WHO IS RAND PAUL?
Dr. Rand Paul has been married for 19 years to the former Kelley Ashby, who is originally from Russellville, Kentucky. Rand and Kelley have three sons: William, 17; Duncan, 13; and Robert, 10.
Dr. Paul and his family live in Bowling Green, where Rand has practiced medicine and performed eye surgery for 17 years. Rand owns his own ophthalmology practice, which employs 3 full-time staff members.
Dr. Paul is the third of five children born to Carol and Ron Paul. He grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas and attended Baylor University. He graduated from Duke Medical School in 1988. Dr. Paul completed a general surgery internship at Georgia Baptist Medical Center in Atlanta and completed his residency in ophthalmology at Duke University Medical Center. Upon completion of his training in 1993, Rand and Kelley moved to Bowling Green to start their family and begin his ophthalmology practice.
In 1995, Rand founded the Southern Kentucky Lions Eye Clinic, an organization that provides eye exams and surgery to needy families and individuals. Rand is a former president and 17 year member of Lions Clubs International, which is dedicated to preserving sight by providing eyeglasses and surgery to the less fortunate around the world. In recognition of his outstanding and sustained efforts to provide vision care to Kentuckians in need, Lions Clubs International has awarded Rand many of its highest commendations, including:
■Melvin Jones Fellow Award for Dedicated Humanitarian Services, Lions Club International Foundation
■Lion of the Year Award, Bowling Green Lions
■President’s Award, Bowling Green Lions
■Fines E. Davis Fellow Award for Dedicated Humanitarian Service, Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation
■Governors Appreciation Award for Sight Conservation, Lions Club International
In addition to his work with the Lions Clubs, Dr. Paul has provided free eye surgery to children from around the world through his participation in the Children of the Americas Program.
A large part of Rand’s daily work is dedicated to preserving the vision of our seniors. In 2002, The Twilight Wish Foundation recognized Rand for Outstanding Service and Commitment to Seniors.
In 1993, Dr. Rand Paul founded the Kentucky Taxpayers United (KTU) in an effort to better inform all Kentuckians on how their elected officials were voting on key spending and taxation issues. KTU is a non-partisan citizens watchdog group dedicated to rating the state legislature’s tax honesty. Rand’s work with KTU has helped to promote the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, which commits legislators to keeping their promises regarding income tax increases.
Rand is a devoted husband and father. He regularly volunteers to coach teams for each of his three sons in Little League baseball, soccer, and basketball. Rand and Kelley have been members of The Presbyterian Church since 1993, where Kelley currently serves as a Deacon. Rand Paul is a hard-working, dedicated physician, not a career politician. His entrance into politics is indicative of his life’s work: a desire to diagnose problems and provide practical solutions.

BAILOUTS
Dr. Paul opposes all federal bailouts of private industry. America is the land of opportunity, to succeed and to fail. It’s time our government starts promoting responsibility. (View Video | Read More)
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Defending our Country is the most important function of the federal government. When we are threatened, it is the obligation of our representatives to unleash the full arsenal of power that is granted by and derived from free men and women. (View Video | Read More)
INFLATION
And every dollar we print to service our debt, reduces the value of the money in your pocket. Rand will fight to strengthen the value of our Dollar so our purchasing power is not destroyed by the sneakiest tax of all: inflation. (View Video | Read More)
TAXES & DEBT
Lowering taxes gives working men and women the ability to take control of their own lives. It allows business owners to invest in their companies, pay their employees, and create new jobs. Lower taxes encourages spending, saving, and investing – all necessary for a healthy economy. (View Video | Read More)
TERM LIMITS
Long term incumbency leads to politicians who seem to care more about what is best for their career than what is best for their country. (Read More)
PRIVACY & LIBERTY
The Federal Government must return to its constitutionally enumerated powers and restore our inalienable rights. America can prosper, preserve personal liberty, and repel national security threats without intruding into the personal lives of its citizens. (Read More)
SOVEREIGNTY
Let’s not give up our rights to those who don’t share the same respect for our history and our freedoms. The US Government must answer only to the Constitution and the citizens protected by it. (Read More)
VETERANS
The men and women of our armed services deserve to be treated like the heroes that they are. No other group of federal employees is subject to such unfair treatment as our service men and women; and no other deserves the best. (Read More)
HOMESCHOOLING
Rand proposes to restore the parental right to be responsible in educating children. He supports reduced taxes so that parents can allocate more of their own funds to homeschooling, if they so desire. (Read More)
GUNS & POLITICIANS
How many politicians claim they are supporters of the 2nd amendment and then vote to restrict handguns? We need to send people to Washington that not only understand the 2nd amendment but the entire Bill of Rights. (View Video | Read More)
ENERGY INNOVATION
If we leave our energy policy to the special interests in Washington, we will never solve our energy problems. Our energy crisis stems from too much government intervention. The solution requires allowing businesses and ideas to compete. (Read More)
FEDERAL RESERVE
Given this incredible power given to a semi-private institution, one wonders why we don’t hear more about the Fed and its actions from the Congress. As Senator I would make sure that the Federal Reserve is held accountable and restore transparency to our monetary system. (Read More)
HEALTH CARE
As a doctor I have had first-hand experience with the vast problems facing health care in America. Like other areas of the economy where the federal government wields its heavy hand, health care is over-regulated and in need of serious market reforms. As Senator, I would ensure that real free market principles are applied to fix this problem. (Read More)
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
Last year, over 15,000 individuals worked for organizations whose sole goal was to rip you off. No, not the mafia or Goldman Sachs, but another distinctly criminal class—Washington lobbyists. In 2008, corporations and unions spent over $3 billion to bribe officials who claim to work for you. (Read More)
ABORTION
Dr. Paul believes life begins at conception. He recognizes the most basic function of government is to protect life. It is unconscionable that government would facilitate the taking of innocent life. Dr. Paul opposes any federal funding for abortion. (Read More)
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Dr. Paul does not support amnesty. Those who come here should respect our laws. Dr. Paul supports legal immigration and recognizes that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. (Read More)

