Rand Paul is a Heartless Wooden Man!

[AuH20]

Read these comments. LIBRULS are not only dangerous to themselves, but to the entire society as well. At some point, an adult has to emerge from the group of sycophants and defiantly say "NO." That's leadership.

They have no interest in facts. It's all emotion.

How does anyone argue with someone like this? I'd simply walk away in disbelief......:

every time he opens his mouth he offers yet more proof that he is a complete and total a**hole with zero understanding of our founding principles and our constitution and no understanding at all of how real people live their real lives.

what part of "promote the general welfare" does rand paul not understand?

he seems to think ayn rand's books are blueprints for running a country. Those books are just fiction mr. Paul. And really poorly written fiction at that.

 

[angelatc]

What part of "when you subsidize something, you get more of it!" do the liberals not understand?

 

[TheDriver]

How many years will the left pay unemployed workers (already pushing 2)? How much will we borrow from China to finance it?

 

[Young Paleocon]

He most certainly is not a wooden man.....He's a real boy!!!!

I hate registering.. I made a really good comment though, maybe someone would like to post it?

"Or Rand himself, who has received about $32,615 a year over the last four years for his participation (as a doctor) in the Medicaid program and an unknown amount from Medicare."

Oh my GOD!! Rand provided healthcare to poor people? What a monster!!


Everybody here who is saying that companies need to start hiring first doesn't understand basic economics. A company won't hire someone unless they can turn a profit for them. If you offer a lower wage, then you can more easily turn a profit based on your skill set.

Rand is absolutely correct that the government is hindering any sort of economic recovery by extending these benefits. Of course the root of the problem is our monetary system, but if there is anybody who understands that it is Rand Paul.

If our current welfare state is what the founding fathers envisioned, why did it take over 100 years to get enacted?

That is what you tell an idiot like that!

promote != provide

Most people didn't read past the headline, nor actually put some thought into his position before they left their idiotic comments.

What part of the distinction between 'promote' and 'provide for' don't THEY understand?

It isn't the issue of "promote vs provide" it is the meaning of the term "welfare". The clause means tax to pay for the excercising of the enumerated powers under articel 1 section 8. Such as the patent office and the roads are the general welfare as well as the post office (not that we can't use free market to run the mailing industry).

What part of "we cannot maintain a 14 trillion dollar national debt" do they not understand? These emotionally driven folks want us to extend unemployment until the government crashes and burns. I won't lie that I have a hidden motive to fulfill their wishes, then again, they'll be the first ones to complain when it occurs.

Actually, it is the fact of a list which in those days was more often considered exclusive than expansive in interpretations, even without the 9th and 10th amendments, which should have ended any question......

 

[ninepointfive]

"What part of promote do you not understand?!" Provide and Promote ---> two different words!!

I've encountered this same argument from a librul before. Really quite sickening how utterly shameless and ignorant these people are.

 

[devil21]

promote != provide

Not even that. That general welfare clause is regarding services that benefit every last American citizen, such as border security. Never-ending UE benefits only benefits two groups. Unemployed people and the politicians that use it as a campaign platform. The rest just get to pay for it.

(eta: dude above nailed it first)

I'm infuriated by the stupidity and pettiness of the people commenting.

How does anyone argue with someone like this? I'd simply walk away in disbelief......:

The fringe right thinks "right to life" means a mandatory ban on all abortions in the country and the fringe left thinks "promote the general welfare" means government is required to provide universal healthcare and social security. It's ridiculous.

Anyway, no one cares about some lefty blogs pimping an issue that only they care about. They're out of touch.

His words:

"As bad as it sounds, ultimately we do have to sometimes accept a wage that's less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work and allow the economy to get started again," Paul explained. "Nobody likes that, but it may be one of the tough love things that has to happen."

This is no different than anything people have said in the past. This is common sense!

But no...the headline must be dramatic and sensationalist.

I'll be donating more on the 28th.
