Rand Paul is a Fellow Traveller. People forget: Ayn Rand invented Objectivism as a reaction to the collectivism of the Bolsheviks. Her whole schtick was "nobody gets to take your stuff away" which makes the most sense for people with stuff. Early objectivists were understandably negative towards the Soviets but modern-day ones just see oligarchs and Objectivism, fundamentally, celebrates oligarchy.

The KGB/FSB did better with Republicans from Goldwater on because game recognizes game. Teddy Roosevelt Republicanism was about the power of the free market while Goldwater-on was about power within the free market - Bork's whole schtick was that monopolies are good unless the government has them in which case individuals are denied their opportunity to get rich.

You'd have a lot more tranquility if you spent more time looking at what they do than at what they say because the political ideology of the Right does not require anyone to speak the truth, to speak candidly, or to experience any ramifications from their speech whatsoever.
