Senator Rand Paul is one of a handful of members of the Congress that possesses a set of principles. He stands for the principles of the American Revolution -- put simply, human liberty.
The result has been vicious attacks by leaders of the Republican side of the ruling cartel. Epic fail presidential candidate John McCain has referred to Senator Paul as a "whacko bird," and Senator Lindsey Graham, who has said he's "glad" that the NSA is spying on every American's calls and emails, has called Senator Paul's concerns for civil liberties "ridiculous." The latest attack has come from Governor Christie who referred to Senator Paul's "libertarianism" as "dangerous thought."
The attacks against the Senator are revealing; when it comes to the monolithic and unbridled power of the state over its subjects, the Republicans and Democrats are in complete agreement with their "friends across the aisle."
They love having the power to control every aspect of your personal and business life; They are comfortable with the 150,000-plus pages of federal regulations, hundreds of unconstitutional agencies, government surveillance, perpetual war, confiscatory taxation, and all the other trappings of an authoritarian state. Their only real point of disagreement is who gets to be in charge.
Sure, when it comes to specifics, there are glaring differences. Barack Obama wants to cripple businessmen and destroy the energy industry with taxation and regulation, while Mitt Romney wanted to loosen the government's stranglehold just enough to keep the producers working to fund the government; but neither candidate would have dreamt of removing the yoke of slavery from American citizens and businesses and returning to a state of liberty as enshrined in the constitution.
