Rand's presidential announcement is being heard around the world! This was on the front page of China Daily, which automatically loads every time you log into QQ, the Chinese version of Facebook, so he is getting some press in Asia!

Why? Crap.

Try changing your own spark-plugs.

I attempted to change six spark-plugs tonight on a 2000 + car tonight, and it did not happen.

For three hours, both myself and my brother wrung, twisted bent and even destroyed not-essential crap to get another non-essential piece of crap out of our way in order to remove one single bolt: the one non-essential bolt that stood in our way to three of the plugs. Now I have to have someone else do it for me. I can't stomach this.

Don't worry, America. The nation is now safer because Ron Paul was groped by the TSA before flying home to Houston.

Tonight, while traveling home to Houston, TX, C4L Chairman Ron Paul was groped by TSA agents while passing through security. A long opponent of the TSA, Dr. Paul, voted against creating the massive department while in Congress

I have posted here for many years and learned so much from all you wonderful patriots.

While there are many political issues I'm passionate about, there are a couple of subjects I constantly harp about here because I feel they are low-hanging-fruit for liberty-minded Americans.

1. FOREIGN AID (more honestly called FOREIGN WELFARE). Our Congress HAS NO AUTHORITY (based on the SPIRIT of what our founders had in mind when they created this nation), to TAKE MONEY FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS and GIVE IT TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES!!!

No other political subject torques me more than this.

And nothing else should be more clearly WRONG in the eyes of Americans than this THEFT and RE-DISTRIBUTION of the hard-earned FRUITS OF OUR LABORS (our very life-blood).

Charity - given voluntarily from the heart, is a wonderful thing and I'm all for it.

BUT FORCED GOVERNMENT THEFT from we the people to foreign governments is so ABSOLUTELY IMMORAL that I can't believe it has been allowed to continue (mostly un-opposed) by the people for so many years.

WHAT IS WRONG with Americans that they put up with this and let THIEVING WORMS like U.S.A.I.D. and Foreign Relations Committees GET AWAY WITH IT year after YEAR???

In case you haven't heard, we're moving the ark from here to a new vessel, called PopularLiberty, found at:

P O P U L A R   L I B E R T Y . C O M

The new site isn't taking on new members yet, but everyone with a functioning username and password here at the DP should be able to log into the new site. I have heard there are some issues, some passwords aren't working, etc. If you're having this problem, please leave a comment below and we'll get you sorted out.

At the same time, please understand that I'm in the middle of a move in real life. Interestingly, my current situation in the physical world very much resembles what is going on here in the digital world, something I find amusing.

Tuesday on MSNBC following Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) formal announcement that he would be seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, “Hardball” host Chris Matthews discussed Paul’s position on foreign policy and criticized those who were using it against Paul, particularly in political ads.

Rand Paul MUST Keep On Attacking The Clintons!

Rand is running now so he must go after Hillary's record or lack thereof...She will be the nominee of the democratic party, therefore, going after her is the best strategy, IMO...

She is unfit to run for president. She is a failure!!

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK...

"Stand With Rand." That's Sen. Rand Paul's main slogan as he launches his campaign for the White House. He's holding a "Stand With Rand" rally in his home state of Kentucky on Tuesday and is holding another "Stand With Rand" rally in New Hampshire, the traditional first primary state, on Wednesday. It's an unfortunate choice of words, because it underscores the chief problem with his candidacy. For the life of me, I can't figure out what he really believes — where he really stands, especially when it comes to foreign policy.

At a January forum with fellow Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, Paul challenged his colleagues' hawkish showboating on Iran: "Are you ready to send ground troops into Iran? Are you ready to bomb them? Are you ready to send in 100,000 troops? I'm a big fan of … trying the diplomatic option as long as we can. If it fails, I will vote to resume sanctions and I would vote to have new sanctions. But if you do it in the middle of negotiations, you're ruining it.'"

Two months later, he was "ruining it" by putting his signature on an open letter to the Iranian leadership. Authored by arch-neoconservative Sen. Tom Cotton, the letter basically told Tehran that a Republican in the White House would nullify any deal negotiated by the Obama administration.

If you go by the merchandise and logos, the brand for Rand will simply be "Rand".

I know Rand is a distinctive name, but the skeptic in me wonders if they are getting away from the word "Paul".

Quite an array of goods. Looks a little megalomaniacal to see so much stuff with a name on it.

He doesn't have a spatula like Obama had.

Get a load of this. Unbelievable. A Fox News conservative analyst said Republicans are skeptical of Rand Paul's "worldview" and that he must "prove" he'd be willing to nuke a Muslim country if needed. What is going on with this party?

I'm one of the silent majority on the Ark that comes here for love,comfort,information and open-minded discussion. It's funny because I sorta started out as an "info warrior" and the DP became my hip-waders for navigating my way through the info war.

Anyway I just wanted to thank the DP community and Michael for his trust in us and the liberty movement. Thanks for sharing your personal stories of triumph, victory, achievements, pain, loss. Most of all thanks for being a beacon of sanity in a world gone mad! If the universe truly bends toward justice we must be at the apex!
