“Being a citizen of this State, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons within this State nor out of it, nor have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God.” Oath of office from the Kentucky State Constitution
Hey! What could be better press to get that Tea Party primary vote than shooting a woman in a duel. A liberal lesbian woman!
As to the legality of it, Rand Paul does not hold a state office so the only question is WHERE is he going to shoot Rachel Maddow? I would guess that duels are only legal in countries run by theocracies. Duels, beheadings, stoning, limbs chopped off, hangings, executions and suicide terrorism are for the most part in the realm of religion. Strike that MOST PART…
If you were not aware there is not only a fight going on in the GOP between the Tea Party and the moderates, but also between Tea Party leaders. The most prominent Tea Party leaders, who own their election win to it, are Rand Paul and Ted Cruz who are now at war with one another which is getting personal.
It seems Ted Cruz is pushing Rand Paul out of the 2016 race for president. Mr Cruz is an evangelical fundamentalist born again Christian with a father who is one of the most intolerant bigoted evangelical Christian pastors in America.
On the other hand Rand Paul is an evangelical fundamentalist born again Christian whose father is a bigoted, racist evangelical fundamentalist born again Christian. But Rand Paul is seen as drifting from the hardcore religious intolerance by speaking out against drones, war, and spying. Rand is basing his presidential run on winning over the young and does not dwell on hating gays and shooting doctors in the back. Well just this week he did compare a woman’s right to an abortion to NAZI eugenics. Kind of soft when it comes to Tea Party politics.
BTW, the Tea Party says they are all about the debt. The only effective way of solving that problem is a mix of raising taxes and cutting program, So that’s their pitch, right? No? Why are they all so old and white you think? And what does that have to do with anything?
Just the other day Rand Paul had to suffer some hard questioning as to if he is intolerant enough for the Tea Party. He was forced to state unequivocally that “I am a born again Christian.” Which means like any BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN his primary allegiance is not to his Country, the Constitution or even his family, but to an invisible flying “something or other.” And as you know, throughout all of recorded history people have been killing each other by millions as to just what that “something or other” is or is not.
