Time to address the Rand Paul Issue!

I find him to be as frightening in some case more frightening than Donald Trump...

This guy is smart, calculating, and is heartless...

Its time to address Libertarian Doctrine..

There are a lot o people especially youner ones in our country who like the idea of...what Rand Paul is touting

Think this link.....Urban Definition of a Libertarian is a good start


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Libertarian



This is an example of what he’s doing at this moment..

If you are a libertarian today you support the Koch billionaire agenda, which means you wish to harm 90% of Americans, many of whom work hard but make less than $100k/year.

I liked his from the definition

4. You believe that the wealthy and successful built their success from literally nothing, with no help from taxpayer-funded infrastructure, police, firemen, schools, military protection, investment in science, etc., and so by this logic taxes are a form of "stealing".

5. You would prefer that citizens be controlled and dominated by large corporations over which they have no control than a single government over which they have at least some control.

6. You believe that profit motives can in no way conflict with the public good. For example, you believe that privately run prisons with a profit motive will naturally focus on rehabilitation and minimizing recidivism, because they totally want to reduce the prison population for some reason.
