I think Jack missed the point.

I'm a Libertarian, Rothbard-style, and I have been critical of Rand. But me and people I know, are being critical of him for his own good. We understand that he's not fully Libertarian. He's Rand Paul.

Jack thinks we're critical because we want to argue. No. We're critical because we think he could have delivered his message better. The Maddow interview shows this.

I'd rather have an ally I disagree with, like Rand, than an enemy who's against me, like Cheney.

That's exactly what is happening. The liberals don't want him because he isn't a liberal. The conservatives don't want him because he isn't neo. These two facts, by themselves, should be enough evidence to convince reasonable person that you just can't take what the media says about him at face value.

@sffoodie1987 If you get universal healthcare then you'll need a nice home to be healthy so you don't run the state outta money, and you also need food to stay healthy, so the state has to provide your food, and water is a necesity for good health too. So in the end what's your incentive to work? You'd have to put a gun to someone's head and force them to work. This socialism your preaching, even light european socialism, is slavery.

Your a statist and you do not understand that a free market provides better than any statist ploy. Freedom is good, totalitarianism bad.

Baby steps...People quickly forget how new this movement is.

Get him in office then hold his feet to the fire by supporting a libertarian competitor to replace hm.

@controversyking Here is what is wrong with that. We tried that and people like you used that privilege to systematically enforce what is called "badges of slavery." "Badges of slavery" means providing any distinction between those of former slave status and others and is A VIOLATION OF THE 13TH AND 14TH AMENDMENTS TO THE U.S.CONSTITUTION. The fact that your "any reason" analysis does not require badges of slavery is irrelevant, because . . . [see my next post]

[blackblog]

@controversyking . . . when people like you had the ability to discriminate for any reason, including race, they chose to use it for enforcing badges of slavery. When you hide behind your personal freedoms to violate the Constitutional rights of another person, society has two choices. They can continue respecting the rights of a person abusing an innocent party, or society can protect the innocent party in that situation. In short: "You abused your toys, you lost your toys Play nice next time"

Brothers! If you consider the level of intelligence in Dr.Paul am sure he want's Ron to go all the way and you know i don't mean senator.Am sure when he takes positions that are against the movement is for a good cause like (bringing in the SHEEPLE<SUCKERS<AND BUTTER FINGERS).we will soon have our CHECKMATE.Be patient and supportt him all the way.

Rand Paul presented himself to us as a libertarian--a committed, principled defender of non-interventionism and liberty. He asked us for support and for money, and then turned on us without hesitation when he saw a career opportunity. Rather than running on principle and hoping for support, he played the cheap politician card and recrafted his image to fit what he believes voters want. It's dishonest on so many levels.
