Is Rand Paul so far right that, like Pat Buchanan back when, he comes all the way around the back to the left? Are Paul’s maverick stances just a marketing program to draw attention to himself, in preparation for 2016? Or is his brand of libertarianism genuine? Whatever the motivation, Paul has become the most, perhaps the only, establishment political figure expressing a progressive vision on a host of incredibly important issues — issues that have been abandoned by the state-sanctioned Left.

Paul, a right-wing Republican who believes Israel can do no wrong, is nevertheless the establishment’s most passionate defender of privacy rights.

This right/left bs is complete nonsense. To me, most of the politicians in DC are HARD RIGHT authoritarian fascists.

Some are moderate/middle leaning a bit left. Rand would be a middle left, Cruz/Lee middle right.

Feinstein, Schumer, Lieberman, McCain, Reid, Graham, Durbin, Blumenthal, Boxer, Corker, Franken, Klobuchar, Menendez, Sanders, Thune etc are all HARD RIGHT authoritarian fascists.
