The paul effect

It is truly appauling listening to some of these politicians speak when they are truly showing what they are made of. Since watching the rachel maddow show 2 days ago i have come to see rand paul in a different light not as a racist but a person living in a bubble. For all the certification he might of accumulated during his college attendance he is still living in the past.Be it the 1950 that he is still stuck in not in body but in his mind that he like his father before him think discrimanation is alright in a free world.'
From watching him i see he is not the type of person that should be in washington working on legislation for our country. Even though i have no say in that because i am not in kentucky so i do not have a vote i urge them to vote democrat. We as a people can't afford to go back to a time when a minority could not eat in a white owned business. To a time when minorities we're beaten because of the color of their skin. Is this the type of world that senate candidate is speaking of this is his vision of the united states did he forget that in the declaration of indepedence it says we are all equal.
Even as i would like to condemned him by calling him a racist i will not because he is not. He's view of liberty for all is misguided and no matter what is said by myself or someone else theres no changing it. My only problem is what does he think does he see minorities as inferior since white folks are the majority. A racist no but his ideas and thoughts on how the united states should be towards civil rights is despicable.
Is this the type of person the republican party wish to adopt into their party someone with a bigoted point of view. Someone who does not agree with the desegragation of private business because it goes against the first amendment. As he tried to defend his argument he turned it into a fight for a 2nd amendment stand for people who want to carry guns. In my mind i wonder what is he talking about since it was obvious he was not going to respond to direct questioning from rachel. Throughout the segment it was obvious that those ideals iss what he stands for and it was only when he appeared on conservative talk radio when he felt comfortable.
The next day all he did slip back from one stance to another when confronted with questioning about his stance on the civil rights act of 1964. Then to top it off fox news brings in someone to back up doctor rand paul another libertarian thinker who feels like minorities should be segregated away from white folks.
As a liberal i do wish that government come in to stop things like discrimanation because this is a free country. Have these folks forgotten that have they read the constitution or they just go by that part or just see it as a typo.
Doctor paul trying to be the big oil company hero today saying the u.s. is being too tough on bp.Does this man ever use his brain or does he just talk without ever bringing logic to his words just runs his mouth like a kid.
After all this it is obvious that his view is no where near where mine is so to that degree i leave it there for future discussion.
