Also Jet, Rand Paul isnt what your thinking apparently. His work with Pat Leahy (D-VT) on sentencing reform is anything but racist. As an eye surgeon by trade, I doubt he disbelieves in science.

It might also benefit some people to recall that just a few short years ago, the political world was convinced that Red America was the future. We all know how that ended up. Dont think for a second that after all the massive abuses, wealth transfer, and yes Obamacare.. that there isnt a big blowback coming down the pike.
