by Elias J. Atienza. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) told
CN2 that Apple shouldn’t be compelled to hack the encrypted iPhone of
San Bernadino shooter, Syed Farook. Apple has strongly opposed a court
ordered request by the FBI to open the phone, citing that it could
create a backdoor and weaken the security and privacy of users. “What’s extraordinary ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: What Rand Paul Brought To The Race
The fate of the only small government candidate. During the last Republican presidential debate in which he participated, Rand Paul condemned the National Security Agency's mass collection of Americans' telephone records, cautioned against reckless intervention in Syria's civil war, and declared that a "true fiscal conservative" must "look ...

Joel Kurtinitis: Ted Cruz’s Quiet Coup In Iowa
The process of discovery. I
came home exhausted on Caucus night, just as I had many other nights in
the year leading up to our first-in-the-nation nominating contest. As a veteran of the Ron Paul revolution,
I considered myself a hardened political warrior, charging the trenches
of the establishment and lobbing internet hand grenades at ... MORE

Nick Gillespie: Two Cheers (& More!) For Rand Paul!
This was only the beginning. With Rand Paul's suspension of his campaign for the Republican
presidential nomination comes an understandable deluge of autopsies, elegies, screw-yous, and snarky subtweets. Yet I come not to bury the "libertarian-ish" Paul but to praise him. In five short years as a senator,
he's already elevated a host ... MORE
The Only Small Government Candidate Leaves The Race
by Anthony L. Fisher. The era of big government continues. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has suspended his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. In a statement released this morning, Paul wrote: It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: Corny Crony Capitalism In Iowa
Only 2 candidates won't pander to ethanol lobby. The "report card" from America's Renewable Future, a biofuel industry group, is not complicated. If you are a presidential candidate participating in Monday's Iowa caucuses and you support "the commonsense, bipartisan Renewable Fuel Standard," you get a "good rating," symbolized by a fuel ...

John Stossel: Running On Empty
Using tax dollars to buy votes in Iowa. Cars run on fuel. Politicians run on votes, and they'll do almost anything to get them. That includes supporting mandates that force us to use ethanol, a fuel made from corn that Iowa farmers grow. They support ethanol because Iowa is the first state to vote on presidential candidates. Candidates ... MORE

Both Republican senators have criticized federal subsidies for ethanol, which are popular in Iowa, the state hosting the first Republican contest in the 2016 race for the White House.

Stop Expecting Rand Paul To Be Ron Paul
by Eric July. Libertarian elitism is something that truly annoys me, but it really shows itself when we have these Rand Paul vs. Ron Paul discussions during our current election cycle. Do not get me wrong, it isn’t completely absurd that someone would compare a man to his father. But if one is alluding to an expectation that Rand is supposed to be ... MORE
