If Rand Paul was your journalism teacher — a hysterical prospect — he would give you a failing grade for being critical of him or his party.
That doesn’t sound like Liberty(!) to me.
“I’m being criticized for not having proper attribution, and yet they are able to write stuff that if I were their journalism teacher in college, I would fail them,” Paul said. [...]
“After a thoughtful speech, where I made six or eight references to 1984, Gattaca, My Left Foot, Einstein, Ray Bradbury, and Michelangelo, I’m then criticized for taking a couple lines from Wikipedia and nobody reports on what the speech was even about,” Paul said. “At least I saw the movie Gattaca, I read the book 1984. They didn’t even read my damn speech.”
Does this mean that, in Rand Paul’s Journalism 101 class, plagiarism would be considered acceptable if you’re using it to attack liberalism?
That must be when Liberty(!) comes into effect.
