Warning: not for the squeamish, but absolutely essential if you want to understand what's behind the philosophy of the self-anointed "Real Americans" our allegedly liberal press can't get enough of.
Hat tip to Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon, who offers a pointed argument on why we should keep a close watch on the Pauls, their followers, and their cracked belief system here. Winning comment on the thread, courtesy of Rick Massimo:
Libertarians try to make it sound like they’re explaining some complicated philosophy that hasn’t been tried before (or, alternately, a very simple philosophy that you’re too dense to understand). But they’re not. We tried it their way. It didn’t work. You could look it up.

I don't think her support of a murderer would phase the teabaggers, but her atheism surely would, were it better known.
Uh... make that "faze".
It sure is surprising that the philosophy of assholery's leading light was a fucking maniac.
Not surprising to us, maybe, but when her philosophy is treated as part of the mainstream, it's good to keep reminding people of what it actually entails.
