We depend on Libertarians like Rand Paul to protect us from Big Government.
So when he endorsed the Surveillance State, he proved to be no Libertarian at all - he's just another Big Government Republican.
And
Big Government Republicans don't merely want a Washington big enough to control the 50 states, they want a Washington big enough to control several continents. When George Bush said he wanted Washington to rebuild the greater middle east, the Libertarians should have taken a stand. Remember: the Libertarians tell us that Washington can't run a laundromat. So how in the hell can they rebuild the Arab world.
Don't Republicans get it? Washington can't save the world.
"Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help". This is the Republican mantra.
When George Bush gave big government the authority to track the phone and internet communications of American citizens, the Libertarians should have stood up to them. The Tea Party should have protested the growth of Government power.
They didn't.
Why do Republicans always make Washington bigger? Why do they put so much power in Washington? Why do they give Washington so much money? Only a Republican could create the largest, most secretive, most expensive beuraucracy in history > Homeland Security.

The Libertarians and the Tea Party don't, in the end, won't criticize Big Government when the GOP is in charge.
When President Romney takes office, we will not hear a peep from Rand Paul or the Tea Party. Everybody knows this.
