The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

‘The truth is not for all men,” Ayn Rand said, “but only for those who seek it.”

Sen. Rand Paul, a devotee of the famed philosopher of self-interest,
had a tough time with the truth this past week.

It's too bad that Rand has taken so little from his father. He's a lying Rep just like the rest of congress.

Rand Paul In LARD LAND!

Quoted Text
Even before Sen. Rand Paul’s plagiarism controversies, the senator had developed
a disconcerting habit. Whatever else one might think of Paul, and whether folks are concerned with
his practice of presenting others’ work as his own, the Kentucky Republican has routinely shared
some of his very odd beliefs with the public.

For example, the senator is now worried about doughnuts.
Sen. Rand Paul warned Americans that the federal government is targeting doughnuts, the latest
example of the oppressive nanny state in America.
“They’re coming after your doughnuts!” the Kentucky Republican said, referring to
the Food and Drug Administration decision to ban trans fats…. Paul’s remarks came during
a speech at The Charleston Meeting in South Carolina Monday night.
He went on to argue, “The FDA has banned unilaterally – some unelected bureaucrat has
banned trans fats…. If we’re gonna have a nanny state, and everybody’s gotta eat the
right thing and you can’t eat a doughnut, maybe we ought to just enforce it on the
government workers first.”

“In the imaginary world in which Rand Paul spends most of his time … the IRS has:
~ hired 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce Obamacare,
~ Obama is giving away free phones,
~ Medicaid is bankrupting Kentucky hospitals,
and all sorts of other terrible things that  aren’t actually happening are happening.”


Given all of this, does it really come as a shock that he’s under the false impression that
the FDA is “coming after your doughnuts”?

And why is the government involved in this? Thus the problem with the government, if they give out anything they want t regulate everyone for it.

Yea... why keep Americans from asbestos, or Dioxin, or Mirex... why even tell the public that they are ingesting or
breathing dangerous substances.  
Just let em die.

OMG!  Rand Paul still can't tell the truth!!!

Quoted Text
Sen. Rand Paul made his first major speech since being embroiled in a plagiarism
scandal, going out of his way to provide footnotes to sources. But the facts still weren’t right.

For example, in the following two sentences about Egypt, Paul makes at least four factual
errors.

“In Egypt recently, we saw a military coup that this Administration tells us is not a
military coup. In a highly unstable situation, our government continued to send F-16s,
Abrams tanks and American-made tear gas,” Paul said.

In fact, the State Department has repeatedly said it would not weigh in on whether the
July overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was a “coup,” deciding that the
administration was not required to make a determination one way or the other.

Following the military takeover of the Egyptian government, the administration quietly
halted all shipments of heavy weapons to Egypt, mostly adhering to a law requiring a
cutoff of military aid to any country that has experienced a coup, while maintaining a
position of ambiguity over whether a coup had taken place.

Moreover, last month, the administration publicly announced it would continue its
suspension of several categories of military aid to Egypt, including the F-16 fighter jets
and Abrams tanks that Paul said Tuesday had continued. The administration is hoping
to continue some military aid related to counterterrorism and other issues, but is seeking
specific authority from Congress for those items.

In addition, the ABC News report Paul cites in his footnotes for this information is from
2011 and only mentions that U.S. made tear gas was used in the Egyptian revolution
that occurred two years ago, well before Morsi’s election or his overthrow.


Paul’s statements on the U.S.’s Syria policy are equally problematic.

But Americans did breath that stuff.  Americans were only aware of it's danger AFTER an alternative was developed.

This is funny coming from a media that was lied to by president Obama and his "if you like your insurance you can keep it" lie.  

Yeah, real problematic.lol
