Dr. Rand Paul fresh off his victory in the Republican primary in Kentucky stopped by the Rachel Maddow show this evening and managed to profess his passionate support for the privatization of racism, or at least strong support for those who wish to practice racism… Well you watch and tell me what you think.

Ultimately Rand Paul misses the larger point of freedom, referees are necessary to ensure that the powerful don’t stomp all over the freedoms of the less powerful.

And as is so often the case, Randy Newman has articulated this far better than I ever could

We’re rednecks, we’re rednecks
We don’t know our ass from a hole in the ground
We’re rednecks, we’re rednecks
We’re keeping the niggers down

Now your northern nigger’s a Negro
You see he’s got his dignity
Down here we’re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger free

Yes he’s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage in the South-Side of Chicago, the West-Side
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the niggers down

Dr. Paul is either stupid or ridiculously naive, I hope it is the latter but either bodes poorly for his inclusion in the Senate of the United States of America.
