Such a stereotypical looking man of the British isles. Lmao.
Why is that funny? Jesus Christ… I can only imagine how ugly you are. Probably ashamed of looking like an Arab.
He’s annoying… a libertarian is NOT a Republican…
Policies tend to overlap a lot though.

Rand Paul rules! When he becomes #45 America will remain on the right track to success!
Officially running for president!
correction: Hohenzell (as part of the town Schlüchtern) is in Hessia, not in Prussia; but perhaps it is correct to write: “then in Prussia” – or just: Germany ;-) .
… or: “Hohenzell, Hessia, then a province of Prussia”
There’s a song by Jefferson Airplane titled “Never Argue with a German if You’re Tired”. Now you know why … :D
