Ron (and Rand) Paul are cryptofascists
Honestly, that's the word that best describes them
They promise libertarian magic, but their ends really are fascist
They pander to the libertarians...

11. But he's not a Libertarian: Anti choice, pro tjheocracy.
Sure, he wants to cut the military, but that's about the only libertarian tenet he holds
Using again.

Using again.
"Again"?
This implies a pause of some sort.

15. Well, this prompts a couple of head scratchers.
1. Fascism typified by an all-powerful centralized state. How do you have government-small-enough-to-drown-in-the-bath-tub fascism?
2. You make no bones about rejecting belief in God or even the ideal of God at every turn and presumably favor evolutionary theory as the sole explanation of humanity's origins. So how is it you have come to disapprove so strongly of the social aspect of this theory?
Also, I have never heard Ron or Rand make any kind of religious statement. Not at all. Did I miss something?

Wonder if Joe Biden was sending a secret message to the DUmmies when he did his "SHOTGUN" thing......"Better do a double shotgun DUmmies are you might discover that we've screwed you".

I've learned to ignore Tav. His drug-addled rants aren't worth the papers they are rolled in.

Yo Taverner!!! Whasssssup dude? I understand there is a new drug out there. Cheaper than heroin with the same buzz. I think it is called Crocodile or something like that.
You should try it.

And then he can try to sign up for Obamacare.

I bet ol' Tav's ass gets good and chapped when he reads this, from Yale, no less! :rotf:

Invalid scientific study, DD. /DU mode off
Wanna bet this prof gets fired?
I got to take this over to the hill.com. There is always one idiot that always posts some study that conservatives are less intelligent than the libs.
It will never hit the local liberal rag here but I will send it to them and ask them if they got the journalist nad's to print it.
H5 for the find, DD!!

I don't think so. Never heard either one, one way or the other.

Heard about it on Rush's show yesterday. Found the link on his website.

25. Fascism means the merging of corporations with the state
which is what would happen under RW libertarianism.
(So I think you're right).
Who was it that pimped the "too big to fail", dipshit? When we were saying, "****'em! Let'em fail! Someone else will fill the void", you idiots were handing out our treasury to corporations like Halloween candy. Idiot.

Once you leave the protected world of DUmbass think maybe the exact definition of Fascism would be familiar to what you want.

1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2
: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Sounds an awful lot like what we've been witnessing the past few years.
IRS suppression of Conservative groups comes to mind.
There are more.

How about this part, tavernturd.
http://cpj.org/reports/2013/10/obama-and-the-press-us-leaks-surveillance-post-911.php
U.S. President Barack Obama came into office pledging open government, but he has fallen short of his promise. Journalists and transparency advocates say the White House curbs routine disclosure of information and deploys its own media to evade scrutiny by the press. Aggressive prosecution of leakers of classified information and broad electronic surveillance programs deter government sources from speaking to journalists. A CPJ special report by Leonard Downie Jr. with reporting by Sara Rafsky
“This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,†said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times.
“One authentically new technique pioneered by the Obama White House is government creation of content—photos of the president, videos of White House officials, blog posts written by Obama aides—which can then be instantly released to the masses through social media. And they are obsessed with taking advantage of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and every other social media forum, not just for campaigning, but governing. They are more disciplined about cracking down on staff that leak, or reporters who write things they don’t like.â€
These are just a few examples, tavernturd. Care to make a fascist analogy yet?

Never. They're just libertarian nuts.

Yo, tavernturd.
Here's another thread in CC, that describes the traits of fascism.

Reply to your "friend" with a reference to the article and the now-concluded debt limit deal that the author appears to be a false prophet -- and an idiot.
However, if you're feeling philosophical NU is engaged in a handing-of-the-ass to her fellow Proglodytes.
