Libertarian Party of KY — Fayette County

@Minniemystik @Mario_Cross_ @RandyEBarnett The shooting of Trayvon Martin was justified as it was self defense. Obama's statement, while seeming empathetic, papered over the reality of what happened in favor of a false narrative which worsened race relations.

@FayetteLPKY @Mario_Cross_ @RandyEBarnett It just so happens to favor one “tribe” 99% of the time. It’s also quite telling how you see an empathetic statement towards a kid who had just died as “sowing racial discord” and not the literal shooting and antagonism from the supporters supporters…

If Obama had a son, he’d attack the White House Correspondents Dinner like Cole Allen.

I'm aware that that's how men are, but men are also capable of self-control. As someone who's gay (secretary), I just entreat other gay men to order their sexual behaviors towards bonding. Yes they will still be more promiscuous than heterosexuals without women to apply the brakes, but I reckon that they can become significantly less promiscuous than currently while also being more emotionally fulfilled because sex is just better when it is grounded in love.

Chlamydia, crabs, scabies twice I tested positive for syphilis antibodies, meaning the virus entered my bloodstream at some point, but probably my immune system dealt with it at the time. I was treated for it anyway, just in case Viruses will inevitably evolve, and medicine will always be in a race to keep up, but the biological reality of male behaviour is a constant factor. Men are evolutionarily programmed to spread their seed far and wide. In heterosexual dynamics, women’s selectivity acts as a natural brake, but in gay circles, that constraint isn’t there. ​The world has to accept that this drive isn’t going to change. There's no point complaining about it, any more than complaining that very few men are interested in a career as a seamstress. That's just how men are

As a gay Christian I do believe that God made gay people, I’ve wrestled with Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13. My take: the text was written by ancient heterosexual men in a patriarchal culture (male heterosexual aversion to male homosexuality played a role), and it was deliberately separating Israel from pagan temple practices that included male shrine prostitution. Beyond that, the Holiness Code was about national survival in a high-mortality world—procreation mattered for covenant continuity. It upheld God’s creation order (male/female complementarity from Genesis 1–2), preserved honor-shame gender roles, and protected ritual purity so God’s presence could dwell among the people. Ancient authors didn’t have our modern concept of sexual orientation; they condemned specific male-male penetrative acts within Israel’s call to be visibly holy. Additionally, I see why male homosexuality can trend toward higher promiscuity: two men lack the “gatekeeper” dynamic straight men face with women. Data from CDC/NSFG studies back this—gay men report significantly more partners on average (often 2–6× higher lifetime medians). Scholars like Roy Baumeister (Sexual Economics Theory) explain it: male sex drives are higher and less selective without that counterbalance. Post-Stonewall culture and apps like Grindr amplified it, though many gay men form stable, monogamous bonds. This is why the David & Jonathan story resonates so deeply with us. Their soul-knitting love, covenant before God, loyal kisses and tears, and David’s line (“your love to me was more wonderful than that of women”) paint a beautiful picture of holy male commitment. It’s not explicitly sexual, but it models two men rejecting chaos and promiscuity, upholding covenant fidelity, and strengthening their nation—exactly the blessing I believe God honors. What draws me even more strongly to the Bible is Jesus Himself. He embraced, interacted with, and forgave sinners in ways that scandalized the Jewish leaders of His day. Jesus never once condemned homosexuality itself. It’s reasonable to assume that “gay” men of that era—already rejected by their society—would have flocked to His message of radical love and grace. I can picture them finding forgiveness and peace by casting aside promiscuity in exchange for a covenant relationship with another man rooted in faithful, holy love—just as the gospel calls all of us to transformation. Bottom line: Scripture legislates behavior for human flourishing in its ancient context. Orientation may be given, but we’re all called to faithfulness, self-control, and covenant love (Gal 5:22–23). David & Jonathan show that two men can love each other deeply, commit wholly, and be blessed. Jesus shows us how. Thoughtful faith means holding both the text and lived reality with honesty.

I already alluded to them not being as much of an issue due to medicine. Wait which ones have you had? And even though medicine has taken care of you, this behavior among gay men doesn't seem particularly pro-social since it helps to speed up disease mutation and proliferation. And no I'm not exercising selective judgement. Those who don't manage their diet and exercise aren't being pro-social because the effects of obesity on their health saddle the rest of us with higher costs through premiums.

@FayetteLPKY @JoeGayHistorian STIs are no longer a serious problem. I've had 5 including chlamydia, all sorted with modern medicine Even HIV is no longer the death sentence it was So that part of the bible is redundant and can be disregarded

@prolibertypod Okay, boomer!

