Diversity in 2016
In the days of Martin Luther King Jr., diversity meant being inclusive of all people of all walks of life. Black, White, Brown, Catholic, Atheist, Jewish, men and women. Inclusiveness in government, in the classroom, in the workforce, in lunchrooms and in the military. Martin Luther King Jr. not one time ever called for killing of cops, the burning of people’s businesses, the calling of their own race’s lives matter while condemning everyone else as racist. MLK Jr. did it right. He took his message to the people and convinced us that peace through strength of numbers and of conviction can break through even the most hardened of hearts. He proved that love can win by not allowing haters to affect his pursuit of peaceful revolution.
Unfortunately this is 2016 and diversity much like the family sedan isn’t what it used to be. Diversity has become nothing more than a cliche meant to put lipstick on the pig so to speak. Diversity now means fifty shades of gray of the same idea. Diversity means believing that mankind has the power to control the weather of the entire globe even though most of it is covered with nothing but water and ice. Diversity means believing that compassion comes from the force of a government official loaded with arms that you aren’t allowed to have access to. Diversity means calling blacks uncle toms and coons and gays self haters and women weak daring to challenge political correctness in 2016. Diversity now means getting social media platforms to censor and ban people and messages that trigger and overwhelming emotional traumatic response. Diversity today reflects suing Christian bakers for refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple while those that refuse to make a “Thin Blue Line” cake get cheered on Facebook. Diversity means threatening the lives of outspoken gay conservatives that dare to come to college campuses to speak. Diversity today means using the force of the federal government to attack groups of people that you do not agree with. Diversity unfortunately means treating criminals better than law biding citizens and allowing our children to go to school without any measure of protection. Diversity today means a white guy or gal can play black face and be a leader in the NAACP or work in journalism as long as they are promoting “Social Justice”. Diversity now means that you get to call those who criticize you for sitting during the national anthem as white supremacist xenophobic racists.
MLK Jr. would be ashamed of America today. He would roll over in his grave if he knew how people bastardize his name for all the things they do in it. He would be aghast at how people have all but erased his efforts to show that people of all backgrounds can co-exist. He would tell “Black Lives Matter” that “All Lives Matter” and to go home and stop making fools of themselves. He would tell women today that they don’t need to do everything a man does in order to feel just as equal, just as powerful, and just as strong. He would tell the government that his people don’t need their pity, their handouts, or their lip service. MLK Jr. would tell the media that they have failed in their duty to be fair and impartial. I have no doubt in my mind that MLK would vote for Donald Trump in November if given the chance. Unfortunately it looks like being dead means his vote will go to Hillary in 2016…You know…Diversity and all….

The Lone #RandPaul Vote
Yesterday I participated with both of my parents in Kentucky's first Republican Presidential Caucus. We had to go to Jackson County about 30 miles away from where we live in Estill County to participate. While it was an inconvenience, it was exciting. It would turn out that Donald Trump would win the Kentucky Caucus. However, one big thing caught my eye! On an interactive map from WKYT.com I was able to find out that I had cast the only vote for sitting Senator Rand Paul in the entire county. Out of hundreds that participated, I was the only one to cast a vote for the most principled defender of our US Constitution on the ballot. Yes Dr. Paul had suspended his presidential campaign in the 24 hours following the Iowa Caucus, but he was the only individual on that ballot deserving of my vote. I have always believed that standing on your principles meant doing so in successes, in failures, and when you are all alone. I was truly all alone in voting for Senator Rand Paul.

I am not ashamed of my vote, nor am I going to feel anything but proud of my lone stance. I have believed in Senator Rand Paul before he was ever elected. He was the very first politician I ever came across that was genuine, REAL. He was the first person that didnt promise me things or tell me things I wanted to hear for the sake of a vote. He was the reason I came to be a strong supporter of the US Constitution and strive for Liberty and Freedom. He was the reason I evolved from just being a regular Republican. I stand with Rand Paul. I will always stand with Rand Paul. Even when Im Alone, and I just proved it.

