Rand Paul has proven to be just another establishment politician that cares more about his own career in politics than about truth, liberty and freedom. Not only did he endorse Obama-Lite last night, but he did it on Faux News. To top it off, he went on that despicable, neo-con, warmongering, liberty hating, Wall Street loving, Ron Paul trashing, Sean Hannity’s worthless piece of shit excuse for a news show to announce his love for Mittens. It was a sad day for people who believe in freedom, free markets, sound money and non-interventionism. There isn’t a 5% difference between Romney and Obama on the issues important to this country’s future.
For those who think Rand will have more of a say in policy issues or now be in line for VP, stop smoking that weed. Once you get into bed with the establishment, you catch their disease. It should be clear to anyone with a critical thinking brain cell in their body that this country CANNOT be changed from within the system. The system is a rotting, corrupt, oligarchy that must be destroyed before there is any chance at fixing this country. Rand Paul and the rest of the supposed “Tea Party” insurrectionists are being lured into the establishment by promises of power and influence. It’s a sad day for liberty.

Mitt Romney is a Wall Street insider who thinks we are spending far too little on War. He wants to confront Iran. He will throw your grandmother under the bus before cutting one dime from the War Budget.
How could someone with the exact opposite beliefs endorse him?

I’m seriously beginning to question whether the time and energy spent by RP supporters to capture the cancerous tumor that is the GOP would have been better expended in a third party such as the Libertarian Party ?
I think a lot of Paul supporters are feeling betrayed and as a result are extremely miffed.
If the Romney endorsement was cooked up to get the Paul delegates to roll-over and play dead in Tampa , then I’m not sure it will have the desired effect.
The Paul supporters who worked so hard and scarified their time,energy and money to become delegate might just adopt a scorched earth policy in Tampa and burn down the damn tent…can’t say I blame then if they do.

Ron Paul fans attack Rand for endorsing Romney
Fans of the “Ron Paul Revolution” were not happy with his son Sen. Rand Paul after he endorsed Mitt Romney last night on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Show.
Paul explained that although his “first choice was always my father,” he insisted that he had a lot in common with Romney, who signaled to him that he was serious about a number of government reforms.
But the backlash on Sen. Paul’s Facebook page was fierce as the vocal supporters of the Ron Paul Revolution, took to the comments section to denounce his son. As of this morning, over 2,000 comments were posted, a majority of them negative. Supporters blasted Rand Paul for “selling out” the legacy of his father to the “Republican establishment.”
A few fans approved of Rand Paul’s decision, but only 270 people “liked” his endorsement message.
Others even speculated that Rand Paul was threatened or bribed into supporting Romney, by the Bilderberg group, suggesting that it wasn’t a coincidence that his endorsement came after their conference.
Other angry fans even started a “Ron Paul Supporters Who Don’t Give A Sh*t Who Rand Endorses” Facebook page that now has 210 members.
Here is some examples of the backlash from Rand Paul’s Facebook page:
Eric Elledge: DISGUSTING. Right before Father’s Day too. What a piece of garbage Rand turned out to be. One & Done Senator!
Jason Sauer: you have lost my support for being a TRATOR to your father
Mario Jimenez: Something is definitely not right. I have a feeling Rand was strong-armed by someone pulling the strings. But this just ain’t right.
Mikey Indigo: Someone better have put a gun to your head, otherwise your father should disown you. Good luck sleeping at night knowing what you did to this country. I hope the price was worth it.
Richie Proffitt: I guess the 30 minute meeting with Mittens was actually a 12 hour lobotomy. Maybe the whole zombies thing is to get us to fall in line and vote status quo. Meh.
Matt Reibel: Notice that he made this announcement just a few days after the Bilderberg conference. The elite will stop at nothing to prevent liberty from reclaiming the White House and our government so I highly suspect the Bilderberg attendees did one of the following: 1) came up with an offer that Rand Paul could not refuse 2) they have some very serious dirt on Rand or someone close to him and threatened to release it if he didn’t endorse Romney and sell out
Mark Elmo Ellis: Matt!!! Excellent point!!! Comes right on the heels of that meeting, doesn’t it???
Sandi Begic: The Bilderberg group threatened Ron Pauls life, i think Rand did this to protect his father.
Richard Rogers: Romney stands for everything that Ron Paul fights to destroy. Rand”Benedict” Paul I guess this means you will be heading to the Bilderberg next year. Rand when you dance with the Devil you will get burned.

