President Rand Paul Would Bomb Iran, Protect Your D**k Pics From The NSA


And by "liberty," Paul means that he wants to liberate billionaire-Americans from having to pay taxes. If elected, he'll achieve this goal by getting rid of public schools and the US Department of Education, squeezing "socialist" Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps into ‘block grants,' and generally taking America back to the 19th Century.

Because there was so much liberty in America until unions, weekends, worker safety regulations, child labor laws, a minimum wage, civil rights laws, fair housing acts, and other godless liberal innovations stifled the ‘freedom' of unbridled capitalists to stomp their boots all over humanity's face. See how that works?


snip........

Paul has decided to appeal to the ‘Facebook generation' by promising to shut down an unpopular bulk metadata-gathering program at the National Security Agency. Look! Shiny!

Warrantless searches of Americans' phones and computer records are un-American and a threat to our civil liberties. I say that your phone records are yours. I say the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business. The president created this vast dragnet by executive order. And as president on day one, I will immediately end this unconstitutional surveillance. I believe we can have liberty and security and I will not compromise your liberty for a false sense of security, not now, not ever.

Get that? "The" president "created" this "dragnet." It was Paul's single biggest applause line of the day, and it carries the unstated, but completely false implication that Barack Obama personally constructed the NSA program in question because he hates liberty. This false framing allows Paul to avoid speaking to the messy, uncomfortable reality that bulk metadata surveillance is actually a Bush/Cheney-era creation which has been authorized and renewed by Congress several times.

1. Inwish he stuck with giving free eye exams and surgeries

He could continue doing that rather then ruin the country.

2. The GOP is the party of war and bombing to solve problems

[redstateblues]

3. How about our soon to be minority leader, Schumer?

He seems to be beating the war drums as well

[CanonRay]

4. And apparently Chuck Schumer as well!

Really, what's the alternative to ending negotiations without an agreement. Ultimately, war.

[Fred Sanders]

5. They get away with these lies and religious extremism because the mass media ownership agrees with them.

6. When these asshole Republicans talk about "taking America back" or going "back" to

what they claim we once were, how come nobody ever asks them what year they are taking about?
