Congratz to Rand on attempting to court the “sovereign citizen” vote!

What does Rand say about this meeting?

welfare queen self-certifies himself as property rights lawyer and lectures RandBoy…

So when is the government going to seize this guy’s bank accounts to pay his delinquent grazing fees?

anniew · June 30, 2015, 7:39pm

That’s what I’m thinking. I’m not a Rand fan (understatement) but ti sounds like Cliven made a point of meeting him/lecturing him not the other way around.

“I don’t think he really understands how land rights really work in the western United States,” the rancher told Politico. “I was happy to be able to sort of teach him.”

In return, Rand certified Bundy as an opthalmologist.

So, who taught to whom about race in America?

Did the totally-not-racist-just-a-bold-truth-teller Bundy instruct the totally-not-racist-just-like-my-dad-was-totally-not-racist Rand, or vice versa?

Can just anybody meet with Rand Paul? Because I have a few things I’d like to educate him on.

mymy · June 30, 2015, 7:57pm

Can the IRS actually seize bank accounts? I know California can freeze accounts, but seizing? Does anyone know the law on this?

mymy · June 30, 2015, 7:58pm

So ‘libertarian’ means ‘I’m entitled to anything I want.’

Enough of that crapola. Time to tell Rand Paul we are a nation of laws.

And I’m sure it was a bunch of faux tough-guy talk about “da gat dang gubbamint” and nothing of any legitimate substance. Why isn’t Bundy locked up yet?

anniew · June 30, 2015, 8:08pm

BTW, I now see I was wrong since it was a 45 minute sit down. I thought Rand was an idiot. Now I think he’s a Trump level idiot.

I tend to think that there is how he wants land right/usage to be and there is how it is. Just because there is the world he wants does not make it reality. He could want the state to be totally separate from everything. Does not make it right or legal. How this guy is not in jail is still boggling.

If this were some random liberal guy I bet conservatives would be all about locking him away for good for all he owes.

The problem for Paul is that the Sovereign Psycho Citizens of America (Not to be confused with the S.P.C.A.) don’t recognize the illegal government of occupation in Washington.

phillydave · June 30, 2015, 8:29pm

Ha, love it! Blind certifying the blind.

Damn, the Feds missed the perfect opportunity for a drone strike.

“I don’t think he really understands how land rights really work in the western United States,” the rancher told Politico. “I was happy to be able to sort of teach him.”

Oh, Dog! That’s the equivalent of Ma Duggar teaching a bunch of adolescents proper sex education.

And no one got hit with the Irony Stick?

It’s like the GOP writes it own jokes…
