It’s all worth reading, but I’d like to address this part –
In a 2004 statement condemning the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Paul laid out his doctrinaire libertarian opposition. “[T]he forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty,” he wrote. “The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners to use their property as they please and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties.”
The idea that the 1964 Civil Rights Act increased racial tensions is itself a racist statement. There was plenty of racial tension before the civil rights era; it’s just that it was mostly just racial minorities who were tense.
Paul views every individual as completely autonomous, and he is incapable of imagining any force other than government power that could infringe upon their actual liberty. White people won’t hire you? Then go form a contract with somebody else. Government intervention can only make things worse.
The same holds true of Paul’s view of sexual harassment. In his 1987 book, he wrote that women who suffer sexual harassment should simply go work somewhere else: “Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity. Why don’t they quit once the so-called harassment starts?” This reaction also colored his son Rand Paul’s response to sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain, which was to rally around Cain and grouse that he can’t even tell jokes around women anymore.
The comment threads are, as usually, full of people defending Ron Paul and saying that discrimination is not a POLIICAL issue unless government does it. What’s missing from this is any connection to the real world, to the actual lived experience of racism and sexism in our culture, and the way a majority faction can use local and state government to impose their bigotry, even to the point of allowing some people to get away with murdering other people. African Americans in many parts of the U.S. were not just being discriminated against; they lived under a literal reign of terror.
Ron Paul 1. He wants to repeal the Civil Rights Act. 2. He's also against the Americans With Disabilities Act. 3. He is against public health care. 4. He wants to dissolve the public education system. 5. He thinks global warming is a hoax. 6. He doesn't believe in evolution. 7. He's against federal safety standards. 8. He is radically pro-life. 9. He wants to do away with all foreign aid. 10. He would pull out of the United Nations. 11. He's against the minimum wage. 12. He is a gun nut. 13. He believes we're waging a war against Christmas. 14. He wants to get rid of income tax. 15. He voted to build a fence along the border with Mexico. 16. He's against the Occupational Health and Safety Act. 17. He wants to U.S. to seize control of the Panama Canal. 18. He thinks interstate highways are unconstitutional. 19. He seems pretty homophobic to us. 20. And he seems pretty racist too.

.. reposted .. each expanded, with links inside the little red umbrella .. Zardiw, ooi, how many of the above are among the reasons you support Ron Paul? Which of them do you agree with?
We know you are a racist. What else? Suggest you read and consider the one below, too.
"The stronger version of this argument, advanced by Paul himself, is that racism is not irrelevant to his ideology, but that his ideology absolves him of racism. “Libertarians are incapable of being racist,” he has said, “because racism is a collectivist idea, you see people in groups.” Most libertarians may not take the argument quite as far as Paul does — many probably acknowledge that it is possible for a libertarian to hold racist views — but it does help explain their belief that racism simply has no relation to the rest of Paul’s beliefs. They genuinely see racism as a belief system that expresses itself only in the form of coercive government power. In Paul’s world, state-enforced discrimination is the only kind of discrimination. A libertarian by definition opposes discrimination because libertarians oppose the state. He cannot imagine social power exerting itself through any other form."
.. have you read it yet? .. Paul's ideological blockhead belief that Libertarians are not capable of racism? .. that individual Libertarians are not capable of racism? .. does that make any sense at all to you?
This killer had weird ideas about discrimination, too ..
Note: Suspect wanted to kill at least one officer
"It’s not clear why Paul Ciancia targeted the agency, but the note found in his duffel bag suggested the 23-year-old unemployed motorcycle mechanic was willing to kill almost any officer he could confront with his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
“Black, white, yellow, brown, I don’t discriminate,” the note read, according to a paraphrase by a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
In 2008, Ron Paul's presidential campaign sent shock waves through the political establishment and sparked a revolution of ideas. Dr. Paul just came in a close second place in the Iowa Straw Poll and his campaign is surging. Revolutions do not occur overnight, but having Ron Paul back on the national stage will continue to spread his message of freedom, limited government and an end to the Federal Reserve system. Ron Paul is officially a frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2012. However, the media is ignoring this and supporting establishment neo-cons like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry. Make your voice heard and support Dr. Paul in 2012.
