Uhhhh, note to NYT... there is no Tea Party candidate, primarily because they are not a political party.
“the Tea Party candidate”
therein lies the problem.
I guess they’ll be “reporting” this incident right-up to November.
uh oh, I guess nobody on the upper west side will be voting for Rand Paul.
The Pauls will be used against any conservative in the future byt the RATS. The lies will be spread by the RATS and developed into the truth by the MSM.
While Im glad the RNC/GOP got slammed by the Paul win I think its time aPaul fade away. He and his followers have done enough damage.
Anything these two buffoons write in the New York Times is “HOGWASH”!!! Rand Paul will win the senate seat in Kentucky by a landslide. Why? Because POTUS Obama is conducting a failed Presidency. The handwriting is clearly on the wall. God protect America, for Barack Hussein Obama will not!!! Think differently, then show me a mass of Democrats running for office that want his presence in their campaigns or his useless endorsement. Obama is toast, he just does not know yet!!! Obama has become radioactive to the core!!!
I am amazed at the national effort by the media to defeat conservative candidates. It’ too brazen to not be noticed so does anyone still buy into it?
If thats his position, he could have just said that from the beginning and left it at that.
He'll learn.
"Damaging" only to those voters who get a case of the fainting fantods any time the MSM or a liberal accuse them of "racism". Few of whom are likely to vote for Paul anyway.
The fact, which has been posted numerous times on this topic that the Tea Party has no leader, does not matter to the Government Run Press, i.e. MSM. Their attempts to tar Conservatives, Libertarians, and Tea Party supporters as racists is a deliberate political ploy that seeks to destroy all opposition to Socialism. The sad reality is that we can no longer discuss the proper role of government in America, especially with anything that has to do with race. In a free society, people have a right to be stupid. If a business owner decides that he does not want the business from a specific group of people, regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with race or religion, he should have the right to make bad business decisions without government intervention. The idea that the government has the authority to tell someone who they can and cannot serve is the worst sort of totalitarianism. This is what happens when equality rather than freedom is the basis for government. Equality can only be obtained by governmental force. Of course, the government gets to decide what qualifies a equality. As we have seen, Congress excludes itself from the laws that it imposes on everyone else, and that includes racial quotas and regulations. In a society that is grounded on individual freedom, which includes freedom from an intrusive government, people would respect the freedom of others to make their own decisions, even if those decisions hurt the individual that makes them.
Rand Paul is right.
Law was needed to prevent blacks from being forced to the back of public government-run buses, from being forced to drink from public government-supplied drinking fountains, and from being forced to segregate and not attend public schools.
Private lunch counters were a different thing. The Government had no authority to tell private businesses to integrate, private homeowners to sell homes to blacks, etc.
Now, I think the practice of discluding blacks was despicable, but then I am not going to revise history or judge those from a different time when values and mores were different from our modern values and mores.
That said, the market would have fixed the lunch counters.
Once upon a time no blacks were allowed in sports, then Jackie Robinson kicked ass and the rest is history. Heck, it is only very recently that NFL teams finally overcame racism to allow black quarterbacks and head coaches.
The market is self-leveling. Restaurants and stores that allowed in blacks and Hispanics would get their business and make more profit, pressuring other vendors to do the same or go bankrupt.
Paul Rand is right. This isn’t that hard. The 1964 Civil Rights bill should have ended all forms of public discrimination, but not addressed private discrimination. The man is right.

Anybody that didn't see it coming hasn't been paying attention.
