No he has not been exposed as being crazy, he’s exposed himself as a libertarian, which in my opinion makes he better than crazy, but not presidential material.
At least Ron wasn’t trying to fool anybody.
Paultards being Paultards.
Gee.
A liberal takes the side of other liberals and some people are surprised.
Rand Paul and his father have never been conservative other than on fiscal policy.
The same thing some FReepers are thinking when they do the same.
The alarm bells started going off on Paul when TIME was pushing him on their front cover.
Anytime they, or any other members of the Democratic Propaganda Cabal (NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, A, etc.) promote a Republican candidate, that person is off my “can be trusted” list.
Immediately and permanently.
I forget who; but I remember someone saying that libertarians are nothing more than confused liberals.
Rand Paul left clear that he is as qualify to be president as it have proved to be Obama.
Obama have criticized the CIA over allegations of torturing those terrorists who master mind the 9/11 attack to New York towers. But Obama showed his twisted evil mind when he embrace the monsters who have murder, tortured and oppressed the Cuban people over half a century. Birds of a feather…
Cuban Communist Creed
“Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!” Ernesto Guevara from the book that became the Motorcycle Diaries.
“To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We execute from revolutionary conviction!” Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Executions? Certainly we execute! And we will CONTINUE executing as long as it is necessary! This is a war to the DEATH against the revolution’s enemies!” Che Guevara while addressing the U.N. General Assembly on December 9, 1964.
Please note: all of Guevara’s above quotes are found in the sadist/coward’s (alas, the “acrid odor of gunpowder and blood” never reached Guevara’s nostril from actual combat. It always came from the close-range murder of bound, gagged and blindfolded men) own diaries.
According to the Black Book of Communism, published in Paris, 14,000 men and boys were executed in Cuba by that stage — the equivalent, given the relative populations, of over 3 million executions in the U.S. “VIVA CHE! VIVA FIDEL!” bellowed Jesse Jackson while arm in arm with the agent of that appalling bloodbath (Fidel Castro) at the University of Havana in 1984. Jesse Jackson, by the way, wrote a book condemning capital punishment.
Armando Valladares, is a Cuban poet released (because of international pressure) from Castro’s political dungeons in 1982 after serving 22 years of a 30 year sentence for publicly opposing the Communist take over of the Cuban Revolution. Valladares was made by president Ronald Reagan U.S. Ambassador to the United Nation’s Commission on Human Rights. His Memoirs, Against all Hope, was a best seller in the United States and around the world and has been translated to numerous languages.)
Valladares vividly expressed how much it meant the international reaction to the Cuban political martyrdom: “During those years, with the purpose of forcing us to abandon our religious beliefs and to demoralize us, the Cuban Communist indoctrinators repeatedly used the statements made by some representatives of the American Christian churches. Every time a pamphlet was published in U.S., every time a clergyman would write an article in support of Castro’s dictatorship, a translation would be given to us, and that was far worse for the Christian political prisoners than the beatings or the hunger. Incomprehensible to us, while we waited for the embrace of solidarity from our brothers in Christ, those who were embraced were our tormentors.”
Someone told me some time ago that they wanted a Paul foreign policy in the White House. I told them they already have it right now.
This incident is another proof that this is so.
Paul did me a favor by single-handedly winnowing the 2016 GOP field of acceptable candidates by one.
I used to really feel strongly about the Cuban boycott because of for no other reason the Florida Cuban community that was consistently against government over reach and so were staunch Republicans. Lately, though, that seems to have been changing with many supporting the far left democrat party. So, naturally, my concern for the boycott waned.
Wonder how they feel about the far left Democrat party now?
Maybe. But I read there was a protest about this issue in Miami and only a couple of hundred people showed up...vs the thousands that would normally protest. I’m not convinced that ‘Cuba’ will be Rand Paul’s big problem w/ conservative voters.
“The gathering at a Little Havana park drew more than 200 people, largely older Cuban exiles who chanted “Obama, traitor!” and waved U.S. and Cuban flags. Some expressed disappointment that the protest was not larger; the demonstrators filled about half the park.”
Rubio’s emotional reaction is why we as Americans don’t want natural foreigners in the White House. A natural born citizen of America has no such ties to cloud his judgment.
That said, Rand Paul would still make a better president that any number of RINO scum (Jeb Bush, Romney, Chris Christie) poised to run for the nomination as their only "ideology" is unfettered lust for power.
Rand Paul is a true libertarian. They are ONLY small government and take the side of the leftists in EVERYTHING ELSE! Wake up, America and start paying attention. I thought I was a libertarian until I started writing them, asking them to define some of their views. I realized QUICKLY that I was NOT a libertarian, but a true conservative. There is a HUGE difference! Not only that, but both Pauls change from one side to another whenever they see political gain for themselves. DISGUSTING! I could NOT vote for Rand Paul.
Paul is a libertarian. No borders and no trade restrictions.
Ron Paul foreign policy naivety was tolerable but combined with his arrogance, it became unbearable. However, RAND Paul generally has avoided his father's short comings until now.
Clearly, Cuba will have to engage the US economically to survive and for the US engagement is much better than an island evasion. But in the World economic climate of dropping oil prices and Chavistomisa on the verge of clasp, why would Obama give Cuba a free mulligan (golf lingo so Obama can understand). Worse, if Paul claims to understand the free market, why can't he understand that capitalism and by extension democracy will not come to Cuba without changes in the rule of law?
Then Ron doubles down on his mistake by throwing a temper tantrum on social media. This exposed that his father's short comings of arrogance runs in the Paul family.