This is why I am sending him money.
LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!
-
Part 1.
i'm going to send him the max before this is all said and done.
-
-
He's got a lot of up side. No question. Still a little wet behind the ears but I am willing to give him his shot just like I did Obama for 6 months... That is until he proved us all wrong.
-
333, I am also a big Rand supporter. A libertarian/republican and a smart, logical doc.
He is more mainstream then his dad too, less radical with isolation foreign policy issues and more marketable. Definitely a rising star in US politics.
-
This whole clip shows EXACTLY why Rachel Maddow gets no ratings.If it was a fight they would have stopped it.He DESTROYED her and she kept trying to upset him but he just pummeled her.
This is what this little nit wit ALWAYS does.She has a group like F.A.I.R on there and paints them as racists because a couple of people said things SHE didnt agree with.However,her idol Obama sat in a racist church for twenty freaking years and that would NEVER EVER make him a racist in her blinded eyes.
-
Here is what I dont understand.Her argument is that the government should step in if a private buisiness discriminates.I wonder if she feels the congressional black caukus should allow whites in there if a white wanted in.I wonder if she thinks a black run buisiness should be allowed to discriminate against whites.
Like Paul said,its tricky issue.Because on the one hand Im 100% for a private buisinss doing what it wants.However if that buisiness decides to discriminate,would the government then be allowed to say no police could be called to that buisiness or firefighters etc.since it wants to put in rules that violate federal law?
If they were totally private it would seem fine to allow them to do what they want.But because we use public streets to get their buisiness,use public police if there is trouble,is a private buisiness ever really private?
But then you get into a discussion then can you even say "I dont want blacks in my house" or does government trump that as well.
Paul is a thinker,Maddow is an emotional moron who only sees racism behinf every issue.Paul thinks there should be a discussion but Maddow is an idiot who cant think or have discussions.

LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME.. ::)
-
Go donate $ $ $ to ZERO. He is going to need it after the rest of us taxpayers take back this nation from the communists.
-
He sounds good.
I wasn't quite clear on his view of the Civil Rights Act and whether private businesses that provide services to the public should be allowed to discriminate. If that's his position, I disagree. I don't view private business the same as private clubs/schools from a discrimination standpoint.
-
He is saying that public places there is no issue, but on a private matter, its a complex debate considering that it conflicted with other amendements tot he Constitution.
The typical lib dolt and emotionally driven fag cant understand the argument he is giving.
-
LMAO how straw can think this woman is brilliant is beyond me...how can she not see that if she argues the point she is arguing then logically it leads to debates such as gun rights and private businesses?
-

Thats the point.Where does it end?Can the government then say you must allow minorities in your house?Your car?What is really YOURS?Or does the government trump all private rights?

