Here is a list of some of Rep. Andy Barr’s recent votes.
He voted “nay” to “The Active Shooter Alert Act” (an act alerting people of an active shooter event i.e., schools, churches, malls, etc.); “The Respect for Marriage Act” (the rights of same-sex and interracial couples to marry); “The Defense of Contraceptive Act” (the right for individuals to use contraceptives); an amendment to the “2023 National Defense Authorization Act” (NDAA) for monitoring white supremacists, neo-Nazis and extremists in the U.S. Military; “The Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act” (to prevent interference with a woman’s right to cross state lines to obtain an abortion); and “The Women’s Health Protection Act” (a woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion and to protect a health care provider’s ability to provide abortion services).
Because the Democrats have a majority in the House, those bills, assuring the rights of American people and/or protecting Americans from harm, were recently passed in the House. Through their actions, Democrat Representatives put in motion protective bills that exposed the hypocrisy of the Republicans. Ask yourself, “Which party will protect you and your rights?"
Charlie, seemingly your using a straw man fallacy, this time, by exaggerating ot mis representing someone’s argument to attack them. You think that everyone should have assault weapons to use on humans, to defend their families? From which humans Charlie? Others humans that have own assault weapons ? And Charlie, a five year old is a child and don’t have the full legal capacity of an adult until they are 18 . children are entitled to a safe environment, good nutrition, health care and education. My opinion Charlie ,is that’s creepy the way you you are denigrating a child in your fallaciousness .
Truth is, Barr hasn't really done anything more than make gestures towards the majority of his constituents during his 10 years in office. The major bills he has sponsored really serve the interests of his major campaign contributors, like financial institutions, at the expense of his constituents.
Mostly, Barr has encouraged the distrust of those in the opposite party, embraced stupid phrases like "tax and spend" (as though taxes are for saving), "death taxes", "war on coal", "faceless bureaucrats" (to denigrate civil servants), and "centralized planning" (to describe most efforts to solve social problems).
Andy Barr has not written a single piece of legislation to address any of the major problems we face (solvency of Medicare or Social Security, gun violence, climate change, immigration or deficit). Worse yet, bills he has co-sponsored don't help solve the problems, but tend to make them worse, while he votes NAY on every major bill that attempts to directly address these problems. We truly do need change in Washington and re-electing the same person whose only interest is in his own re-election isn't helping us.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.

I guess it depends on what rights we're talking about. The right to defend your family? Or the right for a 5 year old to choose their gender?

Truth is overrated!
Rights? Rights! We don’t need no stinkin’ “rights”! As long as we stick it to the Libtards, that’s all that matters!
Funny!

But Candy Barr really knows how to stick it to the Libtards. And that is all that matters to Bubba.
I agree with Ms. Fry's comments and plan to vote accordingly.
The answer to Ms Fry’s question is Democrats.