Kentucky's First Republican Presidential Caucus on Saturday March 5th
Tomorrow March 5th will be for Kentucky Republicans the opportunity to participate in the state's first ever Presidential Caucus. Until 2016, Kentucky voters in either party voted for their choice of party nominee for President along with the primary candidates of state and local offices in May. However thanks to a questionable statute in Kentucky's Constitution and the efforts of Senator Rand Paul to run for both President and seek re-election as US Senator, republican voters of the commonwealth will get the opportunity to have more of a voice in who becomes the National Republican Party nominee for President. Question many ask is why does this presidential caucus give voters more of a voice? By the time May comes around, the GOP already has a clear front runner and candidates simply do not bother with coming to Kentucky to campaign. This election cycle is different. Having a March caucus allows Kentucky Republicans to have more of an impact on the choice of nominees and candidates have had to come to Kentucky to speak to voters. Obviously with this being the first ever caucus in Kentucky, there will be problems, there will be issues, questions, misunderstandings, and frustrations. Take my situation for example. I live in one of nine counties of the 120 counties that does not have a caucus location. This is due to my county simply not having a republican party apparatus in place to organize and staff and approve of a location for voters. I am having to drive to an adjacent Jackson County in order to participate. Perhaps this will spark individuals in my county to revive the presence of a Republican Party organization in Estill County. It is my hope that republicans of this Commonwealth will seize this first time opportunity to have an impact on a national election.

Why Senator #TedCruz Will NOT Be the 2016 #GOP Nominee
Texas Senator Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucus on Monday February 1st. However, I would not necessarily bet on Senator Cruz winning the GOP nomination. My reasons may be considered by some to be out in left field, but hear me out. The Republican voters of Iowa have a horrible track record of voting for those unsuited for the GOP Nomination. Take the last 2 election cycles going back to 2008. Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012 both won the Iowa Caucus popular vote. However, neither of them even came close to winning the GOP nomination. It was Senator Cruz's fear peddling, war-mongering, religious zealotry that won the caucus goers over. It was the same tactic used by Santorum and Huckabee in 2012 and 2008 respectively.
Today, in 2016, Americans have worn thin of the obviously failed "War on Terror" that has been going on since the 2002 invasion of Iraq. After more than 10 years of undeclared foreign conflicts that have sent thousands of our bravest men and women back home in body bags, Americans are not thirsty for war. The blood lust that was fresh after 9/11 has all but disappeared. Our Youth today that side with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul will NEVER vote for the likes of Ted Cruz. Thanks to the internet and social media, Senator Cruz cannot hide the fact that he has on many occasions stolen talking points from Senator Rand Paul and attempted to claim leadership over movements such as de-funding planned parenthood and audit the fed. After missing the Audit the Fed vote on January 12th, any true liberty minded conservative voter gave up their respect they had for Cruz.
What is becoming more apparent by the day is that Senator Cruz will use any sneaky tactic he can to gain an advantage including sending out mailers that attempt to shame voters for not participating in past caucuses, claiming that Dr. Ben Carson was ending his campaign, and flip flopping his position on Edward Snowden to get votes. This will soon bite him in the rear and may do so as soon as the New Hampshire primary coming up. His constant preaching about how Godly he is and how he wants to carpet bomb ISIS and make the sands glow will not be welcome in other primaries as it was in Iowa.
What is also becoming clearer is how arrogant Ted Cruz really is. He took the position that he was the rightful heir of the Ron Paul vote. How asinine do you really have to be to believe that as long as Ron Paul's son Rand Paul is running in the race that someone else will be the heir to his votes? After last night's victory, The Cruz camp boasted that Cruz got a record number of Caucus votes. Its as if he seriously believes the record turn out was because of him.
Every GOP nominee has been able to work with the majority of congress to get things accomplished in DC. Perhaps even more so than Ron Paul, Ted Cruz can't work with anyone in DC to get anything done. His antics on the Senate floor calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a "Liar" is just an example of the unwelcome attitude he has presented in DC. The difference between Ron Paul and Ted Cruz here is that Ron Paul never broke decorum to make his points. Ron stood on unwavering principles to hold the fiscal/constitutional line. Senator Cruz also has a very big problem and its the same problem Senator Rubio has. That problem is his poor Senate attendance record. Cruz has taken the position that if a vote isnt close or will politically favor him, that he will simply not show up to work. Iowans might not care that Cruz and Rubio have chosen to run for a promotion instead of doing the work they take tax money to do, but that simply wont work in other primary states.
In the final GOP debate prior to the Iowa Caucus, Ted Cruz resembled more of a cry baby than a defacto front runner on stage after Donald Trump decided to boycott. Complaining about panel questions and even getting into it with a moderator because his name was mentioned in a question and wanted to respond even though there was no debate rules allowing for such. It was also exposed through video evidence that Ted Cruz flip flopped on his positions on Amnesty.
In conclusion, Senator Cruz better enjoy this victory, because if historical trends hold true, he will not get the GOP Nomination. IF and this is a big IF, if Cruz is some how the GOP Nominee, he will lose embarrassingly to either Hillary Clinton, or if she is indicted, Senator Sanders. THAT, is my unapologetic opinion!

