Memo to Snyder: Don’t stop the radical reforms now!Get in bed with Rand Paul, wake up with Alex Jones

Rand Paul was supposed to go on Meet the Press today, but he canceled that appearance when it started to become clear that he was ill-prepared to handle tough questions about his doctrinaire libertarian positions on issues.
But there’s one show where Rand Paul feels right at home.
Paul is not only the “darling of tea partiers” as the mainstream media keeps reminding us. He is also the darling of 9/11 conspiracy nut Alex Jones, who rants on about globalists, fascism and all kinds of other insanity.
If you’re a fan of Alex Jones, well . . . do you sleep with that tinfoil hat on? If you’re unfamiliar with him, you might want to check out his YouTube Channel. My favorite is the one about how the globalist forces are going to attack and eliminate 90 percent of the world’s population.
At any rate, Rand Paul is a regular guest on Jones’s radio show, and Jones continually refers to Paul and his father as the real deal, those rare politicians who embrace the worldview of Alex Jones and would govern in accordance with it.
On Friday, I wrote a column defending Paul from media implications that he is a racist. I still think that defense was warranted. But in that column, I warned of the danger when you take ideological principle to ridiculous extremes. One of those dangers is that you end up getting embraced by – and perhaps embracing – complete lunatics like Alex Jones.
Those of you who are simply troubled by the creeping growth of the state, I can understand that. And if you’re attracted to Rand Paul and his father because they speak out against said creep, I can understand that too – on the surface. But you have to recognize that such dalliances often have a dark side, and in the case of Rand Paul, you simply can’t ignore the reality that Kentucky Republicans have just nominated a guy who’s afraid to go on Meet the Press, but is right at home on the Alex Jones Show.
This is not good. Take a look at one of Paul’s appearances with Jones.
