hmmm. a very long post indeed, i would like to address some of the points.
i was unaware of his racist views. form the way he speaks and the message he preaches, i would not have guessed it.
i still think the idea is a good one however. i think peter shiff also explains why. to paraphrase him, to hire a black person causes undue baggage. if he's a bad worker, its tough to fire him without potentially being called racist. even if he is a good worker, if another employee makes a racial remark and he doesn't fire him, he (the employer) could be sued.
i agree somewhat with the premise of open employment. if i ran an internet company for example, i would be willing to hire anyone regardless of race, religion, etc. but if i ran a mosque, i wouldn't want a Christian preacher, or accountant.
as to the marriage law, i heard him speak on gay marriage on several occasions, again as far as I'm aware he's not against them marrying, just so long as its not a government issued license. (it can be a church or other organization issued.) he actually wants to do way with all government marriage licensing, from my understanding, so it's not like he's being prejudicial to gays there.
on the topic of immigration, he's just in favor of securing our borders; he doesn't mind legal immigration.
he wants us to pull out militarily from every country, not just Iraq and Afghanistan. he wants out of nato and the u.n. because several presidents have used u.n. and nato resolutions to declare war, instead of following the rule of law, which says he must go through congress.
on the topic of gold, he doesn't want a gold backed paper dollar, he wants the government to issue gold coins and collect them as taxes, while any individual can use anything they desire as currency. he has a company that exchanges gold for u.s. dollars so people who desire gold as security for the coming collapse of the dollar can purchase it. and believe me the dollar will collapse.
anyway sorry if i offended you.