I’m not surprised at Rand. Political parties are tribal organizations, and they almost always close ranks for the general election campaign. But also true – Rand is rather a neocon on foreign policy. He ran as a war hawk/”tough on terrorism” candidate in the Kentucky US Senate primary which he won.
Very suspicious that Ron Paul effectively dropped out of the race just a few days after that breakfast with Bennie. And that the dropout happened just before the Texas and California primaries, where Paul would have done well. Some sort of deal has been made.
And I sure would like to know how much money is actually in the Ron Paul campaign account, which is pretty much his to spend later. I heard there was 5 million leftover after 2008 (but will need to dig around the FEC site to be sure).

The general cut off date for being a ‘boomer” varies from 1960 to 1964.
Rand Paul is not a “boomer” by Strauss and Howe dating but is according to the Consensus dept of many morons, Randal Paul was born in 1963.

Submitted by John Aziz of Azizonomics,
Rand Paul just endorsed a man who is deeply hostile to human liberty.
Perhaps that’s Rand’s idea of playing politics? Come to the table, strike a deal, get what you can. Trouble is, it’s tough striking a good deal when the guy on the other side of the table believes that the government should be allowed to claim — without having to produce any evidence whatsoever — that certain people are terrorists, and therefore should be detained indefinitely without any kind of due process.
That’s textbook tyranny.
Yes, I would have [signed the NDAA]. And I do believe that it is appropriate to have in our nation the capacity to detain people who are threats to this country, who are members of al Qaeda. Look, you have every right in this country to protest and to express your views on a wide range of issues but you don’t have a right to join a group that has killed Americans, and has declared war against America. That’s treason. In this country we have a right to take those people and put them in jail. If I were president I would not abuse this power. But people who join al Qaeda are not entitled to rights of due process under our normal legal code. They are entitled instead to be treated as enemy combatants.
Mitt Romney
Except, if the government had any evidence they were really members of al-Qaeda and engaged in a war against America they could be charged with offenses under current laws and tried in front of a jury of their peers. As was proven when Judge Katherine Forrest struck down the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA as unconstitutional, the real detention targets are people like the ones who brought the case — writers, investigative journalist and whistleblowers: people like Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Jennifer Bolen, and Birgitta Jonsdottir.
Rand Paul might have done some good work trying to filibuster the Patriot Act, but endorsing Mitt Romney goes beyond the pale. The NDAA is Romney’s most egregious transgression against liberty, but not far behind are his desire to start a war against Iran, to increase military spending, to start a trade war with China and his belief that corporations are people.
I know I will never agree with any politician on every single dimension of every single issue, and that to some extent politics will always involve compromise. Certainly, I disagree with Ron Paul on some issues. But Mitt Romney’s stances on these issues seem much, much, much closer to Barack Obama than they do to Ron Paul. In fact, he might as well have endorsed Obama for President.
And the Ron Paul supporters are noticing: Rand has probably burnt most bridges to his Father’s supporters now. His Facebook page has seen a huge outpouring of fury:
Just lost a lot of faith in a man I otherwise adored.
You suck Rand! Traitor!
That’s why this country is doomed! Even the person you trust is a sell-out. I’m done with politics, people deserve what they get. Let the country run itself to the ground, and still people will not understand what freedom and self-responsibility is about. People want big gov’t, big brother every step of the way. Well, they got it. The rest of us, might as well try to move to another country or find an island and move there.
I knew I’d never vote for Mitt… Now I know I’ll never vote for Rand.
He has fully sold out to the bankers
Endorsing Romney is tantamount to an utter sell-out of conservative principles.
Did George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison try to compromise with King George? Or — when it became obvious that they were facing tyranny — did they stand up for the principles of liberty?
I have always been uncomfortable with the children of politicians becoming politicians. Every anointed child feels like a step away from meritocracy. Dynasties are dangerous, because the dynasty itself comes to be more important than the qualities of the politicians. Who would Rand Paul be if he wasn’t Ron Paul’s son? Just another neocon. Neocons often have a few “unfashionable” libertarian or constitutionalist sympathies; look at Charles Krauthammer. But — unlike Ron Paul — the neocon never has the spine to do much about their libertarian or constitutionalist sympathies. They just ride on the establishment steamroller, into foreign occupations, empire building, corporate welfare, and banking bailouts. Into Iraq, and soon into Iran.
Rand Paul just got on the steamroller.

