Just because you cannot see the wrongness of it, doesn't make it right.

That's the height of backward twisted paranoid thinking.

I can usually tell who is full of bull and who is sincere.

Yes, the word 'freedom' is used to incite war and rally the troops and the illusion of 'freedom' has to be maintained.

But then there is real freedom, and real patriots. You have to learn to see the difference.

Couldn't think of a proper answer?

It is the truth.

Any politician whose stance is freedoms is a lyin to ya.

Government is the opposite of freedom.

I have to disagree here, as much issue as I also have with blatant, hateful, ignorant racists.

When I hear the word 'private' I equate the situation with my (or anyone elses) home. A place THEY maintain and own with no outside resource. In that situation, I understand the danger in mandating to anyone who they can and cant have their private home(or business). I will give an example of how private affairs are different than public ones (and should be) in the eyes of the law.

Try running around nude in public or on public property or government property,,,,BIG TROUBLE

but if you run around nude in your own home(as long as its not within view of the public) ,,,its no big deal

I am a big proponent of Private things being kept private(I am constantly posting on the rights of celebrities and politicians to be left alone concerning their personal relationships).

As to racists, what goes around comes around eventually, but what a racist does in private doesnt directly concern me.

I agree.

You did not read the post properly though. I did not say private in my post.

They don't HAVE to sue 'em - they can just 'suggest' to the IRS that they 'look into' their tax records for, oh, the last ten years or so ... why leave a paper trail when a nod and a wink will accomplish the same thing ... ?

Rand Paul stands for the individuals right to self determination and that is what the left wingers don't like. Being ruled by a small group of elite is not liberty, does not provide any freedom, and does not end in peaceful tranquility.


This quote says it all...


"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history,
whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite."

Thomas Jefferson

Collectivism is a cancer. 5% ruling 95%..

Individual rights only go so far also.

You cannot have the individual right to commit crimes at least not without punishment even on your personal time.

Discrimination is a crime and should be punished.

Rand Paul is condoning discrimination.

It is a crime.

It is wrong.

Making him wrong.

I agree, like when the top 10percent have 70percent of the wealth,,,,,thats a pretty powerful position of power,,,

The scary part is that you can vote ...

Even more scarier is that you can

Self determination allows for your children to become one of those people. Make their own money and choices. Collectivism expects them to languish in poverty like the rest..

Dragoness you don't make any sense at all. On the one hand you say that any government at all is not freedom. Then you turn around and start spouting about who should be punished for whatever.

"Discrimination" is not a crime. You don't even know what discrimination is. Rand Paul is not condoning discrimination. If you think that then you are just wrong plain and simple.

Anytime anyone hires anyone they "discriminate" between one person over another. They make a choice. Making a choice requires discrimination. I would 'discriminate' against an X-convict and I would choose a college graduate. If anyone were to tell me that I had to hire an X-convict or a percentage of them, I would tell them to go jump in a lake.

The point is, if we exercise our freedom, we will hire the best person for the job and probably a person we think we could get along with.

Maybe you have a personal problem. Maybe you have been discriminated against for some reason. But the bottom line is that freedom will win out over any man-made laws that attempt to control people.

I am for freedom and for people like Rand Paul. I am not a racist and neither is he. Get over it.

You are wrong and not making your point well at all. Reread the article.

First off government is the antithesis of freedom no matter how you put it. Did I say government is unnecessary? no.

Second of all discrimination is a crime and it is a very legitimate crime.

None of the faux freedoms fought about can be possible for all humans unless all humans start with the same playing field.

Rand Paul has stated that he is a racist who believes in discrimination from businesses.

So you cannot deny his own words.

OMG!!!!

Show me in that interview where Paul said, "I am a racist."

You make accusations without any proof to back up your statements here. I am not actually sure, you heard the interview and maybe need to readdress the statements themselves to define a better understanding for yourself. I can not see any objectivity here on your part of actually reading the statements. It sounds like some kind of second hand, twisted form of the truth.

yes, self determination,,,the un refuted way to become one of the elite,,,,,,,, not really

in ADDITION to self determination,,things like resources, networks, and education, also contribute to where the wealth goes

I am not talking about being successful,, or making alot of money at a career, I am talking about having WEALTH

to think that those who hold it dont distribute and share it amongst a very small few , is kind of naive

with VERY RARE exceptions,, a child being born into poverty today,, is NOT going to be at the top ten percent in wealth tomorrow

If they've taken the intiative to EARN the money, WHY should ANYONE else have a say in what they do (or don't do) with it? It's THEIR MONEY. To have others dictate what I do with MY money is Communism. Who tells you how to spend YOUR money or what to spend it ON? More to the point, how often do you (or have you?) listen ... ? My guess is 'never'.

Gosh, golly, gee-wizz!

You don't mean to say she would actually lie about what Mr Paul said, do you?

Me thinks someone spends too much time parroting from obummer.corn
