Think Rand Paul is an intellectual lightweight?

Guys... I'm not perfect. I did something very wrong, and for once, I actually deserved a ban for what I did. That I did it does not make it OK. You should know, however, that it was more an "I'm ticked at you" post than actually serious.

"Putting the past behind, and running the race with perseverance.." move along.

It's kind of hard to move along, when, you know, you haven't given us any sort of indication that you yourself have.

OK fair enough. I don't 100% agree though, Thomas Jefferson came pretty darn close, at least for his day, as would the US constitution if we actually followed it.

Does that really make sense? The US Constitution is a very general body of law, more the framework in which government is conducted, rather than a guide to government in and of itself. Past a certain point it has very limited implications for concrete government policy.
