just curious.

Who has the epic story of the Ronulan invasion of CU?

3. If you're not quite awake yet, there are places...
where Randian libertarianism and liberalism seem to intersect.
They don't, really, but sometimes it's fun to think they do.

5. Yeah, they may intersect a bit on legal weed and anti-military interventions. Of course, on everything else liberals hold dear like protecting civil rights, progressive taxation, regulating Wall Street, they are diametrically different. At least as I see it.
libertarians are against civil rights? I don't think that is correct.

14. Not for black people.
Rand Paul is on the record as being in favor of removing the civil rights act and the voting rights act. If anything, I think those acts should be strengthened and more fully enforced.
Sure, there are different kinds of libertarians. And yes, as far as their own civil rights are concerned they are probably all for it. But please read up a bit on where most of them today stand on many issues that are core principles of liberals and core principals of the democratic party.

20. In addition to that, I'm pretty sure he opposes contraceptive rights. IDK where he stands on gay rights, though. But like his father, Rand's freedom fighting street cred looks a bit shaky.
Soo...... Rand Paul hates Balcks, Gays, Women, Minorities (but Blacks more), contraceptives, foreign wars, drug laws, progressive taxation, Wall Street regulations, Car immissions, Late Term Abortions, Church and State,... what else again?

15. I tried talking with one once in real life and he kept going on about the fed. Whenever I tried changing the subject he kept going on and on about the fed. He'd been laid off from some investment bank. Drove a Porsche, smoked lots of weed, married a rich neurotic. Thought he was way smarter than he was. Shockingly ignorant of the most basic civics and history knowledge. I thought he was a smug insufferable ignoramus who acted like he'd just joined a cult.
A RAND PAUL BOUNCY!!!!

Nobody supports McCain.

24. To weaken support for Democrats and progressives in general, since his agenda is toxic for ordinary people and is the antithesis to what we want. They ultimately want to do away with government, while the Left sees it as a useful thing in most cases. The Internet is pretty much their only outlet. In real life, the Paul clan isn't taken very seriously (especially with Rand's pet weasel on his head), and Rand's father struggled to stay polling in the double digits even within his own party in 2012.

29. They're not all trolling. Perhaps.
A few things Paul has said sound like what we want, so much so that maybe they forget that he's a lying, weaselly airhead. Yeah, I can believe that some well-intentioned people are willing to promote him a little.
I'm sure there are trolls exploiting that perceived vulnerability of DU's.
The Second Paultard War of 2015-16 may soon be upon us...

Interesting. Orsino believes that Paul is a democrat.

No what he said is he thinks were were unconstitutional as they were enacted.
Like Goldwater and other Conservatives...he believes they didn't need these special pieces of legislation to ensure blacks were treated equally.

The remote possibility that some one there might be able to think outside of the Lib/Prog box? Amusement at disturbing the DU echo chamber a little?

Facts are racist, Racist, RACIST!!!

As do, I am sure, more than a few X'ers and millennials. Dude they are libertarians. Free weed!!
I do know this, the Paulistas are a breed apart. Ask Sparky about his experiences with the El Ron Paul groupies. We use to post on a very liberal biased board also inhabited by disciples of El Ron. Nasty bunch. And NH is lousy with them in part because of "The Free State Movement". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_State_Project) :pokingpoop:

Just yesterday, they were complaining about how oppressive the IRS is and now they have forgotten all about it and blissfully dance to the tyrant's tune yet again.
I cannot actually think of the last time a government solution actually worked and yet these DUmmies still think the government can do. I remember them kvetching about white phosphorous and torture and the bombings of civilian populations in and 100 Billion dead in Iraq, all stuff that could not be done without a government, and yet they think the same government is going to be able to cure their cancers and acne and such.
The only medical procedure the government is proven at is abortion.

Trolling is what they do. People are not allowed to disagree with them.and they are willing to lie and steal to get power...just like liberals.
Ultimately, Paultards and liberals have more in common than you would expect.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki turned out pretty well.
Beyond that, I got nothin'.

How soon some people forget:
During the 2010 election, Rand Paul's primary opponent was Trey Grayson, endorsed by Mitch and also a former democrat. How people can say libertarians have more in common with democrats than the weak kneed Mitch republicans is beyond me.
Some of Mitch's buddy's activities:

His conservatism ends at the bumper stickers on his car.