I think he said places with public funding should not discriminate, but that private businesses should be allowed to do so.
-
Why should the govt tell "minorities" they have to cater to me?
I am with Paul 100000000% on this.
Next week i'll send him more $ $ $. The time is coming.

Do you disagree with this?
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION in the operation of public accommodations, such as restaurants and lodgings, affects interstate commerce by impeding interstate travel and is prohibited by the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 (codified in scattered sections of 42 U.S.C.A.). In Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States, 379 U.S. 241, 85 S. Ct. 348, 13 L. Ed. 2d 258 (1964), a local motel owner had refused to accept black guests. He argued that since his motel was a purely local operation, Congress exceeded its authority in legislating as to whom he should accept as guests. The U.S. Supreme Court held that the authority of Congress to promote interstate commerce encompasses the power to regulate local activities of interstate commerce, in both the state of origin and the state of destination, when those activities would otherwise have a substantial and harmful effect upon the interstate commerce. The Court concluded that in this case, the federal prohibition of racial discrimination by motels serving travelers was valid, as interstate travel by blacks was unduly burdened by the established discriminatory conduct.

TRENDING: Paul takes heat for Civil Rights comments
Posted: May 20th, 2010 12:00 PM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Paul is facing fire for comments on the Civil Rights Act.
Paul is facing fire for comments on the Civil Rights Act.
(CNN) - Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway is putting the heat on GOP rival Rand Paul over Paul's recent comments regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Paul - the Tea Party favorite who easily beat Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the state's May 18 Senate primary - repeatedly dodged questions in recent media interviews about whether he thinks parts of the landmark legislation amount to a constitutional overreach.
An interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal last month highlighted Paul's controversial views during which he said: "I don't like the idea of telling private business owners-I abhor racism-I think it's a bad business decision to ever exclude anybody from your restaurant. But at the same time I do believe in private ownership. But I think there should be absolutely no discrimination on anything that gets any public funding and that's most of what the Civil Rights Act was about to my mind."
Following his primary victory on Tuesday, Paul was again questioned over his views regarding the legislation on National Public Radio and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. In response to questions, Paul said he supports the 46-year old measure except for the provisions that outlaw private businesses from discriminating on the basis of race.
While stressing that he is opposed to discrimination in any form, Paul suggested the measure runs up against individuals' First Amendment and property rights.
"I think what's important in this debate is not getting into any specific 'gotcha' on this, but asking the question 'What about freedom of speech?' Should we limit speech from people we find abhorrent? Should we limit racists from speaking? I don't want to be associated with those people, but I also don't want to limit their speech in any way in the sense that we tolerate boorish and uncivilized behavior because that's one of the things that freedom requires," he said.

Great, I can't wait for this debate.
The Ron Paul wing is coming forward and is ready for this battle.
-

I'm not sure a contest is really similar to a motel, restaurant, etc. (e.g., a contest doesn't really engage in interstate commerce), but I do think they should get rid of race-exclusive contests.

This is really amusing.Let me get this straight.Paul said he would have wanted a debate on the issue and the left dubs him a racist.Obama sits in a church for twenty years listening to rev. Wright,wrote a book based on his sermon,said he couldnt throw wright under the bus and NONE of that makes Obama a racist.Even when Wright said the reason he doesnt see Obama in the white house is because "dem jews wont let me see him".[which was just another example of his racism].NONE of that points to Obama being a racist,but Paul,because he said he would have wanted a debate on the issue is a racist.WOW!!!!!!!!!!

TO BEACH BUM,THE CONTEST HAS MONEY PRIZES AND IS A BUISINESS.
I guess you can make an argument that a beauty contest engages in interstate commerce because women compete from different states for money.
I wonder if any woman has ever tried to compete in one of those contests and was precluded based on race? Although you'd have to wonder why, for example, a Hispanic woman would try and compete in the Cherry Blossom contest (Asian).

Like it helped Ron Paul? Ron Paul is pretty underground. Unless either of them are running a resistance movement, I'd imagine they'd be better focusing their energies elsewhere. I respect your right to your opinion.
-
BILLY - dont confuse Danny with reality.
riiiiiight.....like you would know anything about reality. ::) You keep calling everybody who doesn't share your far right point of view a communist, socialist..heck probably even fascist, basically pushing your own opinion and trying to make people AGREE with it,regardless how stupid, ignorant, divisive and extreme it is. Let me tell you something, that is EXACTLY how communists used to work, that was their MO, for somebody who uses the word "communist" as much as you do, you certainly associate your behaviour with their basic principle, which is "it's either the way the communist party says it is or you're a traitor". Pretty ironic....isn't it?? ;D

By the way,I think they should be allowed to keep others out.Paul is simply saying he would have liked to have had a discussion.Even the farthest lib would have to admit its a sticky issue.Where do private rights start and government rights take over.

