What the heck?? We have a sitting (pretend) President running the IRS against political enemies, releasing terrorists, and doing God knows what else and Paul is talking about the war on drugs??? Talk about tone deaf...

They said his dad was crazy, but in fact I liked his dad, and I like him, now, too. But now finally I’m convinced the son is not so much like the dad.

I said that very same thing just a few hours ago this evening.

I fully agree, I don't use drugs, I don't push drugs and I never have. I fully support your injunction not to use or push. My overall question is, if we don't want people to push drugs, why do we by our policies make it so lucrative to push drugs?

“Even my college age sons friends are “so over” Rand Paul.”

I’ve got leftist grandaughter heading off to college this fall. I’m dreading it,in a sense. I love her dearly but she has changed so much——very liberal high school.

The answer will forever be, don’t deal in drugs.

Black race hustlers to Rand Paul:

Thanks for bowing and scraping before us. Now what are you going to give us?
Paul: well, gee, I'm a libertarian, you should work for what you want
race-hustlers: Next!!!

Three out of four people in prison are black or brown for nonviolent drug use.

***
Has Rand been doing drugs? What does that sentence even mean? Can someone define violent vs. nonviolent drug use? Does it make one black or brown?

Black and brown kids commit most of the non-drug crimes too, Rand, that’s why the jails are full of them.

Nope quite the contrary. Rand Paul sounds more and more like his daddy, Ron Paul.

"Three out of four people in prison are black or brown for nonviolent drug use."

I do not believe that they are all in for non-violent drug use, unless it was like Al Capone and taxes - they charged em with more, but that is what it took to get a conviction.

Don’t look now but it appears Rand is turning into Dad Ron.

False statement. Rand Paul has degenerated to lying. Why? Whose money is he following?

My kid did not go to Public School until his Senior Year (by choice..extenuating circumstances, not monetary Thank the Lord)
He joined up with a bunch of kids that we had always known thru town sports
and most of them turned out to be pretty Conservative per se.
He goes to a very Liberal School now, and is still a Conservative but he did have a brief xoxo w/ Ron Paul. Of course , he is rebelling against Mom at his age (who did not?) and he is becoming disillusioned w/Rand due to the immigration thing.
It is is not a question of “diversity”…they are all brainwashed.
It has become a question of survival.
There will be no jobs for smart kids unless this nonsense stops and they are all PAINFULLY aware of that fact.

A lot of it has to do with the type of drugs being used and sold. The suburban white kid selling weed to his friends isn’t taking the same risk as the kid slinging crack or heroin in the inner city. It’s two different worlds and two different lifestyles.

Illegal drugs are ... immoral and illegal.
Sneaking across our borders is ... immoral and illegal.
Abortion is ... immoral, institutionalized, state sanctioned murder.
Killing serial killers and murderers is ... moral and justified by law.
Winking at bad behavior results in ... immorality and more bad behavior.

Libertarians are just hippies with guns and that’s about the only reason we put up with them.
I can remember when good people were holding up signs for this guy that said, “Can you hear us now?”
It’s time again to separate the sheep from the goats.

I was kinda liking Rand, but he sounds a lot like a typical dem lately. Need to find someone else now.