Critics were shocked to hear David McCullough tell a graduating class of high school seniors that they are “not special,” but the students and parents of Wellesley, Mass., school rallying around their favorite teacher.
Bucking the norm for such speeches, McCullough skipped the platitudes in favor of some blunt talk, telling the class of 2012 in the affluent Boston suburb last Friday that although they may have been “pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble-wrapped” by their parents, “none of you is special.”

The Whig party back in the 1800′s fractured (or was beaten depending on whom one asks) and gave way to the Republican Party. Perhaps its high time again to create another fracture and bring Libertarianism forward. I am so sick of the nanny-state-corporatist-facist shit we’ve become. When these assholes are wiping themselves with the Constitution daily it is enough to make me puke. And my whiskey is getting too expensive for me to puke. Fucks.
The Democrats are fracturing themselves also; you’re seeing Socialism/Marxism become more and more prevalent there. I did tell Rand today to “kiss my stink star”. Romney? Really? Ugh. SO much potential…and it just looks like he’s been schmoozed by the Machine.
The two parties are just about the same anymore and it’s time for something different.

Tonto-So you react the same way to issues and happenings as your father did?
Human nature is the same then /now ,forever .
I grew up in and around local/state politics/politicians and I can tell you that the GI generation absolute stole the state/county blind.
I could write a book on the back door deals,personal favors and character assassinations pulled of by the greatest.
All the extremely wealthy people I know got so via politics.
Like I said before the boomers do not have a lock on good or evil.It’s simply inherent of human nature.
Generational theory is a load of crap.Boomers just happened to be at the helm of the ship when it started taking on water, but it had hit the iceberg decades ago.
The is no hero generation coming to save you. The greatest didn’t save anyone. They merely burned down the competition’s manufacturing industry and we floursihed up until the time completion rebuilt .
We the boomer just happened to be the children of the genocidal arsonists and reaped the rewards , but I guess our major failure was in not burning down an entire continent for you.
Maybe you’ll get your chance to destroy the competition so your kids can ride a 50 year wave of prosperity, but regardless how many people you burn , it doesn’t make you a hero.
If you looking for a savior , look to God.

It wasn’t the Confederacy that exterminated millions of Indians…didn’t you know?

The change from militia to a standing army took place in the American West immediately upon the conclusion of the War Between the States. The result, write Anderson and McChesney, was that white settlers and railroad corporations were able to socialize the costs of stealing Indian lands by using violence supplied by the U.S. Army.
On their own, they were much more likely to negotiate peacefully. Thus, “raid” replaced “trade” in white–Indian relations. Congress even voted in 1871 not to ratify any more Indian treaties, effectively announcing that it no longer sought peaceful relations with the Plains Indians.
Anderson and McChesney do not consider why a standing army replaced militias in 1865, but the reason is not difficult to discern. One has only to read the official pronouncements of the soldiers and political figures who launched a campaign of extermination against the Plains Indians.
On June 27, 1865, General William Tecumseh Sherman was given command of the Military District of the Missouri, which was one of the five military divisions into which the U.S. government had divided the country.
Sherman received this command for the purpose of commencing the 25-year war against the Plains Indians, primarily as a form of veiled subsidy to the government-subsidized railroad corporations and other politically connected corporations involved in building the transcontinental railroads.
These corporations were the financial backbone of the Republican Party. Indeed, in June 1861, Abraham Lincoln, former legal counsel of the Illinois Central Railroad, called a special emergency session of Congress not to deal with the two-month-old Civil War, but to commence work on the Pacific Railway Act.
Subsidizing the transcontinental railroads was a primary (if not the primary) objective of the new Republican Party.
As Dee Brown writes in Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow, a history of the building of the transcontinental railroads, Lincoln’s 1862 Pacific Railway Act “assured the fortunes of a dynasty of American families . . . the Brewsters, Bushnells, Olcotts, Harkers, Harrisons, Trowbridges, Lanworthys, Reids, Ogdens, Bradfords, Noyeses, Brooks, Cornells, and dozens of others,” all of whom were tied to the Republican Party.
The federal railroad subsidies enriched many Republican members of Congress. Congressman Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania “received a block of [Union Pacific] stock in exchange for his vote” on the Pacific Railroad bill, writes Brown.
Republican Congressman Oakes Ames of Massachusetts was a shovel manufacturer who became “a loyal ally” of the legislation after he was promised shovel contracts. A great many shovels must have been required to dig railroad beds from Iowa to California.
Sherman wrote in his memoirs that as soon as the war ended, “My thoughts and feelings at once reverted to the construction of the great Pacific Railway. … I put myself in communication with the parties engaged in the work, visiting them in person, and assured them that I would afford them all possible assistance and encouragement.”
“We are not going to let a few thieving, ragged Indians check and stop the progress [of the railroads],” Sherman wrote to Ulysses S. Grant in 1867. [See Michael Fellman’s Citizen Sherman: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman.]

