).  Libertarianism is so stupid, juvenile, selfish and bratty that we should all stop taking it seriously, yet Salon has been actively […]

David Swerdlick via The Root: He took a decidedly anti-choice position on abortion and fudged on the (after the fact) banking bailout by focusing on the (before the fact) housing bubble. He didn’t distinguish himself from the Congress from which he’s ”taking government back.” By contrast, it would’ve only taken the senior Paul two minutes […]
