Why Ashleigh Kenny Matters


Meet Ashleigh Kenny. She’s a student at Valdosta State University in South Georgia. She presented Congressman Jack Kingston with a t-shirt that said “R.I.P. The U.S. Constitution” on one side and on the other side had a this quote from Ronald Reagan: “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

Oliver Willis, a real activist, i.e. subsidized by a Hungarian billionaire, put up a post on his website saying Congressman Kingston was, in posing with Ashleigh and her t-shirt, “embracing the fringe.”

They he let his commenters have at Ashleigh. A sample:

She’s also pregnant with her cousin’s child (they got married after the first one) and gives those Tee shirts away at the local strip club where she works (to avoid the military service which might pay for her education).

That’s one of the less crude ones.

And this is what unknown people who care about this country and believe Barack Obama is sending us down a terrible road are being subjected to. They are beaten up by SEIU thugs, savaged on blogs, and ridiculed on MSNBC. All they did was show up at a townhall and express their opposition to socialized medicine.

Ashleigh has written a response to the vitriol she’s been subjected to. I put it below the fold. Remember Ashleigh Kenny. She is not alone. Like the rest of us here, she fights for freedom.
