Rand Paul is pretty much a chip off the old block. He's following his dad's position on most things, including opposition to abortion rights and wanting to get rid of the Civil Rights Act.
Imo the two Pauls nicely illustrate the bankruptcy of right-wing 'libertarianism'. They support fredom of speech, and full marks for that. But beyond freedom of speech, they have an extremely narrow view of what 'freedom' and 'rights' are. Basically, what they're interested in is economic freedom for corporations to do what the fuck they please to ordinary citizens. Fucking over ordinary citizens in a completely unconstrained and comprehensive manner is, it turns out, a fundamental right. The right of women to freely control what happens to their own bodies is, by way of contrast, not a right at all. Ditto the right of black people to be able to compete as equals in the employment market.
Its disgusting.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
