Eugene. This is not a sentence.

"Did anyone imagine the Republican Party could possibly field a candidate who Republican Chairman Michael Steele wouldn't have been eligible to move into my neighborhood, either, if Paul's view had prevailed. "

Is there an actual live human at truthout who reads articles before they are posted to check the facts and grammar? Seems to me like they just hit the trusty F7 key and let spell check take care of it!

In regards to Rand Paul, though, who cares what he thinks about the civil rights act? Here is a chance to elect someone to the Senate who is against the drug war, which is hurting black people a lot more than Jim Crow ever did. Go read Michelle Alexander's book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness". He also wants to drastically cut military spending, end US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and limit the power that multinational corporations hold over our politicians.

Basically the Tea Party is trying to elect someone who holds positions that Democrats have run on for years and were never able to get elected with, but the liberals are too busy looking a gift horse in the mouth to notice.

It seems to me like the establishment is showing that they don't care so much about issues, but they want to make sure they are in control of who is elected and who isn't.

Either that or, to paraphrase Mark Twain, I wonder if the Democrat party is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or imbeciles who mean it!

The problem I see with Rand Paul is that he wants to live in a utopian Free Enterprise system that our economy has not had in decades, and never will again.

A realist would never had said what Rand Paul said about the Civil Rights Act, and RP should be called on it. But, of course, he has never felt the institutional racism that so many others dealt with before the Civil Rights Act was law, nor would he, given his skin color, gender, and relatively privileged upbringing.

T-P...might want to think about a name change for their party. Wiping up a lot of poop lately. Of course, GOP is becoming more apt when you see the expressions on the faces of the real Republicans every time Paul opens his mouth for a juicy sound bite. DEM! But that boy's good!

I CARE IF HE IS AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

Who cares what else he is on my side against or for? Bush had my views on immigration, but I despise him and his ilk. Mussalini had the trains running on time.

I also am puzzled by more educated people supposedly being tea bagger's strength. Well, Sarah Palin is a college grad, right? And she has no command over syntax, logic, English, snse. That Boomers are mostly right-leaning galls em as a boomer but recalling the Me Decade and Yuppies, it isn''t surprising. A large portion of protestors in 60s were in it for frisbee and girls, a little revealed truth

Gene, Booby, what's your beef? You don't understand why you let yourself get so far behind that Rand Paul just isn't making sense to you? Get a grip.

This incessant trying to stuff a square peg in a round hole is only going to frustrate you, so until you "get it", do us all a favor and relinquish the soap crate you've been proselytizing from. Did you actually bother to listen to or read the speech that Rand Paul had made, or were you so irate after another hour of fist-pounding with Rush and Glenn that any message other than what you wanted to hear just couldn't past all that impacted ear wax?

And here I thought that people who submitted articles were actually required to have some measure of journalism skills.

The North American Union is VERY real, and there is tons of evidence to prove it. People were starting to wake up to it and saying, "Hell no(!)", so it may have been somewhat put on the back burner for now or become more stealthy, but obviously Robinson, et al., you haven't even looked at the strong evidence that the North American Union is being created in preparation for the U.S. completely abandoning our liberty lifeline and our only protection from absolute tyranny and despotism, the U.S. Constitution, abandoning entirely the sovereignty of the U.S., and folding us into world government.

Can you spell "E.U.", anybody? If it could happen in Europe, it can happen here, and the globalists have come right out in our faces and said this is what they're up, creating the "New World Order (NWO)", which is code for one-world government. The Rockefellers, Kissinger, the Bushs, Obama, etc., are all chomping at the bit to finalize world government that has been their plan all along, for a long, long time. They ain't foolin' around, they aren't just talking, and they mean business; and they have already setup much of world government right underneath our noses for decades. Can anybody spell "U.N."?

The NWO and world government aren't a myth or a "conspiracy theory", and neither is the North American Union. They are conspiracy FACTS. Look into our "public" highways being sold off to foreign corporations, particularly one out of Spain. This is NO joke. These things are going on, and without much outward U.S. government involvement except for the leaders of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico meeting to celebrate joining together. But the designed hell is breaking loose over our mostly porous border with Mexico, so the Obamatron is presently putting on a show of policing it with National Guard for now...

Thank you, S. Wolf Britain, for not using the word "amero" in your diatribe about the North American Union conspiracy theory. If you had, I would have had to stop taking anything you say seriously ever again. As it is, I simply choose freely to do so.

And, if you read what I('ve) said carefully, Austin, I make abundantly clear that the NWO is anti-human, not just anti-American. As I've said, it is to enslave and tyrannize the entire world, not just the United States of America.

Now, I really don't care if you decide not to take anything I say seriously ever again, except that it will of course make me feel very sorry for you because you choose to live in denial and to bury your head in the sand like a good ostrich.

The Amero is part of the North American Union plan, but you are of course free to seek to discredit that which you know nothing of the truth about, and expect people to listen to you about it just because you say so. Most people do listen to such people, to their demise.

I, on the other hand, hope that people don't take my word for ANYTHING, and that they look into what I share, hopefully not just listening to that which supposedly debunks the truth; but, of course, really doesn't. The problem is, most people won't do that.

Anyway, believe what you want at your own peril, don't wake up to what's really going on, don't fulfill your responsibility(ies) and duty(ies) to stand up against it, and you will be complicit, have the blood of countless people on your hands, and will be held completely accountable for it all relatively soon.
