Ron and Rand Paul talk a good game but "what have they done for me lately" as Janet Jackson The Queen of Hip Hop would put it.

I don't recall who once said (not Ron Paul) something to the effect of, "No nation is so wealthy it can afford a civilization and a perpetual state of war". This issue of the cost of our American Empire isn't even considered by many, but it should be.

Rand Paul never said any such thing. I would like to see the quote of his in the context you are stating.

When Janet Jackson becomes a Congress woman or a US Senator, I'll give two flips what passes through her lips. But hey, why not interject hip hop pop stars into politics, after all, its about the personalities anymore, right.

Swing in a miss as far a being a corprorate shill.

Thanks for sharing.

No problem. See if you can sift through this thick smokescreen of obfuscation:

Are you not familiar with obfuscation?

Anti-Discrimination policy is not about restricting free speech: it's about exploiting a power imbalance between the world of commerce and the individual who can easily fall under the iron fist of oppression and subjugation.

I have to give you credit for proving me to be an overly hopeful fool.

I temporarily removed you from my ignore list thinking I had been too harsh in judging the worth of many of your previous posts.

You've shown me the error of my ways. You have often bemoaned the unfairness of what you perceive as racism yet you seem fine with casting aspersions based on your twisted perceptions of sexual identity. I have no use for hypocrites.

Bye bye.
