Sen. Rand Paul released a video Monday pleading with the public to resist COVID-19 regulations issued by the government.
The Kentucky Republican asserted that a unified public rejection of restrictions intended to stem the spread of the virus would be too much for the government to handle and that "petty tyrants and bureaucrats" would be forced to drop mask mandates and similar policies.
"It's time for us to resist. They can't arrest all of us," Paul said in the video. "They can't keep all of your kids home from school. They can't keep every government building closed, although I've got a long list of ones they might keep closed or ought to keep closed." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/rand-paul-defiance-against-covid-restrictions

It's a great video. Articulate and on point.

I like Rand Paul better than the other senators. It would be nice though to see all the Republicans saying this and doing that from the beginning. This has snowballed way past the point of no return. I'll give em cudos for speaking directly to the people what a lot of us have been saying, especially his Dad. Check date https://www.mediamatters.org/corona...piracy-theory-about-covid-19-vaccine-and"Ron Paul uses Fox Business appearance to push conspiracy theory about a COVID-19 vaccine and Bill Gates WRITTEN BY JOHN WHITEHOUSE PUBLISHED 08/03/20 1:14 PM EDT SHARE COMMENT Ron Paul is, indisputably, a coronavirus conspiracy theorist. He used his latest appearance on Fox Business to push yet another such theory. Paul has complained about the “coronavirus hoax” on his website and his Facebook page and about “vaccine tyranny” on his YouTube show. He’s pushed numerous conspiracy theories about masks as well. On June 16, he posted a video asking if a second wave of COVID-19 was “another coronavirus hoax.” On July 13, Paul posted a video suggesting that COVID-19 spikes in the sunbelt were just “a lot of hot air.” He doubled down on the narrative on July 21. Despite Paul's history, Fox Business’ Stuart Varney hosted him on Monday morning, asking for his opinion on “America's response to the virus so far.” Paul used the opportunity to hint at another coronavirus conspiracy theory, saying it should make viewers “very nervous” that Bill Gates is investing in and talking about the effectiveness of a potential vaccine. Video file Video Player 00:00 05:37 SHARE CitationFrom the August 3, 2020, edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co. STUART VARNEY (HOST) You are a libertarian. You are a former practicing doctor — I know that, too. What do you make of America's response to the virus so far? RON PAUL: I think it's sad. I like what Sweden did. You know, everybody wants — in America — wants to jump on Sweden for being these outlandish socialists, but they handled it better. They just ignored it and it ran its course. They had their problems, but they have had no economic consequences, but they didn't have a lockdown. And I think we went in the wrong direction and the people who were objected to it didn't get very much of a hearing. So there's been groups of doctors who have taken a different position — it should be more conservative, hydroxychloroquine should have been able to be used. Instead, astoundingly, something that's been around for 65 years and from my opinion, very safe drug and very effective, was literally taken off the market by the FDA. It makes no sense. It's sort of anti-libertarian. So, I think we went in the wrong direction. I think we're suffering more from it. And that's not to belittle the seriousness of this. It's a very serious thing. But you know, the fanaticism on now on getting the vaccine I think is going to be a fruitless adventure because all you have to do is listen to Gates and it should make you very nervous. Well, we don't know when we're going to get it but we've already spent $9 billion on this and might need two shots — no, it might need three shots for this to happen. They admit it's only 50% to 60% beneficial. So I would say we're going in the wrong direction and that it's a coronavirus and it's sort of in the field of where the cold viruses are and you don't get good vaccines from this. So it's sad because the people who have done less have gotten a better benefit from it and there's a lot of — a lot people can do for natural immunity and I certainly emphasize that, but I also emphasize freedom of choice in not having certain treatments run down our throat by the government. I don't think the government should be in the practice of medicine. Central economic planning fails in economics; it fails in medicine, too, and I think that's what we are witnessing now. I think the economic consequence of lockdown is way out of proportion to what should have happened.'

So the lines are being clearly drawn in the sand for the mid terms. Republicans are a bunch of racist, conspiracy nuts that are going to kill everyone with their ignorance. And Democrats are a bunch of liberty hating sheep that blindly follow Marxist tyrants. The stage for this theater is set. Should be entertaining.

I just hope Rand is around to help the people that take his advice, stand up the authorities and pay the price for it.
I do love the video though. I've been wanting someone of consequence to say that for awhile now.

Should be entertaining. the GOP should win the mid term elections by a huge margin, but damn if they aren't screwing the pooch with their (normal) unwillingness to engage the liberals. They don't have to even DO anything, just TALK like they WOULD do something, and they have the election won.

He’s talking to the people that don’t ask for, need or want someone’s help. They want the govt to get the fugk out of our lives and go back to serving it’s limited purpose.

And that the courts are not interested? How many more times are people on here going to tell us to vote them out? Are you kidding??

The bottom line for me is that this next election is about liberty vs tyranny. For people like us, it has ALWAYS been about that. But topics have arisen, even with censorship attempts, that give many groups of people a tangible perspective on that theme that their limited paradigms never contemplated before. In layman's terms, schit's getting real for some people for the first time in their engineered lives.

I think he's casting a pretty wide net with his call to action. If a bunch of people do it, it will collapse, but they'll try to make some examples of people early on.

It’s way past time. We should be standing up to all of their bullshit. Liberties stolen, elections stolen, constitution trampled on. They are fuggen out of control!
Take care, Willie
Cry to the heavens and let slip the dogs of war. For they must feed on the bones of tyranny. In order for men to have freedom and liberty.

The other reason why this approach is ingenious is because he's defining liberty as rebellious. Young people love to rebel. People naturally don't want to be told what to do. And the Democrat Party is the organization telling you what you have to do. We've known that for decades but so many people have been brainwashed into believing the opposite. But these mandates are something people cannot ignore. They're in their lives and in their faces (literally). The media can't censor the mandates, and one party owns them. Let's hope these issues become so tangible so as to be a wake up call to the drones in their brainless malaise.
