You and I have the freedom and liberty to do whatever we want, as long as we're willing to answer for the consequences of our actions.

I didn't find anything bad with what Rand said.

The Marxist fear constitutionalist like Rand. He'd support repealing the 16th amendment amoung other things which is mostly responsible for the problems we have today.

Hey and while were at it lets just get rid of the 13th, 14th and 15th and then you don't have to worry about them uppity nigers agitating for their rights. Would you now?

Obviously the legislature did, since they worked so fast on damage control.

I think that this is a not partisan issue. I think even most conservative Republicans would agree that Mr. Rand's opinion is that of an extremist and that anyone in this day who holds such a belief is unfit for public office. I bet the Kentucky Republican party is just fucking livid with Mr. Paul. He's pretty much handed the election to a Democrat with that idiotic opinion. Just as well they learn now as later that he is unfit for public office.

Speaking the truth and doing the right thing do not often equate to political expediency. Just look to your own posts on this matter for examples.

Please identify specifically what truth Rand Paul uttered in his now infamous opinion on the CRA of 64? Please do! The man is either an idiot or immoral as hell and unfit for public service.

If their are legal consequences for out actions, you know very well that there must be a distinct lack of freedom and liberty.

For example, if I get ticketed for talking on my cellphone while driving, something will have been sorely missing there...

What's missing is common sense. People shouldn't talk on a cellphone or text while driving. I've had plenty of close calls with people who were driving carelessly while flapping their gums on a phone, and I'm sure others have also. Why do their rights to court danger transcend mine to stay safe? How do you protect the careful drivers from the idiots?
 
T&A said:
Yep. Or did you just mean only certain freedoms constitute liberty? For the record, I've never been ticketed for my cellphone, I don't smoke (smoking bans), or engage in a whole host of activities that are banned, such as elicit drugs, but I still recognize the laws that prohibit and regulate as illiberal and un-American.

I look at some laws and regulations as necessary to protect the law-abiding from the others.

Where is this Trekkian universe where anything goes and nobody is subject to any restrictions on their actions? Not anywhere on earth that I'm aware of.

"any form of discrimination"? Are we to take that literally such as when real estate brokers market a house claiming it appeals to the 'discriminating buyer' someone has broken the law?

Kind of ironic this law in Kentucky. Ask Louisville and Kentucky fans how they feel about each other. Try walking around Lexington with a UL shirt on and see what type of discrimination exists.

C'mon, that's sales talk. But if a real estate broker claims there's an all-white community (for example) that appeals to the discriminating buyer, he stepping on dangerous ground.

Try walking around Pittsburgh wearing a Cleveland Browns T-shirt. You may get heckled but if somebody lays a hand on you, it's illegal.

Few americans, outside the extreme fringe, would agree with you and Ayn Rand Paul that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against blacks, women, or disabled people. Whether or not you want to call it philosophical musing, mental masturbation, or whatever.

As for being brave in speaking the truth, I recall that Rand Paul did a 180 degree flip flop the day after rachel maddow, and then chickened out and cancelled his Meet the Press interview. Only three people in the history of MTP have cancelled at the last minute, one of whom was Louis Farakan.

Bravery and ideological principle indeed.

It didn't take long for Rand Paul to implode. First he made his idiotic comments supporting BP then with all the scrutiny on the Tea Bag party being perceived as being stuffed with mouth breathing racist who didn't have a peep to say about federal spending and outrageous deficits during the Bush years are now all of a sudden concerned about those issues when a black man becomes President, he commits political suicide with the stupidest comment I've heard a politician utter since Trent Lott's babbling boobery at Strom Thurmond's 100th B-day Party. Pooof! A 25 point lead in the polls against his Democratic opponent evaporates! Now that the DNC smells blood I can see all the money that's going to be dumped in Kentucky in October. Rand is toast.

But the larger question is what damage has he done to the Tea Party Movement? The public perception is that the Tea Party is stuffed full of elderly, white, largely uneducated, mouth breathing racist. Has Paul's asinine comment validated this image of the Tea Party? I think it has.

Last week, when I was in the grocery store, a lady was on her cell phone and bumped her cart into mine. I told her she shouldn't be using her phone while driving. :)

That's the public perception of the Tea Party or what you would like it to be? Wasn't it the New York Times of all publications that wrote the article that stated the Tea Party folks were more educated than the average American?
