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.

I think the guy who came in third believes that also

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

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.

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.

in this day and age we don't need the Civil Rights Act. Nobody is going to be discriminated against. Nobody is going to be told to get up from a lunch counter or find another place to lodge. However businesses will once again have a right to refuse service to anyone. Mind your P's and Q's and you can get served anywhere.

Nobody wants to discriminate? Then why was Arizona trying so hard to pass a law to allow discrimination?

They were trying to pass a law nobody wanted? So the majority of conservatives on this board who wanted that law are some sort of anomaly?

lol

You are a racist scum, and you don't even recognize that fact. For your information, a citizen is required to follow the law, but they are not required to agree with the law. You should know little things like that.

Nor, is it racist to support civil rights for all citizens, even when doing so may not please all citizens. All Americans have the right to discuss, agree with, and/or disagree with existing and proposed laws, regardless of who would, or would not benefit from that law.

I resided in the South during the final days of the Jim Crow laws, and I saw things that would make your skin crawl. I also saw a Black man work hard to keep control of his anger. and not beat the crap out of an asshole soda jerk. I seriously considered doing it for him, but he stopped me. Even if I did the beating, he would have been the one to suffer the repercussion. I didn't like racial discrimination then, and I don't like it now, and that includes the soft bigotry of liberal/socialists like yourself.

Black people, Brown people and yellow people are just as smart and just as competent to run their lives as White people are, and they don't need people like you holding their hands to keep them upright.

The notion of ‘returning’ to a pre-Lochner legal/economic paradigm is the most egregious manifestation of ignorant, reckless, and irresponsible rightwing reactionaryism.

This is the 21st Century, we exist in a global economy, and commerce occurs in interrelated markets both National and international. Libertarians and most on the right harbor a pathetic and naïve fantasy of reinstating anachronistic economic doctrines such as ‘freedom of contract’ which have been neither valid nor applicable for over 100 years – and for good reason: such doctrines are no longer capable of sustaining a modern, industrialized, first world economy as exists in the United States and most Western nations.

Indeed, by the second quarter of the 20th Century, the courts had wisely and appropriately acknowledged the reality of a modern economy and the true nature of the American workplace common to most Americans:

The [Washington State] legislature was entitled to adopt measures to reduce the evils of the "sweating system," [p399] the exploiting of workers at wages so low as to be insufficient to meet the bare cost of living, thus making their very helplessness the occasion of a most injurious competition.

There is no absolute freedom to do as one wills or to contract as one chooses. The guaranty of liberty does not withdraw from legislative supervision that wide department of activity which consists of the making of contracts, or deny to government the power to provide restrictive safeguards. Liberty implies the absence of arbitrary restraint, not immunity from reasonable regulations and prohibitions imposed in the interests of the community. The legislature had the right to consider that its minimum wage requirements would be an important aid in carrying out its policy of protection. The adoption of similar requirements by many States evidences a deep-seated conviction both as to the presence of the evil and as to the means adapted to check it. Legislative response to that conviction cannot be regarded as arbitrary or capricious, and that is all we have to decide. Even if the wisdom of the policy be regarded as debatable and its effects uncertain, still the legislature is entitled to its judgment.

The ignorant and naïve conservative.

Perhaps in ‘this day and age’ you’re unaware of recent Federal court rulings invalidating laws designed to discriminate against gay Americans, or current laws that discriminate against same-sex couples’ right to access marriage law.

Discrimination is alive and well today, however much the clueless tries to pretend otherwise.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Rand will never get my vote simply because I think he is a douche bag prick but the liberals better get used to him because he is going to be the next president of the US...I agree with PRIVATE businesses being allowed to not serve whoever they want that means ALL businesses,Latino,Black,White,Gay,Straight etc etc...bout the only thing I agree with that twit on.

I love how if you dispute the liberal orthodoxy, the libturds tell you to get the hell out of the country, but if the voters decline to approve gay marriage, they whine and cry like a 2-year-old who just dropped his ice cream cone on the ground.

Notice how that only works in one direction?

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

He rightly has contempt for its case law, which is nothing but a litany of equivocations, fabrications and outright falsehoods.

Why did the voters decline to approve gay marriage? Why does gay marriage need voter approval anyway? If you don't like gay people getting married, then don't marry a gay person.

It's that easy.

West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish (1937)

This is going to be fun.

What, exactly, makes you the ultimate authority on Lochner? Are you aware that a lot of scholars, both conservatives and liberal, think Lochner was one of the worst decisions the court ever handed down?

 

[Silhouette]

Chris Christie was right. He NAILED the essence of the GOP governing issue. If you can't get your candidate the votes he needs to win, you aren't going to be governing and the other side will be. I like how Christie instantly boils things down to their essence. This is what germans do. It is genetically appealing to me. If you don't win, you can't govern.

If they run another slick like Romney or some mechanical neocon mouthpiece for Dick Cheney's agenda, or a Pat Robertson clone they might as well save their campaign contribution money and just throw in the towel, hang it up and go home now. You can't fake authentic. And authentic is what the People are CRAVING. Like rain in a desert. You see, they don't want Christie because he won't do hopscotch for Cheney's agenda. And that's precisely why Christie is the most electable candidate they've got.