How Lincoln’s Army ‘Liberated’ the Indians

by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
Sherman’s theory of white racial superiority is what led him to the policy of waging war against the Indians “till the Indians are all killed or taken to a country where they can be watched.” As Fellman (p. 264) writes:
Sherman planted a racist tautology: Some Indians are thieving, killing rascals fit for death; all Indians look alike; therefore, to get some we must eliminate all . . . deduced from this racist tautology . . . the less destructive policy would be racial cleansing of the land . . .
Accordingly, Sherman wrote to Grant: “We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women and children.” Writing two days later to his brother John, General Sherman said: “I suppose the Sioux must be exterminated . . .” (Fellman, p. 264).
This was Sherman’s attitude toward Southerners during the War for Southern Independence as well. In a July 31, 1862 letter to his wife (from his Collected Works) he wrote that his purpose in the war was: “Extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least part of the trouble, but the [Southern] people.” His charming and nurturing wife Ellen wrote back that her fondest wish was for a war “of extermination and that all [Southerners] would be driven like the Swine into the sea.”
With this attitude, Sherman issued the following order to his troops at the beginning of the Indian Wars: “During an assault, the soldiers cannot pause to distinguish between male and female, or even discriminate as to age. As long as resistance is made, death must be meted out . . .” (Marszalek, p. 379).
Most of the raids on Indian camps were conducted in the winter, when families would be together and could therefore all be killed at once. Sherman gave Sheridan “authorization to slaughter as many women and children as well as men Sheridan or his subordinates felt was necessary when they attacked Indian villages” (Fellman, p. 271). All livestock was also killed so that any survivors would be more likely to starve to death.
Sherman was once brought before a congressional committee after federal Indian agents, who were supposed to be supervising the Indians who were on reservations, witnessed “the horror of women and children under military attack.” Nothing came of the hearings, however. Sherman ordered his subordinates to kill the Indians without restraint to achieve what he called “the final solution of the Indian problem,” and promised that if the newspapers found out about it he would “run interference against any complaints about atrocities back East” (Fellman, p. 271).
Eight years into his war of “extermination” Sherman was bursting with pride over his accomplishments. “I am charmed at the handsome conduct of our troops in the field,” he wrote Sheridan in 1874. “They go in with the relish that used to make our hearts glad in 1864-5″ (Fellman, p. 272).
Another part of Sherman’s “final solution” strategy against this “inferior race” was the massive slaughter of buffalo, a primary source of food for the Indians. If there were no longer any buffalo near where the railroad traveled, he reasoned, then the Indians would not go there either. By 1882 the American buffalo was essentially extinct.

RON Paul approved his son’s betrayal.
RON Paul has not made a statement about this act of treason even though his followers are livid.
Why? Because this was his decision.
RON Paul talks the talk but he is a coward.
Ever since fulfilling a six year committment with the US Army, the way I size men up is by asking this question:
Would I trust him with my life on the battlefield?
I would NOT trust RON Paul on the battlefield. He is a coward. And his son is a bigger coward.
I took my RON paul bumper sticker off my car.
RON Paul and RAND Paul should return the millions of dollars he took from those he betrayed.
