Rand Paul Delivers On NSA Filibuster Promise

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Are you kidding here? Or are you really that small minded?

Have you seen any of his other eloquent, and deeply intellectual postings?

(read, it's the latter of the two choices above)

Racism always amazes me. Sure.. I'm a blue eyed white devil, but I read lots of books.

In these science books I enjoy I find no reference to multiple races only Homosapiens. This leads me to believe that, genetically, we're all practically identical and this idea of race has been fabricated.

Edit: actually.. white people are just inbred black people but we won't talk about that. Fun fact: more genetic diversity in native Africans than any other group in the world.

Lmao. I was gonna say something but figured I'd be nice.

As for his policies- i don't agree with all of them. Nor do i agree 100% with anyone else's policies.

I can say i believe in his sincerity. I believe he loves our country and loves freedom.

If he's anything like his father i doubt he'd be shoving any policies down our throats either. I loved that his father was personally against abortion but believed it wasn't up to his RIGHT to make laws against it.

I know Rand has stumbled on this issue with the press but i think he's having trouble with all the party pressure (unlike Ron)

...I'm kinda there, too. I/m still not quite sure what to think of the dude--he always seemed very honest, very forthright in his perspective, and never seemed to care about pissing off his supposed base.

Though he's said some odd, off-color things in the early days of primary campaigning, so it's hard to say.

Regardless of any of that, he definitely takes several of his convictions seriously, and I fully support him in the ones that he has chosen to filibuster (drones and the patriot act).

Exactly. I don't think ANY of the candidates have earned a presidential vote yet. The first time I was allowed to vote I wrote in "Mickey mouse". I'm seriously considering doing this again.

That's why i said elements of black culture. But, you are correct i in your clarification.

See my other post above

Ah, my bad and agreed.

Because Rand proves a really good point.

Just because you're a member of a political party doesn't nab you have to agree with all the nonsense.

There are many different kinds of conservatives just like there are many different kinds of liberals.

I, for one, am a libertarian leaning conservative with liberal beliefs towards regulation.

I'm a registered libertarian who has mostly voted for democrats due to social issues.

At this point Rand is the ONLY CANDIDATE who hates war. That's kind of a big one for me.

Well said.

Personally I'm a registered Republican small government conservative who usually votes Libertarian, also with beliefs leaning liberal on social, environmental and regulatory issues.
