I agree with Rand Paul's words. [Noting - i agree with all of them basically] but here are Paul's words:
"I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass," Paul said. "Our nation is adrift, adrift in a wilderness where right and wrong have become subservient to a hedonism of the moment. I believe our country is in need of a revival."
Thanks Mike.
Excuse me but doesn't Rand Paul claim to be an Ayn Rand Libertarian ?
From what Objectivist viewpoint does THIS opinion spring from ?
Rand Paul has taken pains to make it clear that while he is a Libertarian, he isn't a Randite. Also, he was named after his Grandfather Randall, not the positively evil Ayn Rand.
Ok, fine he's a straight up libertarian.
So where does this critique of our society come from for THAT point of view.
Why is it ok for the corporate, the rich, the powerful the (please read this with a sneer) "job providers" to rape, pillage and marauder their way through the economy like a bunch of black jacketed motorcycle gang-bangers
BUT
When it suits his agenda all of a sudden America need a moral revival ?
If their hedonism is ok so is mine.
Just a lazy googling of abc news abortion march...
Abortion Opponents March in Washington
March For Life News, Photos and Videos - ABC News
The latter is a whole page of related stories, abc though the issue newsworthy enough to dedicate a whole subpage to. I couldn't be bothered to check the rest of the news services, I expect similar though.
The college football player with the fake girlfriend was news not because he had a fake girlfriend, but because his was a major sporting human interest story this year that turned into a bizarre train wreck. People are more interested in that than..well, than a story about something that kinda happens every year. Women's right march, million man march, march for life...,arches are kinda boring, and most typical Americans don't care when a bunch of fringes assemble, unless its something new, like the early days of the Ocupy or Tea Party demonstrations.

My version of hedonism as of late has consisted of falling asleep in front of the TV with a hockey game on with a half a drink going to waste in front of me. I need a jump start.
If he believed everything of Ayn - why would he say this?Excuse me but doesn't Rand Paul claim to be an Ayn Rand Libertarian ?

Mike, listen to what I say. I said the news. You posted a website and the story was buried, not on the Home page. up to a half million Christians marched for life and the pack page website link you posted called the "Abortion opponents"
It is so wonder we are losing the war in this country. We have luke warm Christians that attack other Christians for having the temerity to point out that the media refuses to cover Pro-life issues ina meaningful way.
Mike , do you watch the main stream news ? If I didn't mention that upwards of a half million Christians marched for life, you would have never mentioned it. Anyone who hs eyes to see and ears to hear understands the inherent bias of the main strsm News. Not a story buried on a webpage.
Why do you feel a need to defend the media?
Here is another example. Martha Raddatz interviews Senator Bob Menedez today for 6 minutes. They have a nice chat about immigration, but not one question as to why the FBI are investigating him for having sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. Our fine Senator is accused of sleeping with youngs girls of age 16.
Did you know about this ? Of course you don't
It is the job of Christians to march for the sanctity of life and it is the job of Christians to point out the lack of meainful news coverage.
Cannot argue that.One word: Ratings.
Cannot argue that.
The more sensationalist - the more air time.
Lance Armstrong is now a household name... unfortunately.
People love gossip. It's hard for them to care about 'real' human interest stories involving the death of the innocent that they are more than likely desensitized at this point to care about.
Reminds me of that song - Dirty Laundry.
Need to get folks to watch for ratings - make the story juicy and enticing and who doesn't love a good 'Got cha' story?
Sad.
