Rand Paul was worried. He knew what he was doing was illegal. What if the press found out? Isn't that what brought down Nixon? Dad wouldn't like this, he thought, dad wouldn't like this at all. Dad has integrity. That man sticks to his principles no matter what. But what did that get him? A lousy seat in Congress? A couple percentage points in the primaries? Sure, he had a bully pulpit on the internet. But what real change could he make? And the stakes are so high now, our entire country hangs in the balance. Rand knew that if he couldn't return the U.S. to the gold standard, all would be lost. And time was running out. This isn't the time for integrity, this is the time for action. He knew what he had to do. Rand Paul picked up the phone and dialed. There was no turning back now. Rand paused for a moment, then spoke. MichaelJR, I need you to infiltrate Swellinfo.
Amen sister. Red blooded libertarian-socialist-capitalist here. I have a bizarre ideology--- that everyone has inalienable rights to do and speak as they wish, to earn a living as they wish, yet they are provided a massive safety net for healthcare and retirement, probably paid for by 1/16th of the overall military budget, that wouldn't be necessary if we weren't a target, which would be achieved by not harboring the neo-liberal corporate criminals.... and all freeloading and taking advantage of the system is offset by a massive investment in education for the next generation. That's my dream. But the folks who run the show have done a great job of dividing talking points and interests groups along the 50/50 split to keep the elected officials impotent. Well played 1%. A Conversation America Had With Itself: "Socialism will never work." "What about Scandanavian countries where the quality of living is great and the economies seem to be doing well?" "It failed them." "How and why?" "Look...... there are too many lazy minorities in America, and I am a spoiled racist caucasian scared of change, scared to look at the possibility that anyone other than an American is capable of having a standard of living higher than my own. I don't understand a lot of things, but I am empowered by talk radio and commentary-news and I run with it. Cultural machismo dictates that I have to profess to have it figured out. Its my prerogative." "Um...?" "Its how I sleep at night. Its how I dont kill myself. My cock is extremely small." "I'm sorry." "Don't apologize. Apologies are a sign of weakness. Traitor."
It's all crap. Pre-ordained crap that is fed to the American sheeple. We're all bought & paid for, and we're all functioning under the illusion of choice. As George said, to paraphrase, you have no choice; when it comes to political parties there are two & they are the same. You have more choice at a bagel shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtDJ6Ay4QMw
