Rand Paul, racist and tea party supporter, has mysteriously changed his position on

the government has a say in matters that involve its currency. the federal government uses its currency to influence decisions within a state.

examples:
1: hiway funds - states have to agree to adopt federal speed limits
2: title iv - schools have to be able to prove equitable availability of opportunities in sports and academics based on gender

i'm sure they're are countless others - these happened to come to mind.
 
And I'm not positive, but I believe he indicated his issue with the interference in private business was philosophical, not practical. I think his actual words were "intellectual issue, not political issue"

Do you believe there is a difference?
 
Good. Paul has learned to lie. That's one 'quality' the Pauls lacked while every single other politician didn't.


Now, Rand can lie about CRA, Iraq, and anything else to get dumb fucking leftists off his back.
 
Why is it so unrealistic and ideological to believe that government shouldn't force people to associate or not to associate with one another?
 
1. that sucks. he should have stuck to what he believes.

2. I'm going to hold out hope that this was a spokesperson speaking out of turn, and Paul didn't authorize the statement.
 
Because that is a morally untenable way to allow a supposedly free, open and equal society to run. It is my position that denying a person a job, a place to live, a place to eat, a place to relax based on their color is disgusting.
 
no, i'll give you that much - discriminatory is the wider scope that should have been used to refer to Paul's comments
 
this is a cop out answer. according to you/this, the govt should have a say in how I run my home finances because I gave my wife GOVERNMENT CURRENCY for lunch today.
 
If the government can tell me who I am allowed to associate with, how can you call it a free society?
 
Of course there is a diffenence. But he is essentially applying for a job that would certainly allow him to apply intellectual issues as he interprets them into political issues via the legislative process.

By virtue of that, I think exploring where he is at intellectually is absolutely fair game. Imagine where we would be right now if Jim Crow was still alive and well in the private sector because there was no disincentive to adapt? I believe that society is in a better place right now because of the CRA, not despite it.

Personally, I think having another RP in a legislative process would not be beneficial.
 
And Rand needs to fire Jesse Benton. That faggot was worthless during the Ron Paul Campaign
 
and he openly admitted his version would have allowed for discrimination IN PRIVATE BUSINESS.

that doesn't make him racist. that doesn't make anything he said racist. it makes him anti-government-involved-in-private-business.
