the war on rand paul… Let’s GO!
Rand Paul is actually a citizen of Somalia. I can’t prove it, but you can’t prove it’s not true, therefore it probably is.
Ba De Boom!
Well, their governing attitudes are about the same. And I’m not really kidding all that much — here’s the lewrockwell website at the time of the Somali Pirate Hostage Crisis. Lew Rockwell is the man who wrote, anonymously, the horribly racist pieces in the Ron Paul newsletters of the early 1990s, disavowed by Ron Paul in the 2000s, defended in blog comments by Ron Paul fans saying “But those won’t written by Ron Paul. They were written by Lew Rockwell!”.
So, as we move into the New Era of the Rand Paul Revolution, I ask the question: Are we having fun yet? I would like to say that the current hub ub over the … is that right? Civil Rights Act of 1964? … is that “Other Shoe Dropping”, but the thing is, that metaphor would have to suggest a limit of two shoes available to drop — we’re in a weird world with Rand Paul where we may just well have some weirdo on the balcony with a bizarre compunction to drop an unlimited number of shoes overboard.
Or… if you wanted to, you could tee the ball up and take a swing a day. I don’t know if “Do you support the Violent Overthrow of the Government?” is a fair question, even if he spoke next to people expressing such an opinion, but there are plenty of avenues to explore short of such a thing.
Here’s the thing I’m looking forward to: Election Day. The Democratic candidate Jack Conway wins, 55 to 40 percent (I will assume there’s a third party in there). Alex Jones, seen here (the Mitch Mcconnell candidate, whatshisname, who Rand Paul defeated split up parts of this video for use in an ad — which was online on Tuesday but taken off by the “user” on Wednesday — split with the shots of ) — after a relentless march from now until then relaying the Vast Conspiracy of the New World Order Media, the Neocons, and the Obama-bots to slur Rand Paul in some kind of unfair Persecution–
— and I will note that the commentary on Rand Paul today in blogosphere is pretty damned civil, focusing on how Rand Paul’s position demonstrates the limitations of his ideology in dealing with the Real World moreso than a latent racism — ahem and ahem — but there we are: in lalaland.
blames the election loss on Vote Theft. Such as the article before the Kentucky Primary Contest where they alerted everyone to possible vote rigging …
In the meantime — when’s the “They’re Planning on Assassinating Rand Paul” thing going to come up?…
Reportedly, Rand Paul’s Republican allies — Jim DeMint — have pulled him aside for a little talk. He is getting the hang of Republican Politics already: he regrets appearing on Rachel Maddow, and did a stint with Laura Ingraham for a friendly interview.
