  20. I really like Rand Paul but sometimes he simply doesn't understand reality versus ideology. His principles are correct but he's applying the wrong ones to the debate. He actually doesn't understands certain national security issues. For example his rant against Saudi Arabia was pathetic. Saudi Arabi has been a strong ally. Now you look at their "royal family" ant it's involvement in terrorism this is to fail to understand how big the royal family is because I guess nobody ever thought about how many wives, sons, grandsons and so forth Ibn Saud had. And if a Saudi "journalist" with a US Green Card gets killed in Turkey is it really a national security issue for the USA? We're going to cut them out of the F35 program over that? Rand Paul gets most things right but I would not want him to be President for that reason. He gets it mostly right but then falls in love with all of his own principles. He gets too certain about things that he doesn't grasp well enough. His attacks of Fauci were golden. We need more like that. But Rand Paul's foreign policy is naive. Here he says it's about censorship with the entire "special pleading" against TikTok is that not only is it doing all the things we don't like tech companies to do in China but it is also owned by China and its entire operation is mirrored (the data) in China. If China wants to ask Google for data on "national security grounds" but it's stored in the USA then China must hack it or pressure them. If the data is stored in China they don't even have to ask, obviously. Because every eye and hand on the infrastructure knows they must comply with CCP orders. Period. I don't know how any one in DC can fail to understand this. There are no enforceable rights or duties the CCP promises to anyone or anything. Everyone knows they do what they want whereover they have the power to do so. If they have sovereign control over mainland China so you think there is any difference between TikTok data stores and the CCP equivalent of our NSA? No. There is none.

  43.  @rkeith4442  There's the quiet Constitutionalist struggle to promote just the right kind of lawsuit while waiting for a SCOTUS ruling that prunes back their illicit powers and there's the "get Congress to fix it" approach led primarily by Ted Cruz. A Constitutional Amendment can fix it without triggering the Leftists (because they don't get it) and all three basic channels should be supported. You have to understand the root of this evil and that is FDR's New Deal legislation coupled with his "War on SCOTUS" that academics claim FDR lost but the goal was not "court backing" but scaring the holdouts in to allowing all of that dodgy New Deal legislation. All of those bad rulings coupled with the Administrative Procedures Act came together just as FDR died and Truman realized that Stalin set us up for a Soviet-dominated Europe. And then the Korean War. People didn't take the time to look back at all of that bullshit to figure out how to "right size the government" because they were terrified about fighting nuclear age Communists in Russia, China, Korea and then other satellites. Even Reagan did not feel he could do anything big while still trying to outmaneuver the Soviet Union. By the time Bill Clinton came along he just wanted to ride the wave of power and use it to set up a rival command economy and trade with the "former Communists" (that still act like Communists). So that's basically where we are. It became the status quo and by the time we could even start discussing what to do next Bush launched this Manichean "War on Terror" so downsizing the bureaucracies was out of the question. Instead we get the Homeland Security Act and it all became exponentially more dangerous. Then we got Biden and Obama. And here we are again. Now you can begin to understand why they hate Ted Cruz as much as they hate Trump.
