Every Book and Article Mentioned During Rand Paul’s Filibuster

I started to write an article entitled “The Civil War Has Begun,” but then Rand found his moment and his voice on the Senate floor, and delivered a devastating blow to those who wish to fan the flames of partisan hatred into violence, in order to advance the Police State. Once violence begins it can be merrily suppressed with bipartisan drones and draconian restrictions on guns, civil discourse and all dissent whether from left or right.

Rand suddenly gave the civil libertarians of the left and the consistent libertarians who are increasingly haunting the neocon right, common ground on which to make their stand together. This is the coalition they have always feared: authoritarian vs. libertarian. It terrifies the old fascists and warmongering dinosaurs who see their plans demolished with only 13 hours of common sense. Well done, Rand. But truth be known, this better be “only the beginning.” Perhaps it will come to be properly described as the beginning of the end... of statism.

this is great! i bookmarked it.
as i was listening to rand on wed. i was thinking and noting how much
documentation he was including in his discourse, and how well read he is.
and he did it conversationally, not in a monotone.
thank , gee_blee, for compiling this list!
read and understand!

Someone has a very liberal concept of weekends! :D

That reading list, which looks very fun, will take me months! That is assuming that nothing new distracts me. I've a weakness for shiny new books.

Thanks for compiling this list. We'd all do well to read original source material after anyone quotes it, especially if it will be instructive toward our philosophical ends.

Implied as 1 weekend, lol. Awesome list. That is amazing all the references he made. My jaw hit the floor...wow.

Thanks to Rand for citing all that, of course, but your listing it makes it so much more apparent the intellectual strength of the man!

This has been a major triumph for the liberty movement. We've got a way to go, of course, but the more we bring reason and cited authority to the debate the more the DemoRepublican toadies have to slither and skither.

Now if we could only get discussion of the Tenth Amendment into our public schools and make it a requirement of all school teachers that they both UNDERSTAND the tenth and TEACH the fact that we are supposed to be a republic and not a "democracy"...that a solid case (to vastly understate the reality) can be made that almost everything our Federal government does is simply illegal.

alrightie, 21st century FB generation, where are the audiobook links! lol!

AWESOME LIST!

The "Giuliani Homework List" for Droners!

It might take me 2 weekends to read those... lol!

well done! Such hard work did you track these down all on your own or did a team of worker bees do it?

This is exactly why it is so hard to explain everything we talk about as RP supporters. Every sentence and word has another meaning making it very difficult to sum up everything in one paragraph without confusing or befuddling and thinking we are all crazy and someone is always out to get us.

Great Job gee_blee I will be saving this for future use.

On Another Note,
Who thinks its weird that the show 'Homeland' mysteriously revolves around this whole idea of drone strikes and "blow black" that it might cause compared to the power being handed to the president to kill an American without due process; If you watched the show of course.

Programing our minds before it happens~ Television Programing (TV) =P Just a thought that crossed my mind...

Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll, 1865 is available for reading or listening online or on the road. Free. It is in the public domain.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) [LibriVox recording & text; public domain; free; volunteer]

In this children’s classic, Alice follows falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy realm full of talking creatures. She attends a never-ending tea party. Plays croquet at the court of anthropomorphic playing cards.

A brief summary: Fed Inflates Itself Beyond "Alice in Wonderland"$2 Quadrillion Collection by Mark Twain 10/17/2012.
Related to Alice in Wonderland. Our money is a close cousin.

Comic relief: "Our money is a joke!" by Pepe Grillo, Italian Comedic turned Politician. 2013. 5 minute theatre. Lira: una commedia Tragedic! Trying hard to avoid tragic ending to his comic theatre provocative, "Show me the Money!"

Italian w/ English captions (Read the notes as well).

of truth bombs disguised as literary works, I hope some unsuspecting neo-cons picked them up and got their minds blown!

And I laugh my @ss off every time someone says that Ron Paul didn't accomplish anything in office.

Thank you gee_blee. Folks like you are the reason liberty will prevail.

I've bookmarked this and I will read every last one.

An earlier comment referenced "Atlas Shrugged". I'd like to add "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington".

I will am still working my way way through the 80k plus word of the first 7 hours.

I am happy that some of the books I have already read. I will start with the recent news articles.

peAce

Also, here's a good quote:

"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice."
