Rush Limbaugh and Justin Raimondo both see through the fake political divide exposed by Rand Paul's filibuster.

"Limbaugh perceptively frames the Rand Paul vs McCain-Graham brouhaha in terms of populism versus elitism:
"It was a very simple question he was posing, and all this was going on while our guys are out dining with Obama, dining with the architect of this current nationwide mess. Rand Paul was standing up opposing this while these guys were out yukking it up with the architect of it all. You know it was a great example of the ruling class and the country class, and the ruling class not liking what this country class senator was doing. It’s no more complicated than that, but a lot of people are ticked off about this, too."
Limbaugh has it exactly right: the country class versus the ruling class – that’s what it’s all about.
This explains why contempt for the Paulian upsurge extended from the neocon "right" to the "progressive" sectors of Washington’s political class: they were defending themselves against a populist upsurge, expressing their utter disdain for the peasants-with-pitchforks who came out in support of Sen. Paul on Twitter and talk radio. Putting aside their differences, the fake-"conservatives" and authoritarian "progressives" came together against the Paulian country party threat."

The establishment controls both parties. They create phony controversies to divide the American people Paul's filibuster exposed the phony divide and, by doing so, exposed the real divide between our handful of rulers and the great mass of the American people.

Of course Obama needs a food tester. All tyrants do. Why is this controversial? If Ron Paul had become president, he would likely have need a food tester more than Obama.