The #GOP Trump Factor
Ever since joining the GOP Race for the Presidency, Donald J Trump has been toward the top...Then at the Top of the polls... His obvious controversial comments about Illegal Immigrants has obviously struck a favorable chord with those in the Republican Party. Of course then came the circus freak show that was the first GOP debate in Cleveland Ohio by FoxNews. The unusual back and forth tension between Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly only served to invalidate the entire debate. The events that occurred after the Debate only served to thus far thrust the GOP race into the tabloid reality TV realm. Whether it was Trump's perceived comments about blood coming out of Megyn's wherever or whether it was Erick Erickson's revoking Trump's invite to the RedState gathering of 2015, or the Rosie O'Donnell spat about smearing period blood in people's faces.. Take your pick...All of these events have simply made for great entertainment television, but not good politics. Of course does all of the times Trump has sided with the Democrats matter? Does all the times Trump admitted to buying access to politicians for personal financial gain matter? Does all the times that Trump took up leftist positions on Abortion, Guns, Healthcare, Taxes, matter? Does all the times that Trump has switched parties matter? It should... But what we have seen from those I have personally labeled as "Trump Humpers" is nothing short of a pure repeat of what we saw during both of Obama's campaigns for the presidency..Pure unadulterated blind devotion with a side of vile hateful often racist behavior. Their desire for victory has clearly overshadowed their conservative values and can only be described as putting their Emotions over their Intelligence.. Of course this is only one step above Obama supporters which only have Emotions...
Then on the other side of the spectrum, you have the GOP Establishment pundits like George Will on Fox News telling people that Trump Supporters should join the rest of the GOP on the terms of the establishment...Not theirs... Of course this does absolutely nothing but make people support Trump even more. Every time that someone of notoriety comes out and publicly attacks Trump, He retorts with something to the affect of they are Stupid or they are slobs or they have no chance.. and his fan base eats it up with the fervor not seen since the height of Hitler's rise in Germany. Trump could cut the heads off of puppies and his fan base would cheer and take to social media with him holding the decapitated head declaring that he would be the leader that changes DC. Ann Coulter took to twitter declaring that she didn't care if Trump allowed abortions as long as he took to task his "Immigration Reform". This is precisely the sort of sycophant behavior that must not be allowed to continue to have influence in this race.
To Attack Trump or Not to Attack Trump....That my friends is the question... Many of Trump's beleaguered followers believe that Rand Paul has sunk in the polls as a result of his attacks on Trump at the Debate and afterward. Simultaneously, they also believe that Ted Cruz's rise in the polls are a result of his refusal to attack Trump. This in my humblest of opinions is hogwash because Rand Paul's numbers began to mysteriously drop after he came forward with his 14.5% Fair and Flat Tax plan. It wasnt because his plan was bad...It was because his plan was bad for the special interests that are best served by politicians that are easily bought and sold that influence those polling organizations. Both Trump and FoxNews released polling graphics of the first Iowa poll post Debate conducted by the CNN/ORC and they showed Rand Paul with 5%.....But They chose instead to show Jeb Bush who only polled at 4%. This is nothing new to Fox News because they did the exact same thing to Rand's father Ron when he ran in 2008 and 2012.
In conclusion, This GOP Race has been a complete disgrace thus far. As long as Donald Trump remains in the race, it will continue to be a complete disgrace. If you believe that Fox News hates Donald Trump, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell.
