True.
Exactly. Even if no one is home it does violence to your home and security.
He is an idiot. No one can fix the black community but the black community. Until they accept the fact that welfare is nothing more than a vote buying scam that THEY bought into and simultaneously destroyed their family structure, nothing will change for them. It’s like a drug addict that can’t be helped until they want to change themselves. These last 6 years has made it impossible for anyone outside the black community to help them with all these fallacious accusations of racism. To change the punishments and records for criminals is only going to hurt the rest of us.
Listen, I don’t agree with everything Rand Paul says or proposes, like with most politicians. I think he is on to something regarding our penal system. What specifically needs to happen to improve it? ....not sure, but at least he is starting the conversation.
To compare him to Hillary, or Obama, is mere histrionics. He isn’t even close.
to come out with this statement though only shows he is pandering to blacks for their votes. Not that they will eventually vote for him.
“ I see an America where criminal justice is applied equally and any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed.”
So he goes along with the liberals spin of the penal system is racist and those laws which jail blacks shall be repealed.
Sorry but the man is far left.
Paul , Obama and Hillary .
immigration, amnesty, reduced military no leadership in the world, homosexual agenda, they all agree and now calling people on the right Neo Cons is just confirming he should join Hillary
Yes and I can't really say why. I think of him as an atheist and when he said "God" it was like a foreign word to him.
I’m sorry...judging by the daily attacks on white citizens by people of darker skin tones, clearly, there’s not nearly enough people in prison.
Truthfully we do incarcerate too many people. We have too many laws. Almost everything is agains’t the law anymore. The US incarcerates more people than any other country in the world. Its expensive and unnecessary. We need to fix the problem.
“found his supporters to be scary”
That is a pretty good summation of the situation. Supporters of Paul are indeed scary. The Libertarian mindset is scary. It isn’t necessary the positions they take, but the rationale behind them.
“but even Paul is better than another DemocRat.”
I strongly disagree. I will not vote for Paul, which is actually a vote for the Libertarian Party. Not ever. He is just as silly as the democrats.
It would be very wise for a small-government candidate to work with Rand, and get his endorsement, and hopefully the majority of his supporters, at the right time during the primary season. Offering an excellent cabinet position or other support that would help Rand pursue some of his goals (eg getting the fedgov out of punishing legal medical marijuana businesses) should be on Cruz's mind already.
great.. turn all the criminals loose on the streets again, THAT will fix everything!
/s
(good grief, this idiot will get us all killed!)
GO AWAY PAUL!
Cruz or Lose
You label someone Libertarian, and then pour hate on the label, and refuse to vote in any way that might help that label. Such short-sighted ad hominem thinking is utterly moronic. He raises points that nobody else is. He brings voters that nobody else can. Anyone with half a brain would think about how to work with him, not how to ignore him and anyone else who gets a knee-jerk label in your head.
Great—the new way for indolent men to be supported by the government: commit a crime bad enough to send you to prison, but not so bad as to keep you there.
Frankly, I think his supporters must be stoned. The use of that stuff has destroyed too many of their brain cells.
I agree the guy’s scary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_T._Francis#Anarcho-tyranny Sam Francis wrote: What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny – the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through "sensitivity training" and multiculturalist curricula, "hate crime" laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.
And he also wrote: The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites ... or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and "pathological" elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms – people who do not like to pay taxes, wear seat belts, or deliver their children to the mind-bending therapists who run the public schools; or the people who own and keep firearms, display or even wear the Confederate flag, put up Christmas trees, spank their children, and quote the Constitution or the Bible – not to mention dissident political figures who actually run for office and try to do something about mass immigration by Third World populations.
===========================
It's about scaring you, the peasant, into supporting the always-expanding Police State.
If they killed off the scary ones, how could they scare you any more?
When even Lindsey Graham says that Paul is to the left of Obama on foreign policy it speaks volumes. He is backing Obamas Iran deal and says were he President military action would be off the table. We can’t afford another President who will not back Israel. He is trying to cut defense aid to Israel even now.
Ted Cruz 2016!
Your point matters. Perhaps a better approach would involve sponsorship and some type of subsidized work. But welfare seems unlikely to allow the former prisoner to become fully independent and autonomous as we would want them to aspire to be.
Rand Paul IS the nut that fell very close to the tree.
