Senator Rand Paul's avid libertarian supporters view him as a philosopher statesman with a robust and nuanced understanding of government. His more progressive critics argue that Paul is an old fossil representing outdated and discredited ideas.

Either way, Rand Paul's 2016 presidential ambitions continue to strengthen, especially in the wake of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's recent "Bridgegate" scandal.

So here's a review of the feisty Kentucky senator's political views in a form that perfectly assents to both characterizations of Rand Paul: "Philosoraptor" meme parodies-- that is-- PhilosoRandPaul memes:

Actual Quote: "People are already saying now you need to weave and dodge, now you need to switch. Now you need to give up your conservative message. You need to become a moderate.
