An open letter about the NoZe Brothers. Re: Rand Paul

[xavier fremboe]

I graduated from Baylor in '90 with a degree in English Lit.  Personally, and to my great shame, I didn't have the stones to go through UnRush.  My roommate did.  It consisted of some drunken hazing with pressure for him to "Be Funny!" while people were yelling at him.  Was he a brother?  I don't know.  There was honor back then.  He either wasn't, or he was.  He was funny enough, and accused me, but I wasn't.

I met some later.  They were funny, too.  UnChristian?  No.  I'd say absolutely irreverent.  Completely equal opportunity mocking.  Baylor is the largest Baptist School in the US.  Finding out about a NoZe event prior to announcement was a guaranteed date.

Let me put it another way...

If Rand Paul was, in fact, a NoZe Brother, I have new respect for him.  This is not Skull and Bones inbreeding here.  He had to make it on his own.  Skull and Bones is fecking creepy weird.  The supposedly have robbed graves, and if you voted R or D in 2004, you had no choice but a Bonesman, IIRC.

The fact that Rand Paul might be a NoZe brother means that he's funny.  It means he can be funny under pressure.  Under adverse circumstances, one might say.


I, myself, am not a Christian, but I respect the beliefs of the religion.  I've studied it far more after getting a degree from Baylor than I did during my not-so-stellar career as a student there.  If Rand Paul was a NoZe Brother, and is a Christian now, he was funny then, and maligned now.

Personally, I think his opponent is taking a cheap shot.  To the point of trying to make pennies into dollars.  I'll put it more succinctcly.  It's total fu\*cking bulls~it

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  In high screwl and college most folks are still stupid teenagers.  As long as you committed no felonies that hurt other people and only did goofy stuff, then you get a pass.

Those years are for growing and learning, the best way to learn is through experience and experimentation.

I graduated Baylor in 1994. If Rand Paul was a NoZe Brother, my respect for him has just doubled...

Noze isn't anti-Christian....it's anti-stodginess and anti-hypocracy....great qualities in a representative....

I graduated from A&M in 96 and I have never heard of the NoZe Brothers.  I didn't even know the guy went to Baylor.  I could care less.  I can forgive quite a bit if someone is for less taxes and smaller govt and actually does it.

In the same vain, In 2000, I didn't care about W. Bush's DUI from 20 or 30 years ago, but I was surprised how many people thought that was important.

I actually had no idea he went to Baylor either.  Heard an NPR softball piece with his opponent on the way home referring to the anti-Christian organization he belonged to and felt compelled to write.

I'm just glad the NoZe Brothers aren't anti-Muslim.  They'd have to disguise themselves to conceal their identities.  Oh.  Wait a minute...
