Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, has just won a Senate race in Kentucky. In his victory speech he aligned himself with the Tea Party and uttered "We’re here to take our government back". Without knowing much else about what he means by that, I’ll leave it to your interpretation. It’s not nearly as disturbing as what he’s being grilled about here on the Rachel Maddow show. He’s made statements recently that he had problems with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Not a lot of problems, but one very important one that he continually dodges here with Rachel. It seems he’s not so sure that government has a place to step in and tell private businesses that they aren’t allowed to discriminate. You know, because Americans are so, you know, "rational".