People will literally post “I hate capitalism” from a $900 iPhone while drinking a $5 latte from Starbucks and wearing designer clothes.

@frandalorian @aidannonx Completely agree, males and females should be educated separately, but age groups should be educated together. The current system has that exactly backwards.

@aidannonx Boys and Girls should not be educated together.

I was on drugs when I scored higher than everyone else in my school on my ACT, and I wasnt far off from Ivy league scores, i just didnt study my math portion The idea women are better is a function of straight men not caring

@BirdingBobNYC @RandyEBarnett What Obama did was pour coals on the fire of that racialized incident that, at the end of the day, was a justified shooting by a violent teenager. If Obama could have stuck to the facts instead of emboldening the racial narrative, race relations would be a lot better off.

@FayetteLPKY @RandyEBarnett What Obama said does not provoke racial discord. My goodness, any further of a kid who did stupid/wrong things understands this statement. "There but for the grace of God go I" -

@MotownDR @RandyEBarnett What Obama did was pour coals on the fire of that racialized incident that, at the end of the day, was a justified shooting by a violent teenager. If Obama could have stuck to the facts instead of emboldening the racial narrative, race relations would be a lot better off.

@FayetteLPKY @RandyEBarnett Oh and fck you too. Why is it racial discord, for Pres Obama to publicly embrace a murdered child left on a slab for days because he didn't matter? If an Irish Amer President said it about an Irish kid, no one would bat an eye. Fck off

@TheAuthorGuy @RandyEBarnett What Obama did was pour coals on the fire of that racialized incident that, at the end of the day, was a justified shooting by a violent teenager.

@FayetteLPKY @RandyEBarnett What Obama did was empathy. The truth is, if Obama had a son, he probably WOULD have looked like Travon Martin. Look at pictures of them. He was relating to the parents of a dead child, not being a racist little bitch like this mook. This is not a both sides thing.

This should absolutely be the starting point, and we can move forwards with a more mutual allyship going forwards (sharing intel/techniques like you said). American funds to *any* foreign countries (including aid to other foreign countries) should be re-evaluated. Toxic charity is a real phenomenon which often increases dependency of developing countries (not Israel) on developed countries and even feeds a certain level of corruption. Combine that with the brain drain of our immigration system, and we're doing the developing world no favors in the long run.

America should end aid to Israel, but not abandon Israel. Israel is strong enough to be treated like a real ally, not a dependent client. Keep the alliance. Keep the intelligence sharing. Keep the military cooperation. End the allowance.

Let's do the former. We have an opportunity to craft a responsible phase-out plan which doesn't hang 50+ year olds out to dry but gives those who are younger an honest expectation of what they can expect (or not expect) in their retirement. @antonydavies and @JamesRHarrigan have discussed this on many an occasion.

It bears repeating that BART installed tall gates to enter the subway and they're gaining $10m in revenue a year plus the need for maintenance is down by *95.7%* Passengers who were unwilling to pay a few bucks were causing 96% of the public cleanliness problems! Pay the fare.

Delusional

@EdwardDOUG93817 @nickgillespie @RandyEBarnett I didn't dispute what Nick shared, just trying to analyze as charitably as possible what he was going for with that post. With snowflakes on the left and the right, it would seem that libertarians should set an example of dispassionate engagement and even pushing the envelope.

@FayetteLPKY @nickgillespie @RandyEBarnett You're wrong. He tweeted exactly as Nick put it.

Jesus fucking christ, @RandyEBarnett.

@VeeDub1999 @nickgillespie @RandyEBarnett And you on the other hand said very little to say that you're thick, or emotional, or both.

@FayetteLPKY @nickgillespie @RandyEBarnett You said a lot of words that don’t mean anything

@Mario_Cross_ @RandyEBarnett Because we try to model an approach of truth-seeking no matter what tribes it favors. Some do this by trampling over sacred cows while others get wonky, and these disagreements can even be aired publicly without implying that we're not part of the same party.

@FayetteLPKY @RandyEBarnett Why do Libertarians think it’s okay to post on their official party accounts like it’s their burners?

@CodyLibolt What is nationism?

*I advocate "nationism" and reject "nationalism." Do you disagree? Find me any prominent self-described "nationalist" who believes in inalienable individual rights.

Before Monty Python's "Life of Brian" became a classic, @JohnCleese told me it was radioactive. No studio wanted to touch it. Enter George Harrison, who had the means, taste, and spine to make sure it existed. Free expression and comedy need that courage.

@JamesRHarrigan @RandyEBarnett Don't we all? I for one am kept sane by Words & Numbers.😁

@FayetteLPKY @RandyEBarnett I think Randy needs to take a vacation from X for a while.

WTF, @RandyEBarnett?
