I'm ready for Rand. I hate anti-social libertarian types and I find Rand pretty repulsive but I don't see any other option to smack down the CIA, NSA, FBI, ATF, CPB, DHS, pretty much the entirety of the military, farming subsidies, a nice bit of cooperate welfare and hopefully some sentencing reform. I think that the terrible consequences of a Rand presidency might be worth giving him a whack at destroying the surveillance state and the brown people killing machine.

Hopefully those who would come after would save the terrible wreckage he would do to the social safety net and environmental agencies. It blows my mind to think that a Rand might present a better option than any other viable candidate, I guess it's amazing what two ethically bankrupt presidents can do to ones perception of the world.
