Quote reblogged from Friend of the People with 123 notes
Ron Paul is vilified for missing a few paragraphs out of hundreds of newsletters by people who pass 2,000-page bills without reading a single word.

And then those same people blame Ron Paul’s policies for the messes caused by their thousand-page bills.
So perfect

Ron Paul only got 89 seconds to speak. Seriously? Rick Perry gets more time than that to try to remember something.

Quoth Digby, “Basically Ron Paul believes that it’s an infringement against fundamental liberty for the long arm of the state to reach into your wallet, but it’s just fine to stick its hands into your uterus in the name of freedom. Libertarianism should be so proud to have such a coherent spokesman.”
Let’s vote for him anyway because he wants to decriminalize marijuana.
I’ve finally figured it out.
All this time I’ve wondered why the Left, a group that purports to be caring, and humanitarian, and loving, and empathetic, and claims to fight for the little guy, would be so flippant about mass murder perpetrated by warmongering despots so long as those despots have a (D) next to their name.
And so, after watching this video and listening to Ron Paul describe the murder of a full-term, viable, breathing, crying infant, then seeing Tumblr’s leftist crowd deride his moral outrage in the name of some twisted, incoherent ideology that preaches gender fetishism and absolute selfishness even at the expense of innocent human life, it finally all makes sense.
Again I’d like to emphasize that Ron Paul was talking about viable infants — human beings, in fact. It’s one thing to have sincere disagreements about whether or at which point a fetus constitutes a life, and certainly that is something upon which reasonable people may disagree. But it’s wholly something else to callously ridicule genuine objections to the killing (though, admittedly, perhaps not unjustified) of a fully-grown infant.
But at least they’re consistent. They don’t mind Barack Obama murdering thousands of nameless, faceless brown people around the world, and they don’t mind abortionists leaving full-term babies to starve to death in a trash can. Though I disagree vehemently, there is a reasonable, rational case to be made in support of abortion rights and doing so does not in and of itself make someone a terrible person, but the rabid, knee-jerk leftists on Tumblr certainly don’t fall into that category.

Let me just leave this video here. Bill O’Reilly, you know how you railroad your guests and don’t let them talk?
This. This is what that’s like.
Beautiful.
Rand Paul vrs. Rachel Maddow on the civil rights act. Maddow is being a stereotypical liberal, I have to say. She’s pure emotion, Paul is being logical, fair, nuanced. She’s grandstanding.
I read Paul’s quotes on the Civil Rights Act last fall. They were nuanced, fair and utterly impossible to possess in the soundbite world we live in today.
People literally can’t understand the difference between condoning a belief and allowing other people to have it. They cannot understand that something might be wrong and yet government respond might not be the answer.
And they really, really can’t understand that government policies have unforeseen results.
Maddow thinks Paul’s points about guns in restaurant is some sort of tangent or dodging the question. It’s not. It’s completely relevant.
Strict constitutionalist is not free enough. States can still be tyrannical, hell, local governments can be. But the Pauls are a step in the right direction, They haven’t sold their souls yet.
