With 31 percent of the vote, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) won the closely watched Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll this weekend, dwarfing second place finisher Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) 11 percent of the vote.
The son of libertarian icon and former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), Rand Paul has emerged as the nation’s leading spokesperson for an anti-government philosophy that would undo nearly all the accomplishments of the New Deal and the Civil Rights Era. As a Senate candidate in 2010, Paul came out against the Civil Rights Act of 1964′s bans on private discrimination — including the bans on employment discrimination and whites-only lunch counters — claiming that the right of “private ownership” should trump African Americans’ and other minorities’ right to be free from invidious discrimination. Permitting private discrimination, according to Paul, is “the hard part about believing in freedom.”
Nor are Paul’s libertarian views limited to his skepticism towards civil rights protections. In 2013, Paul endorsed a long-ago overruled Supreme Court decision called Lochner v. New York. The Court’s Lochner opinion relied on a fabricated “right to contract” that it and subsequent cases used to strike down various laws protecting workers from exploitative employers — on the idea that if a worker signs a contract that forces them to work 16 hours a day for barely subsistence wages then it would somehow violate the worker’s rights to pay them more money for fewer hours work.

Rand Pauls father also won the CPAC poll two years in a row

Didn't help him at all

Put another way, the guy who came in first at CPAC believes that American businesses should have the right to discriminate against the guy who came in third at CPAC.

His version of freedom is you are free to move back to wherever you came from.

Would we expect anything different from a group which hopes to return the United States to the early 18th Century?

This thread is a perfect example of liberal horseshit. Not a word of truth in it. full of libtardian lies and innuendo.

Paul is for FREEDOM for everyone. EQUAL freedom for everyone.

What you assholes refuse to understand is that there is a price for real freedom. The price is that you are responsible for your actions, you are responsible to take care of yourself (unless you are truly mentally or physically unable).

The free cheese may be ending for you leeches, the american people are fed up with you.

One of your democrat heroes said it quite well "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" JFK understood freedom, obozo and most of you do not.

few would object if you took that option.

your view of Lochner is totally wrong. But that is not surprising, you are wrong about everything.

One phrase from JFK does not tell the whole story, nor does it characterize him as a Libertarian. Of course as a Parrot you know little about President Kennedy and let me disabuse you of the notion that he was a Callous Conservative:

Great observation!!!! Spot on. They are the embodiment of hypocrisy.

My best friend's man friend is your typical far right wingnut: He's been on SSDI for 25 years, takes pay under the table in cash for the work he does, has health care through his military retirement and yet professes to be a conservative Republican. The ******* hypocrite is a socialist through-and-through but doesn't see that at all, of course.

What do you think JFK meant when he said that?

That we should not have social programs?

 

[TakeAStepBack]

More typical liberal dishonesty. I'm shocked.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

The accomplishments of the new deal and civil rights era. Yeah, nothing says "civil" like reverse discrimination fostered by the state and a "New Deal" that's only real claim to accomplishment is the burden of debt it has drowned this nation in. Next you'll tell me the war on poverty was a success.



Liberals are just dishonest. It's who they are.

 

[hazlnut]

Yes, your country asks you to follow Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

If you have a problem with that, perhaps this is NOT the country for you.


Rand Paul is racist scum.

 

[Katzndogz]

Put another way, they picked the guy who thinks black only lunch counters should be legal.

The US was doing pretty well in the 18th century. You progressives want to turn the US into Soviet Russia circa 1937. How did that work out for the Russians? Say around 25 million or so, who never went home...

 

[TakeAStepBack]

Yes, wanting freedom of association is racist. Because no african americans, no Greeks, no Italians, No asian has ever voluntarily and deliberately segregated themselves into communities in the US!




Liberals are just dishonest and dumb.

Once again you're too lazy to walk across the street from a business you don't want to deal with to one that you do, government needs to take care of that for you.

The same government that's making healthcare more "affordable." The cure is worse than the disease...

Paul, as with most libertarians and others on the right, is ignorant of, and has contempt for, the Constitution and its case law.
