Rand Paul compares not getting his way to Jim Crow and internment camps

by Hunter

You've got to at least admit these Republicans are consistent. If they win elections they should be able to dictate how the country is run, and if they lose elections they should also be able to dictate how the country is run, and if you don't like them dictating how the country is run it's just like Jim Crow and Japanese-American interment camps and—wait, what?

Speaking on Fox News, (Rand Paul) reacted to Obama's repeated assertions that Republicans should win elections if they want to control the agenda in Washington. Obama has also suggested in recent days that he might pursue more executive actions -- changes made without Congress.

"The danger to majority rule -- to him sort of thinking, well, the majority voted for me, now I'm the majority, I can do whatever I want, and that there are no rules that restrain me -- that's what gave us Jim Crow," Paul said. "That's what gave us the internment of the Japanese -- that the majority said you don't have individual rights, and individual rights don't come from your creator, and they’re not guaranteed by the Constitution. It’s just whatever the majority wants."

Jeebus, Rand. I can't even begin to unpack that.

1. Of course

Of course Rand Paul believes that - it's their plan. . . I'm 40. In 20 years we will have right wing wingnuts running around America who believe in their heart of heart that there was a Black Citizens Council that enacted Jim Crow on white Americans.

I'm not kidding. You repeat these lies long enough they become truth.

They FEED off of people feeling weak, unempowered and being professional victims.

He just played the Victim Card - Again.

2. Using executive action to change something FOR THE BETTER is

Just the type of tyranny I can get used to.

5. It's TYRANNY to use the govt as a force of good for the American people.

And it's fair to compare it to the tyranny of Nazism, Jim Crow laws, and the Bush regime.



I swear these morons don't realize that words have meaning, actual meaning, with definitions.

4. He's right, in part.

We have daily proof that only some members of one party are aligned with our interests. The majority of Congress are stomping on our jobs, our health, our wealth and our security.

Here Paul is just being a good partisan hack, but however inadvertently, he's speaking truth.

6. No,

"He's right, in part. We have daily proof that only some members of one party are aligned with our interests. The majority of Congress are stomping on our jobs, our health, our wealth and our security."

...he can't be "right, in part" when he makes no fucking sense.

He also belong the the other party, which as a group are not "aligned with our interests."

Fuck Paul and the squirrel on his head.
