Attacking Rand Paul on Civil Rights

Yes, Rand Paul said it. The Federal government had no business enforcing the civil rights act. No, not the bill of rights, but certain civil rights such as the ability to ride anywhere you want on a bus, the ability to walk into any business, and the ability to work at particular businesses despite race, gender, orientation, etc, etc.

And Rand Paul is being attacked about this. Never mind that he said he WOULDN'T repeal it. Just that he wouldn't have endorsed it if he had been in the senate at the time.

But what these newspaper articles are NOT saying is that the enforcement of these civil rights is not the DUTY of the federal government, but rather the DUTY of the states. And if you didn't like the state you were living in because it did not enforce these civil rights, then you could hurt the state by boycotting it....don't visit, don't buy from, don't live there. Today, wealthy people boycott higher taxes by moving to a state with lower taxes, thus hurting the first state's tax revenue. States are discovering that when they raise taxes, their revenue goes down. Amazing, isn't it?

Trust me, it works. Its the power of the people. And it was the power of the people that made civil rights work far more than the power of the federal government.



My parents brought me up without racism. I have heard thousands of people saying the same thing...we were brought up without racism. And if I've heard thousands say it, then the true number is in the millions. This was the choice of our parents. It was not mandated by either the federal government or the state government. It just simply was. It was the direction our country was going at the time we were born.

And it was a good thing. Racism coming from ANYONE, whether white on black, black on white, brown on yellow, or whatever, is just wrong. Having been brought up without racism, I simply can't understand why an individual would be racist, other than the clinical overview that it is a form of primitive tribalism. My tribe good, your tribe bad.

No, folks, we are a different tribe now. We're Americans. E Pluribus Unum...One from out of the many.

But there are people now who want to KEEP racism going. And honestly...I think they are the democrats. Anyone who wants the federal government to stay within its constitutionally-mandated limits is a racist. What does that have to do with racism? Absolutely nothing. They are race pimps, race whores....just as many in the Republican party use the Faith of their constituants to herd them, the Democrats are using your race as a means to herd YOU.

Both sides want us seperate. They want us fighting. They are shaking the red cape in front of the bull so that we attack the red cape. They don't want us coming together and realizing that while we are chasing the red cape, they are holding a sword to our backs. And while they glibly talk of civil rights, they are taking away ALL of our natural born rights (also known as the bill of rights, or amendments 1-10). And they want to take these rights away equally, from black, white, brown, yellow, pink and purple.

Freedom, folks. That's what it all boils down to. Freedom. Rand Paul is sticking up for the very document that made this country great, and they DO NOT LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CONTROL YOU LIKE A FREAKIN ROBOT! You aren't a robot. You are an American. You were born free. Now go out there and act like it.

That's my rant for today. Thank you for reading.
