    Bill Maher: "What I love about the Pauls"

    via Politico:

    Liberal comic Bill Maher praised Sen. Rand Paul following his straw poll victory at CPAC, saying the Kentucky Republican could give Hillary Clinton "a run for her money," if both run in 2016.

    Maher, during his HBO program "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, said that while most of the Republican lawmakers at CPAC called for action in Crimea, Paul is "the one guy who says quite the opposite, like his father, he is for not for having an American empire. That's the thing I love about the Pauls."


    Agreeing with Maher, blogger Andrew Sullivan commended the ability that Paul, who won over 30 percent of the CPAC straw poll vote last week, has in delivering his message.

    "I think Rand Paul's attempt to say what most people in this country really understand, which is we don't need to run the world. We don't want to run the world. America would be in a better place if we were less interested in our own power, and more interested in freedom," Sullivan said.


    "He could give Hillary a run for her money," Maher added.


    Author Salman Rushdie said if the two ran against each other, Paul could attract the "youth wing of the GOP" comparing it to the appeal President Barack Obama had during his 2008 campaign.


    "If he can break into that, then he's got a chance," Rushdie said.

    Sullivan echoed Rushdie, adding if Clinton were to run against Paul, "She'll come off like a neocon, because in fact, she is a bit of a neocon."


    Author Amy Chua said Paul is "so independent-minded," which attracts a lot of support.


    "I think, Hillary Clinton, you feel like it's just going to fit into certain familiar things," Chua said. "And he's just a little unpredictable, you know, he doesn't care what people think and that's appealing to a lot of people."
    Freedom is sexy.
    "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."

    Rand Paul encouraged Ukrainian teenagers to commit terrorist acts on Russian oil pipelines recently. Russia would have seen that too. He is a fraud like his father.

    And the Maher guy is a terrible person and a jerk. A capitalist propagandist that has a huge interest in maintaining the American Empire that is currently falling away.

    Hillary Clinton is pure evil. China hate Hillary Clinton more than any other American.

    USA will need to do better than Rand Paul. And USA needs to be genuine instead of trying to fool people.

    Maher, during his HBO program "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, said that while most of the Republican lawmakers at CPAC called for action in Crimea, Paul is "the one guy who says quite the opposite, like his father, he is for not for having an American empire. That's the thing I love about the Pauls."
    What exactly does that mean? Anything short of true deAmericanization is not enough. USA needs to give up the Reserve Status and stop printing money.

    "I think Rand Paul's attempt to say what most people in this country really understand, which is we don't need to run the world. We don't want to run the world. America would be in a better place if we were less interested in our own power, and more interested in freedom," Sullivan said.
    How will USA function without the reserve Status? To maintain the Reserve Status USA must continue to control the world. This is why the CIA overhtrew the government of Ukraine and why Rand Paul is encouraging terrorism.

    A bunch of liars. They are not fooling many.

    Why would Rand Paul encourage terrorism in the Ukraine if he is not interested in Empire? Freedom? Yeah right.

    And he sued Obama did he? (: America is becoming ridiculous.

    These people must believe the public to be beyond stupid. Do they seem fooled in Crimea? They dont to me.

    # Rand Paul encouraged terrorism in the Ukraine. He breaks character a heap. He is a clown.

    Russia will remember that Rand Paul encouraged terrorism in the Ukraine. China will remember that Rand Paul encouraged terrorism in the Ukraine.

    And so will I. Why is Rand Paul encouraging teenagers in the Ukraine to commit terrorist acts? Freedom?

    Rand Paul encouraged terrorism in the Ukraine.

    edit- And Rand Paul is sexy? He looks like a weasel to me. A limp wristed weasel. No wonder maher likes him so much. They are very similar.

    Rand Paul encouraged terrorism in the Ukraine. We all saw it. As if Russia and China are not watching him. The clown should not be encouraging terrorism in other nations. He is a fraud.


    edit- Can you imagine what US media would say if a Russian politician encouraged teenagers in the US to commit terrorist acts for any reason?

    Its not cool. Yeah whatever, you are America and you go on about 'freedom' but does that give Americans the right to encourage a Ukrainian teen to commit a terrorist act? Of course not. USA is not special. And if Russia put sanctions on USA, and its coming, and it wont just be Russia, it will be China and god knows who else, then will USA encourage terrorism? Why does USA think they can get away with this stuff? Who does Rand Paul think he is?

    Did Cuba send or encourage terrorists in USA for sanctions? Did North Korea? No. USA is ridiculous. Did Iran? No. And USA has no moral high ground at all. USA can no longer get away with this stuff.

    Crimea. USA should think about what has happened and just stop. Its clear USA knows what needs to be done but still thinks it can fool everyone. The informal empire is on its last legs. USA should be preparing for a huge reduction in wealth and power. For the end of Empire. It is near.

    First I am gong to need a link to Mr. Paul's encouraging terrorism in Ukraine? I think that might be bull $#@!

    Second, Russia and China will love Mr. Paul, because he is an isolationist, the thing I really don't like about him.

    Now China might have an issue because of this as he might just level the playing field on imports from China, causing the economy in China to collapse, and likely civil war.

    As for you, china and Russia remembering that he encouraged terrorism? SO? actually you and China have just about the same ability to do anything about it? which is nothing! Russia will make lots of noise but they really don't want that missile defense shield going up on there boarders, or the USA providing Nuc technology to what is left of the Ukraine or Poland.

    So they are not going to say $#@! either!

    Rand Paul is a non-interventionist, not an isolationist.

    A play on words to me, don't get me wrong, I think he would be a good President, unfortunately, he might be the President that leads to the next real world conflict. however truth be told it might be just what the world needs!

    The prospect of an apocalyptic world conflict has been virtually negated by free trade and diplomatic initiatives.

    It's not a play on words, non-interventionism and isolationism are two completely different philosophies. Both the dictionary and the encyclopedia confirm this.

    That is what they said after WWI, but when expansion is sought by a country and the persons leading that country have no regard for others or boarders they tend to gather allies, and make enemies. And that sets up conflict


    It is estimated that if there were to be another real global conflict that the world would loos about a third of it's population" and that might not be such a bas thing in the long run!

    The projections made prior to WWI were premature. Put simply, people were yet to be exposed to conflict on as catastrophic a scale as was witnessed in the 20th Century. Europe was a melting pot of ethnic and ideological tensions set to explode. The Internet and globalized capitalism hadn't emerged to string together a coherent world narrative. Things are radically different now.