I don't think it's all that complicated. I like the public accommodations, interstate commerce limitation. That still allows a private school, private club, etc. to do whatever they want, so long as they don't get government funds.
Paul ought to leave this issue alone, because it will only become a major distraction.

Ok Danny, I have been nice so far. Since apparently you and your fellow traveling liberal morons refused to do any homework on the pofs traitorous communist radical you voted for in 2008, I will help you out. Tell me when you want to cry uncle. Here is obama admitting he sought out the marxist profressors in college.

Not sure if this has been posted or not -
In a May 30, 2002, letter to the Bowling Green Daily News, Paul's hometown newspaper, he criticized the paper for endorsing the Fair Housing Act, and explained that "a free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin." (Hat tip: Page One Kentucky.)
"The Daily News ignores," wrote Paul, "as does the Fair Housing Act, the distinction between private and public property. Should it be prohibited for public, taxpayer-financed institutions such as schools to reject someone based on an individual's beliefs or attributes? Most certainly. Should it be prohibited for private entities such as a church, bed and breakfast or retirement neighborhood that doesn't want noisy children? Absolutely not."
In language similar to the language he's used talking about the Civil Rights Act, Paul criticized racism while defending the right of businesses to discriminate.
"A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination," wrote Paul, "even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin. It is unenlightened and ill-informed to promote discrimination against individuals based on the color of their skin. It is likewise unwise to forget the distinction between public (taxpayer-financed) and private entities."
-
I agree 100000000% with that KC. Rand is speaking the truth. It goes on all over country especially between blacks and hispanics.
We are supposed to free in this country and if i dont like you cause you are chinese - too fucking bad. You dont like me cuz i'm a wop - too bad for me.
Finally we have someone speaking the damn truth for once rather than the color by numbers left wing pap.

good donation 333386, you the man!

LMAO this whole issue is a distraction and wont work...he is not going to author legislation to this end and the only reason its in the news is b/c idiotic liberals bring it up for as he stated political talking points...
How long before ppl start calling him a racist? ill say 3 days
if he stays the course and doesnt stray he is going to win come november
-
you are three days too late tony. The marxists have already started to call him a racist.
-
Well the problem with that 333 is that all men are created equal according to the founding fathers. By that standard you can not discriminate against anyone else based on skin colour in the United States of America. Private does not mean 'above the law' you can not have a private murder club or rape club either.
-
Equality and Freedom are not the same thing.

You can have a private club that discriminates. That's why we still have things like the Augusta National Golf Club (men only).

hahaha according to the klan maybe but a real interpretation would be without equality you have no freedom.

You can have a private club that discriminates. That's why we still have things like the Augusta National Golf Club (men only).
Sexual segregation is still a legal and permissible thing. It is NOT the same as racial discrimination in the eyes of the law or the constitution.

So its ok to discriminate by sex, but not by race?

-
So its ok to discriminate by sex, but not by race?
In this country yes, according to the courts, yes. There are situations where discrimination against a sex is permissible. i.e. woman's only gyms or as beach brought up Augusta national golf club. This has been hashed out in courts of law 333 where have you been?
-
By the time this is all over, KC is going to concede the points made by Rand.

-
Really? Doesn't Title VII cover race and gender?
hahaha don't make me laugh. You just brought up Augusta as an example, they aren't legally required to allow females to join. You answered your own question with your previous post. Have they been forced to allow men? Are woman's only gyms forced to allow men? Give me a break. Are men legally allowed in female change rooms? I mean that's discrimination right there. Idiot. Seriously. Please think about this issue before you post.

By the time this is all over, KC is going to concede the points made by Rand.
what points? You can't discriminate based on race. The founding fathers were against it, the supreme court of this country is against it, you can not do it. Morally or legally. 8)

kc your going back and forth making a point in one instance that goes against the point you made in another post...
if you cant discriminate on the basis or race or sex...why can clubs be men only but clubs cant be white only?

