Yes? Then you are a complete moron. No? Then it is irrelevant. Do you acknowledge that people can be for freedom of speech and private property rights without agreeing with every awful thing that people do with those rights? While Rand Paul's views on the Civil Rights act are totally fringe - no question - this issue is (and will) be used against him to say that he is racist, which is completely disingenuous and there are much better (legitimate) reasons to be against a Rand Paul presidency. Actually Rand Paul has alienated most libertarians and he has especially alienated people who supported his father. Rand Paul is a Tea-Party Republican. Ron Paul was a paleo-libertarian. |

And no, fundamental world views are not ever irrelevant. Well I guess you didn't duck my assertion. Property rights above all else! You're gross. |

there is very, very little that gets done in this country without federal money. corporations are the largest beneficiary by a considerable degree.
so you want to know why they don't support libertarianism, paleo or otherwise? refer to the above, if you need more: essentially the introductory premise of your horrible thoughtful raptor meme is incredibly wrong, even real libertarians -- not the 23 year old dope smoking upper middle class dude that read atlas shrugged once in college -- will tell you that mega-corporations wouldn't even exist without governmental assistance, and that their economic philosophy is actually bad for mega-corps. i am a socialist and a skeptic, so i don't believe that is true i think they would form naturally especially in an unregulated economy (the goal is to win right?) but shifting to that stage with our economy as it currently is would actually do a great deal to dismantle these mega-corps. Airline industries would go bankrupt, banks would collapse. It would be an economic catastrophe, really. Last edited by Trotskilicious : 02-26-2014 at 06:59 PM. |

I don't think "property rights above all else" is what I believe and it is certainly not what Paul believes. I am not sure what you think Paul's "position" (really we are talking about some off the cusp comments which may or may not be indicative of a "fundamental world view") on the 1964 Civil Rights Act actually indicates. You seem to think that whatever it indicates is so obviously bad (or even dangerous?) that it doesn;t actually need to be articulated. I would love to hear you be a bit more explicit about what you are getting at.

He would have to move away from that kind of craziness to make a serious run, but yes, he does believe that.

Rand Paul hasn't actually articulated a racist view but you somehow know that he is 'really fucking racist'? I am curious where you got this secret knowledge? There are plenty of reasons to dislike and disagree with Rand Paul. There are plenty of reasons to disagree with his offhand comments on the civil rights act. It is disingenuous and arrogant to claim that you know that his views 'really are' and then base your opinions of someone based on those unfounded and unsubstantiated 'hunches'. |

I am not saying this means that the only alternative is the most egregious of anti-discrimination laws, but I also do not buy the idea that a free market will eliminate racism because of capitalism. In fact in a racist society, racism is exactly what the consumer wants and if that society is also racist, the market will supply racism. |

FREEDOM (for straight white well off males)
i love how his post is like "i don't think this, but i ALSO don't think this!" well good for you man why don't you tell us what you do think and we can go from there whenever someone is hesitant to tell you what they actually think it means that what they actually think is fucking dumb. and i encounter this way way way way more than i would have ever expected. |
