Rand Paul Wins Kentucky Senate Primary And Wants A Word With Us

Roger Kimball At Pajamas: Join the We're Not Europe Party aka The Adult Party

WE'VE COME TO TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT.

THE FEDERAL BUDGET IS NOT AN ATM MACHINE FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS.

For tonight, nuff said. Except maybe congratulations to Paul and the emboldened Tea Party movement!

Meanwhile, anyone seen Blanche or Arlen?

"The trouble with Dr. Paul is that despite his independent thinking, much of what he stands for is repulsive to people in the mainstream. For instance, he holds an unacceptable view of civil rights, saying that while the federal government can enforce integration of government jobs and facilities, private business people should be able to decide whether they want to serve black people, or gays, or any other minority group."

I listened to all hour and six minutes of the Rand Paul interview with the Courier-Journal and NPR last night, and as always, you and your ilk have completely taken what Paul said out of context.

But in my opinion, what he says is correct. We all personally have the right to privately censor and discriminate in our daily lives. If I talked about, and judged and insulted you the way do me and conservatives here, you would try to have me arrested.

You want the thought police for me but not thee. So far this is still a free coutry with a battered First Amendment. That guarantees that you and I will be offened by others thoughts, words, deeds and choices at times. It's called real life and being an adult.
