What if This Nut "Ayn" Rand Paul Wins?
   
Can a man who believes in segregated facilities really be elected to the United State Senate in 2010?

 :whatever:

These are the same people who are bitching about  A.G. Blumenthal getting 'taken out of context', right ?

Paul's position isn't racist , it's that government shouldn't be regulating idiocy. If a business wants to segregate by race, it should be allowed to do so, the owners stupid policies will cause the business to either need to evolve or die.

Its a fairly pure Libertarian position... but that should be expected from a Paul.

Rand Paul does not believe in segregated facilities, duh. He isn't a Democrat segregationist.

But to be fair, the KY voters got a fast one pulled on them.  Paul is as nutty as his old man.

He is right, no matter how you want to take it.  A business establishment should be able to do business as it sees fit.  This is no longer the fifties and sixties.  Any business that turns away paying customers is going to close.

There are still segregated businesses operating in almost every city. Granted most of them have bars that I have seen, but they are still segregated by race.

The whole things been blown out of proportion.  Rand Paul was 1 year old when the act was voted in, so the question is irrelevant, it's already the law.  It's like asking a potential (or current) representative if he was around in 1789 would he have agreed to ratify the US Constitution, and if he answered "yes" that means he approves of slavery.    :mental:

Lets see, about the question of do businesses have the right to refuse service to  people for any posted reason.?

YUP----------No shirt, no shoes, no service.

No pets allowed, no smoking, no fighting, no swearing.

Cash only, no credit cards,

No tobacco sold to minors, must be 21 to buy beer or wine..

Must speak English when ordering, no spitting on the floor.

No refunds or store credits,

No one under the age of 21 allowed.

Woman's club/ men's club only, Members club only.

Everyone will be carded as to age.

Beer and wine not sold after midnight.

No cowboy boots with spurs allowed on the dance floor,

Darn these are just a few posted signs I have seen so far.

I actually have seen signs that said, NO Yankees allowed.

I kind of like Rand Paul, I think some people judge him by his father rather than judging him as his own person.  For the record, I would rather have nutty Ron Paul as President than Obama any day.  He is crazy enough to actually follow through with some of the things that need to be done in this country.  I would take a slightly nutty libertarian over a thin skinned narcissistic devicive progressive any day.

Do not concur.  Paul's foreign policy is just as damaging as Obama's, and his fiscal policy, while it plays to his supporters, would devastate the economy for far longer than it will take to fix Obama's ****ups.

I agree with you on the foreign policy part but on the fiscal part I don't.  Could you tell me what it is about his fiscal policy that would devastate the economy more than Obama already has?

I think the way most people look at it, it's like going 60 and slamming your E brake to rapid turn the other direction.  Jacks your car up like no ones business.  Best to take a slower more controlled turn.  His policies as the eventual long term goal might be better, but right now no.

He likely believes, much as AuH2O did, that it would be ideal to just shut those tyrannical programs down, it is not wise to do so.  It is better to gradually reduce and eliminate those programs.

There are many programs that can be eliminated, for which the Federal Government has NO BUSINESS being involved in...

HUD
Dept. of Education
EPA

and the list goes on.

Right now, given the current regime, as Rush calls them, I'd say all gubmint programs are suspect! What we need is a few more Zars, Yeah, that's the ticket!!
