My favorite items on Dr. Paul's store (which my computer gave me a security warning when I clicked on the page) are the:

Rand Paul Flip Flops (which could be useful later on)

"NSA Spy Cam Blocker" It is literally a little rectangle you can cover your webcam with to stop the NSA from spying on you. The rectangle says RAND on it.

Well that's a particularly deep brand of paranoia to think that the NSA is actively looking at your webcam. Sure they'll steal your dick pics and laugh at your goony micropenis but they aren't going to actively search for that stuff unless you are a threat.

The NSA archives anything and everything they can access. it would not surprise me one bit if they were caching video from RATs just like they cache anything else they can get their hands on. I mean Flame, Stuxnet et all are nasty as gently caress and its not like the NSA is above collecting anything and everything they can whether you're a citizen or not because why not.

That said, the idea that you would put the name of any Federal Politician on your webcam blocker is loving hilarious for many many reasons.

Yes advocating the repeal of the PATRIOT act is something I see Rand doing.

I think that's what happened. LF was a heck of a place, weren't it? Ugh.

I've been wondering for a while now: What do people realistically think someone like Randpaul will actually accomplish as prez, and how would their day-to-day lives actually change when the sun rises over a new Libertarian Utopia?

Edit:

I've never understood this myself. There is nothing that seems very libertarian about what Rand or Ron Paul says beyond their pro-business/feudalism insanity, it's just the same conservative poo poo but with more well-crafted anti-Big Government tinfoil haberdashery. And the competition is catching up in that department.

Is Rand even against the War on Drugs?

quote:

“Every one of us is concerned about the Supreme Court’s gay marriage decision likely coming in June,” he said. “The first thing and I think the most important thing every one of us can do, is pray. Lift up in prayer.” He reiterated his vow to press for a constitutional amendment that would clarify the power of state legislatures to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. If the high court does legalize gay marriage nationwide, he added, he would prod Congress to strip federal courts of jurisdiction over the issue, a rarely invoked legislative tool. “If the court tries to do this it will be rampant judicial activism. It will be lawlessness, it will be fundamentally illegitimate,” he said.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,



I am often relieved that a lot of regressive social conservatives think the "power of prayer" is a thing and will mobilize their supporters to do that in response to something they don't like, rather than anything effective. That's not even meant as a :smug: comment on religion, just that in terms of political activism even the most half-baked protest or "awareness raising" would be better.

Of course in practice what it means is guys like Ted can appear to be advocating action on something, so far as their supporters think, without actually advocating anything any other voters will see as action.
