The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed on July 14 brings the United States and other world powers together in an effort to “stop the spread of nuclear weapons,” according to President Barack Obama. We will see, in a few years, whether this deal delivers on its promise. What we do know is that this deal will allow Iran to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles that have the capability to deploy nuclear warheads and will rapidly accelerate the spread of conventional weaponry all around the Middle East.
I thank my parents very, very often for giving me the opportunity to be born on United States soil—to be a citizen in a country that appreciates my voice and position as a member of the community and nation. The United States I know and love is a unique network of families, schools, town halls, places of worship, neighborhoods and state capitols. We are not defined prima facie by our incomes or wealth or the businesses that we grow. We are instead defined by the community that our businesses enable us to build and support. We are driven by a constant hope for something bigger and better, not only for ourselves but also for our compatriots.
I came out of the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) armed mostly with Rand Paul memorabilia – An “I Stand with Rand” t-shirt, “Stand with Rand” pin and a signed copy of his book, Government Bullies were some of the standouts. Young Americans for Liberty (YAL), a relatively new nationwide student-driven organization endorsed by Rand Paul, had arguably the most popular booth over the three days of CPAC. It was there that one could observe, at some point or another, almost every student jostle to place their flag on YAL’s political spectrum or play “Pong Off Your Debt,” a beer pong offshoot with cups labeled “End Corporate Welfare,” “End the War on Drugs,” “Repeal Obamacare,” and “End the Fed,” amongst others.
Today, I am talking to you.
Most universities nationwide have some variation of the following statement in their alcohol policies: “Students under 21 years of age are not permitted to purchase, possess or consume alcoholic beverages.” This implies a fantasy that this statement bars, by its own virtue, any purchase, possession or consumption of alcohol by underage members of an undergraduate community. Given this fantasy, most alcohol policies list guidelines that allow on-campus consumption of alcohol exclusively by those 21 and over.
Rand Paul is rising. The Atlantic magazine has posted nine pieces with Sen. Paul’s name in the headline since March 1, 2013. Politico has posted at least six since yesterday. Paul’s 13-hour filibuster on the employment of drones and our civil liberties has focused the media’s attention upon him. Hillary Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, has not given the media much to talk about. But Rand Paul has consistently addressed the War on Terror, the War on Drugs and immigration reform, among other issues, forcing the media to acknowledge his rising stardom and potential candidacy. More importantly for Paul, the Republican Party is lapping him up, as evidenced by his celebrity at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week. He is a member of the Tea Party, but, according to a survey by the Huffington Post and YouGov, 44 percent of Independents polled agreed that the filibuster was a good way to make a point about the drone program. Libertarians, too, are impressed. These are the reasons why Rand Paul is likely to fall.

“You’re not a sorority girl. You belong in a frat.”
Two days ago, Duke University made national news. We made national news because it seems that here at Duke, we are a bunch of rich, white, snobby d-bags. But really, all we want to do is let those damned minorities know that they’re worse than us. I personally have had the worst time with my perfectly bronzed skin.
