Residents of Kentucky need to look hard at anyone laying claim to a Tea Party label, as many pretenders have emerged, which has undermined the vibrancy of the movement and resulted in watering down the message, as it has been blended with other elements not representative of what those of the Tea Party believe.
That's the way we must approach Louisville businessman Matthew Bevin, who is being touted as a Tea Party alternative to incumbent Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.
The term Tea Party is being too loosely used at this time, and embracing the label does nothing to prove a person embraces the core beliefs of the movement.
We must realize the media in big cities in Kentucky are liberal, as they mostly are in all big cities of America. So when they anoint someone as a viable candidate representing the Tea Party, we must be resistant to the assertion and examine carefully the beliefs and character of the individual they're trying to foist on us.
For Bevin, he may or may not be a legitimate Tea Party candidate, but the liberal media outlets want so badly to rid Kentucky of McConnell, they'll do just about anything to disrupt the process and if they can, divide the Republican Party.
The Democrats are also attempting to do the same thing, disingenuously offering financial support for a Tea Party challenger to McConnell. Again, this is a way to attempt to divide the loyalties of the Republican Party so the terrible and ultra liberal Ashley Judd has a chance to become a Senator from Kentucky.
While I'm not a particular fan of Mitch McConnell, give me ten of him before an Ashley Judd, who would vote against and misrepresent the vast majority of Kentucky citizens. She's aggressively and unashamedly back Obama, and there is very little those of us in Kentucky agree with concerning the policies and ideology of this president. Judd is just as bad or worse.
In regard to Bevin, concerns have already been raised over his use of state funds in Connecticut to rebuild a factory he owned that burnt in a fire last year.
United Kentucky Tea Party’s John Kemper asked the question, “Would this business owner taking taxpayer money to rebuild his business after a fire be considered to support limited government, free-markets, fiscal responsibility? What happened to his business insurance coverage?”
That's not to say Bevin's couldn't emerge as a strong candidate, just that we all must weigh whether he really embraces Tea Party and Kentucky values, or he's a Trojan Horse propped up to fall if he were to dislodge McConnell, but be trounced by an anti-Kentuckian liberal like Ashley Judd.
This doesn't just relate to Bevin, but to any potentially strong Tea Party candidate that emerges.
We need to hear a lot more than a label being attached to someone before we consider them someone who truly represents our values and beliefs.

Liberal, Fading New York Times Selling Boston Globe
For those that don't think liberalism is dying, all you have to do is look towards the liberal America's paper - the New York Times - to see that to be a fact.
The dying newspaper has sold the paper it owned in Florida, along with its share of the Boston Red Sox, and now it has put up the Boston Globe for sell, suggesting its prime time has now long passed, and only the slow, painful death of an increasingly irrelevant news outlet remains.
As usual, the Times attempted to cover up and confuse those reading the story, but it can't be hidden that in the end, they're desperate to unload the Boston Globe after failing to find a buyer in 2009. The only positive thing is the Times received concessions from the unions, but other than that, the Globe is as bad as the New York Times is; both in quality and economically.
In order to draw attention away from the terrible business and paper the Boston Globe is, the Times has for several years tried to make it look like the Globe was doing okay. It's obviously not.
What is all of this about? The New York Times is dying. The reason they're offloading assets is to extend its life as long as it can. That's creates the illusion everything is okay in Times land, when it is entering stage four cancer.
Why this is great for those who aren't liberals, is much of their political influence comes from their control of the local papers. The slow death of these large papers and their smaller counterparts is terrific news for those looking to end the evil of progressive, liberals, and when they lose this leg of their influence, we'll see a positive result for America.
One of the other legs they stand on is education, but that is being undermined as well, not only with home and private schools, but with the outrageous benefit packages that accompany the profession. We'll see all of that start to weaken as well.
Print media is dying in general, but the liberal papers in particular are struggling more than their counterparts. The days of media control is fading from the grasp of the arrogant and elite, and that will make America and other nations better in the long run. May it swiftly happen to the Times.
