Congressman Ron Paul, Rand’s father, was also a lonely , principled dissident. Almost alone he opposed the American military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. His eloquent , reasoned speeches and votes were ridiculed at the time. Yet if you read those speeches Mr. Paul was remarkably prescient and accurate on the outcomes of those interventions and the detrimental effect they would have on America. Perhaps Rand Paul has concluded that a fully functioning Federal conglomerate is more harmful to the country and its people than one that is largely shut down.

Our initial strategy was correct in the aftermath of 9/11.

Our special forces worked closely with The Northern Alliance. We shouldn't have sent ground troops to Afghanistan.

Paul voted nay because he wanted a guarantee of a change in the bill regarding hemp.

Or, or, hear me out, Randcid is just a typical Liberdopian. "Dude, I just wanna get high 'n s**t without the man harshing my buzz, man."