Some info on Bob Jones University.
Bob Jones University v. United States (1983)
Rodeheaver AuditoriumOn January 19, 1976, the Internal Revenue Service notified the University that its tax exemption had been revoked retroactively to December 1, 1970. The school appealed the IRS decision all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the University met all other criteria for tax-exempt status and that the school's racial discrimination was based on sincerely held religious beliefs, that "God intended segregation of the races and that the Scriptures forbid interracial marriage." [95] The University was not challenged about the origin of its interracial dating policy, and the District Court accepted "on the basis of a full evidentiary record" BJU's argument that the rule was a sincerely held religious conviction, a finding affirmed by all subsequent courts.[96] In December 1978, the federal district court ruled in the University's favor; two years later, that decision was overturned by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On January 8, 1982, just before the case was to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, President Ronald Reagan authorized his Treasury and Justice Departments to ask that the BJU case be dropped and that the previous court decisions be vacated. Political pressure quickly brought the Reagan administration to reverse itself and to ask the Court to reinstate the case. Then, in a virtually unprecedented move, the Court invited William T. Coleman, Jr. to argue the government's position in an amicus curiae brief, thus ensuring that the prosecution's position would be the one the Court wished to hear.[97] The case was heard on October 12, 1982, and on May 24, 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Bob Jones University in Bob Jones University v. United States (461 U.S. 574). The University refused to reverse its interracial dating policy and (with difficulty) paid a million dollars in back taxes. Also, in the year following the Court decision, contributions to the University declined by 13 percent.[98]
[edit] Dropping the no-interracial-dating rule (2000)
In 2000, following a media uproar prompted by the visit of presidential candidate George W. Bush to the University, Bob Jones III abruptly dropped the interracial dating rule, announcing the change on CNN's "Larry King Live."[99] Five years later when asked for his view of the rule change, the current president, Stephen Jones, replied, "I've never been more proud of my dad than the night he...lifted that policy."[100]

what points? You can't discriminate based on race. The founding fathers were against it, the supreme court of this country is against it, you can not do it. Morally or legally. 8)
Bump for kcballer to comment on Bob Jones University.

What about La Raza?
NAACP?
Black Colleges?
Minority Scholarships?
Charities that give only to minorities and qualify for tax deductions as 501 C3?

More like a circus.

look...rand paul makes billy mimnaugh look like rosa parks on a sunday afternoon. Ill give him that.
still..he doesnt have "it" as a politician.
and by "it" i mean common sense.
Its amazing how quick he's marginalized himself. Lets cut the message board image here 33.
-
He is more mainstream then his dad too, less radical with isolation foreign policy issues and more marketable.
gonna go ahead and disagree bigtime.

Here is what I dont understand.Her argument is that the government should step in if a private buisiness discriminates.I wonder if she feels the congressional black caukus should allow whites in there if a white wanted in.I wonder if she thinks a black run buisiness should be allowed to discriminate against whites.
Like Paul said,its tricky issue.Because on the one hand Im 100% for a private buisinss doing what it wants.However if that buisiness decides to discriminate,would the government then be allowed to say no police could be called to that buisiness or firefighters etc.since it wants to put in rules that violate federal law?
If they were totally private it would seem fine to allow them to do what they want.But because we use public streets to get their buisiness,use public police if there is trouble,is a private buisiness ever really private?
But then you get into a discussion then can you even say "I dont want blacks in my house" or does government trump that as well.
Paul is a thinker,Maddow is an emotional moron who only sees racism behinf every issue.Paul thinks there should be a discussion but Maddow is an idiot who cant think or have discussions.
I don't really see why that's an issue? They're paying taxes like anyone else.

Go Rand Go!!!!!!
Rand is a great man, he doesn't seem to put (some) people off the way that his dad did.
I'd feel really great if I got the opportunity to vote for him for President.

I like this comment from HP:

The amount of partisan hackery on this forum is staggering. For eight years, the left rightly denounced Bush's assault on civil liberties and now that a guy with a D beside his name is in office and doing the same things we get silence at best and apologetics at worst and when a guy stands up to challenge it he gets denounced because he has a R beside his name. Just wow.

I'm pretty sure Rand is an automatic WIN in congress every time now.

When he ran originally, there were Rand Paul banners hanging from overpasses up and down I75 in Kentucky. People on facebook have been going nuts with the #standwithrand stuff.
I like that he's Ron Paul Lite... I would think he could attract almost all Republicans from MCWAY and Beach Bum types to people like me and Bindare. He's even got democratic followers.
