To Rand Paul: Get Serious or Get Out

Important Public Service Announcement: Missing: One Senator from Kentucky, answering to the name of Rand Paul. Hair type: curly. Political beliefs: Right of Center. Last seen: over a month ago. Will the finder please wake the gentleman up and remind him he is running for president? Just a couple of months ago, Rand Paul was on the senate floor, filibustering while the nation watched, he shouted out “are we just supposed to sit back and take it? Well I’m not going to take it anymore!” For days Paul, who was named last the year by Time “The Most interesting man in Politics” was in the headlines, raising money off the momentum from his speeches, driving the national conversation, and as an added bonus, stopping the government’s collection of bulk data…for a couple of days before it was basically reinstituted under another name.

And it really seemed that we were moving towards rights for all. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act was passed, reaffirming the principles in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal. But just less than a decade after t...

Why Donald Trump is still alive

Donald Trump and FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly, about whom Trump has been saying some things, which, if  taken to mean the thing some people say they do, would be further proof, (if any were needed) Trump is completely unfit to be president of the United States of America.   Los Angeles, CA - There is a reason Donald Trump is still alive politically. It is no secret that many rightwing conservatives do not like, or sometimes even trust the mainstream media’s content. Earlier this year, at CPAC, Chris Christie, a catholic, evoked wild applause from the audience when he said , while trying to decide what to drop for lent he told his priest that he was going  stop reading The New York Times , bu t the holy father told him he’d have to give up something he’d actually miss. Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, and Ben Carson, all of whose campaign updates I receive, do not quote polls from conventional sources such as RealClearPolitics, FiveThirtyEight, NBC, etc. Instead these candidates, ...
