Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) delivered his maiden speech on the Senate floor this morning, and it’s safe to say that his remarks will be discussed at far greater length than, say, those of Sen. Roy Blunt (R., Mo.), who delivered his first floor speech last night......

This is a head scratcher:



Then, as if to intentionally provoke MSNBC, Rachel Maddow et al., Paul went on to equate the issue of slavery to the current debt crisis:




Today we have no issues that approach moral equivalency with the issue of slavery. Yet we do face a fiscal nightmare and potentially a debt crisis.


Seems to me he went out of his way to NOT equate them. No?

The debt-bomb is ticking. We'll all be slaves soon, if we're not careful.
