Rand Paul: Making Government Trained Killers More Efficient

It is really difficult to see how a libertarian can support Rand. He is an operator within the state and will take some very evil positions from the jailing of Edward Snowden to making the Department of Defense more efficient.

On some issues, libertarian Rand supporters may be able to argue, incorrectly in my view, but they can argue that Rand will change his position if he becomes president. This can be argued on positions where public opinion is watching an issue, and it can be argued he is just taking the position to gain votes.

But, no one is focused on the efficiency of the Defense Department from the specific perspectives Rand is looking at. Steps he is taking to make the Department of Defense more efficient are pure evil issues created by Rand.

Here's the latest.

Rand this past week sent a number of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act .

Rand's office itself writes:

 These amendments are largely aimed at eliminating inefficiencies and wasted funds within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). As a fierce advocate for our nation’s armed forces, Sen. Paul believes these amendments will help ensure that DoD funds are spent on our most critical defense needs, as efficiently as possible. 

What kind of libertarian wants a more efficient killing machine for the Empire?

These steps are pure evil taken at the step from where the killing machine wreaks death and property destruction around the globe.
