Asked by Rachel Maddow (MSNBC) if private businesses have the right to refuse service to Black people, Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Rand Paul stated, "Yes." (NY Times, "Tea Party Pick Causes Uproar on Civil Rights," May 21, 2010)
Embraced by the Tea Party in Kentucky and nationally, Paul won the GOP senate primary in KY.
During the campaign, Rand Paul also stated:
- the mandatory retirement age for Social Security ought to be raised to 70
- the Americans with Disabilities Act (signed into law by President George H.W. Bush) is probably illegal.
So, according to GOP / Tea Party Candidate Rand Paul:
1. Americans ought to be required to work to age 70
2. businesses do not have to accommodate employees or customers with disabilities
3. Lester Maddox was right and Martin Luther King, Jr was wrong.
That's three strikes - in Kentucky and everywhere.
