On the Left, It's 1964 4Ever

Chairman Zero's progressive leftist fanboys are giggling with glee because their smartest and most masculine thought leader, Rachel Maddow, asked Republican Senate Candidate Rand Paul a question he didn't answer well with requisite political slickness... about the 1964 Civil Rights Act!
For the record, he could have answered it better, e.g. by simply stating that as a libertarian, he was wary of Federal Intrusion into private business decisions and that there should be limits to such intrusion. But, for Pete's sake, the Civil Rights Act was 46 frakkin' years ago! Put down the bong and look at a calendar, you stupid hippies! You may not like it, but the country has made a whole lotta racial progress since then, and to most people, a hypothetical about the Civil Rights Era isn't really salient to the Massive Government Debt Era.
The country has moved on, but the idiot left is stuck in 1964. Rand Paul is not going to travel back in time, Quantum Leap style, to vote against the Civil Rights Act. (He has actually said he would have voted for it.) But if it makes you feel better, if he does manage to travel back in time, Timecop-style, to 1964, he would probably vote against the Vietnam War, too.
Feel better, hippies?
