"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat
"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
― Russell Kirk, Author of The Conservative Mind
I have no idea why an authoritarian would taken on what appears to be a libertarian cause. I'd have to ask Rand Paul why he does it to get some insight. My guess is for appearance. Plus look at the wedge he's creating. By Obama taking on a good cause he has immediately turned Republicans against it. It sounds like politics, and the good cause is going to be what suffers (see gun safety).
