What? That's just silly. Nobody is forced to do anything.
Here, let me give you an example - Down here, we don't have any rules against gay people in the scouts, in fact, those rules were made unenforceable by our anti-discrimination laws. Does that mean that anyone is forced to have a gay scout-master? Of course not. In fact, it's a very good example of the old favorite "Invisible hand of the free market" - if you want to be in a scout troop with a gay scout-master, you can! If you don't want to? You don't have to! Nobody is forced to do anything. The only thing it does is to stop people from discriminating based on various factors.
I mean, sure, someone might have a problem with it if they believe things like this -
Many more are going to have difficultly avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists -- and they can be identified by the color of their skin.
Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions
I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.
Perhaps the L.A. experience should not be surprising. The riots, burning, looting, and murders are only a continuation of 30 years of racial politics.
"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."
"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?"
And try to get rid of discrimination laws so they can do whatever their racist little hearts desire. But for anyone rational or reasonable, then there is no reason to support such nonsense. I mean those are the kinda words you'd expect out of David Duke or Stormfront, not reasonable or rational people.
Well, of course, to the idea such things not being the thoughts of reasonable or rational people, they're all quotes from Ron Paul's newsletter. So it's understandable why David Duke and Stormfront are both such massive supporters of Ron Paul, Why Paul's words are reprinted in their newsletters and newspapers, why he's supported by the John Birch society(who, in turn, he grants interviews and various engagements at dinners) and the council of conservative citizens(you might know them better by their previous name, the White Citizens council, and I assure you, it's nothing to do with a town or a place named "white").
As a few other highlights, he also voted against the re-authorising of the voting rights act, and voted for the federal election integrity act - Odd, for mister anti-fed, since it was nothing more than an attempt at federal regulation and legalization of voter suppression of black people and poor people.
Or maybe we shouldn't talk about such sensitive issues as race, since it may be somewhat uncomfortable to realise that he marches in absolute lock-step with the fucking neo-nazi racist right wing on the topic of immigration. Maybe we should concern ourselves with the fact he's an extremely religious christian dominion sort of fella, or maybe that he's a 9/11 truther, he believes in the Illuminati and New World Order conspiracy theories, he Belives the CIA held a silent coup of the US government and now controls it, belives that the UN and NATO are grand evil conspiracies and wants to ban them from US soil, His foreign policy amounts to "Close the borders, fortify it with the army, and shoot any (pick your racial insult here) that try to get in", he belives that the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission are shadowy evil empires, when they're hardly more than ineffectual think-tanks, Believes Hillary Clinton is a secret lesbian(and so what if she is in the closet? The only bad thing about that would be that she felt she had to remain in the closet about it) and a Pinko commie, along with accusing her mother of murder and bill clinton of having black and white illegitimate childeren across the country, That Bill Clinton ordered the murder of Vince Foster, Clinton was a coke-head.
Let us also consider that he's a strong supporter of the Defense of Marriage act - once again, it's funny how he's okay with federal government regulation, as long as it stops gay people from getting married - and a co-sponsor of the Marriage Protection Act, which not only makes the defense of marriage act even stronger, but also attempts to prevent it being challenged in court. You also won't find him on the list of Co-sponsors for the Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2007, which would have repealed DADT, and he's also against gay adoption.
Let us also consider how he, as a "strict constitutionalist", also disagrees with the constitutionally set-in-stone separation of church and state, or how the Marriage protection act would be enormously unconstitutional.
In fact, he frankly ignores whatever the constitution actually says, in favor of whatever the fuck lunatic babble is going on in his head at the time. For example, when he called immigration a threat to the second amendment. Because apparently, scary immigrants and wannabe immigrants are going to...take away your guns?
Or of course, let's not forget when he introduced a bill to bar the federal courts from hearing any cases that might result in the establishment clause actually being enforced.
And of course, let's talk about gold. Hard to avoid, really. The problem is that Ron Paul's ideas about gold are utter nonsense, and he's a hypocrite about them on top of that - after all, if he were not a hypocrite, why would he have a company that exchanges gold for US dollars? - But basically, they would result in rapid economic collapse for the US. Actually, collapse isn't accurate - Implosion, would be the right word.
Ron has a very short memory - he forgets that his lovely gold-backed currency nearly destroyed the US economy once before, and that is in fact the reason the US is no longer on the gold standard - because the second other countries with large investments in your nation see your nation start to stumble, they immediately pull out their share of gold and giggle as your country crashes and burns.
Of course, let's not forget that if you could gather up every single scrap of gold on the earth(you can't), it was all 24 karat purity(it isn't) and somehow you could get equal to the highest market price ever recorded(you probably can't) then you'd have very, very roughly about 3 trillion in gold. The US national debt is 14 trillion. So, now that all your gold is gone, and you have nothing to back your currency, how are you to pay off that other eleven trillion? And don't even talk to me about Ron Paul claiming he can Eliminate the US national debt, the crazy fuck thinks he can do it by eliminating taxes, showing immediately that he's a congressman who doesn't actually have the foggiest idea where all the money that runs the country comes from.
Man, this is getting long, so let's really boogie on through the last few - He's also against women's rights, Campaign finance reform, worker's rights, any social programs, and universal healthcare.
Sure, Vote for him if you want. But in light of all that, Please don't be offended that I'll think far less of you for it.
