Thursday

And Rand has always been just that kind of nuts.
The PRESENCE of a big govt goon squad is gonna have rand running on small govt and 2nd Amendment shit, and he could give half a fuck it's a Republican Govt....because Rand happens to ALSO BE, one of the few Legit Libertarians that can UNDERSTAND POLLS.

he IS crazy, I don't want anyone thinking he's gonna get my vote lol..but as long as we both think this govt is out of control, he can say what he wants and I'll keep my mouth shut and nod, and keep momentarily unnecessary opinions to myself.
