Senator Rand Paul's Speech 10/16 in Lexington Kentucky Part 1

What is worse America? Donald Trump's WORDS or Hillary Clinton's ACTIONS!

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….

My Nothin' Fancy Farm 2016 Speech

Meeting KY-6 District US House Rep Andy Barr

Tonight I met for the first time, My US House Representative Andy Barr. However, to properly tell this story, I must go back in time. I was excited in 2012 when someone I’ve never heard of named Andy Barr beat career politician and Nancy Pelosi momma boy Ben Chandler. It wasn’t even a close victory.

Little by little as time passed and I dug into the voting record of Andy Barr, I became discouraged because he had cast votes for legislation and spending bills that I felt violated my beliefs in limited government and fiscal conservativism. I felt that he had went against the tea party constitutional principles he had ran on. I felt compelled to even research all of the bills voted on by the US House in 2013 to compare his votes to KY-4 district Congressman Thomas Massie. What I found was that Barr had voted the same as Massie 77% of the time. For a long time after that, I had let the 23% compel me to post negative comments about him on social media like Twitter and Facebook. I never heard anything from Barr, no response of any kind. I chalked it up to another sell out congressman that really doesn’t care about their constituents. I even made an effort to gather support to challenge him for his seat.

Fast forward to tonight, as people were mingling with fellow conservatives and meeting with other elected republicans such as Kentucky Lt. Governor Hampton, and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul at a fundraiser for Republican for State House 81st district C. Wesley Morgan. I caught up to Congressman Barr and asked to take a selfie with him. After accepting, he immediately stated that he recognized me and my name from all the tweets regarding votes such as the “Cromnibus” or the Continuing Resolution Omnibus spending bill. He understood completely the frustrations I had with him and we spoke at length about why he voted the way he did. After meeting Congressman Barr, I can confidently say that I will still disagree with him on things, but tonight he earned my vote in November.
