Why Ron Paul is > Rand Paul (and the Daily Beast is a Rag)
Thursday, September 25, 2014 16:05
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
So I take it Rand Paul opposes arming the Syrian opposition, but supports US air strikes against ISIS. Fortunately, his libertarian fans see through his blatant difference splitting and are not happy about it. The linked article describes Rand’s weaseling but otherwise is a typical Daily Beast snarkfest.
On Thursday afternoon, Paul took the Senate floor to deliver an impassioned speech outlining his opposition to arming Syrian rebels as the U.S. fights ISIS. That part of Paul’s foreign-policy platform, his liberty-loving fans have no issue with. It is the other part—where Paul is openly supporting airstrikes in Syria and Iraq—that is causing some of them, at least those dedicated enough to the movement to attend LPAC, to stare at him squinty-eyed.
“Squinty-eyed?” Get it? That’s the author’s way of communicating disdain. Where did she go to journalism school, Patsy’s Playland?
