not a farce. most libertarians are socially liberal or completely hands-off which enables liberal social beliefs/practices that has become the majority in the country. typical republicans are antiquated and backwards socially

Hours After Rand Paul’s 11-Hour Speech Against NSA Spying, Jeb Bush Says He’s Totally Fine With It

Jeb Bush said Thursday “there’s not a shred of evidence” that the 2001 Patriot Act violated anybody’s civil liberties, adding his name to the growing list of 2016 presidential candidates who have expressed support for the controversial law signed by his brother.
According to the Huffington Post, the former Florida governor and likely 2016 presidential candidate made the remarks at an event in New Hampshire, just hours after fellow candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) ended his almost 11-hour filibuster-like speech in which he spoke out against the National Security Agency and its spying programs.
Bush has previously defended the NSA’s surveillance programs, saying earlier this yearthat the collection of U.S. phone call data is “hugely important” to protecting Americans from terrorism.
The Republican candidates have divided themselves in recent days, with one group including Bush standing behind the NSA’s programs. Earlier this week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) denounced “civil liberties extremists,” saying that “all these fear are baloney.” He called for extending the Patriot Act during his foreign-policy focused speech and said people should not be afraid of abuses that have not yet occurred.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) also called last week for permanently extending the Patriot Act, saying that “we cannot let politics cloud the importance of this issue.”
The other group of Republican presidential contenders, led by Paul, have been vocal about how Congress should not renew the law when many sections of it expire.
“I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go unchallenged,” Paul said on the Senate floor during his marathon speech.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), who has also spoken out against the NSA’s bulk data collection since launching his presidential campaign, praised Paul “for his passionate defense of liberty.” He is also cosponsoring a surveillance reform bill and has said that reauthorizing the Patriot Act “is not acceptable.”
A provision of the Patriot Act was found to be illegal by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit earlier this month in a ruling that said the collection of “metadata” from Americans’ phone calls was not the original intention of Congress in passing the Patriot Act. Nonetheless, the Senate is currently scrambling to preserve parts of the legislation before they expire at the end of the week.
