1. It surely wouldn't surprise me if it is real

Doesn't look shopped to me, but my eyes aren't that good, lol.

But I have no doubt that he would, and likely has, given a talk in front of a confederate flag at least once.

Nasty piece of shit, he is.

2. Real: Ron Paul’s “South Was Right” Civil War Speech With Confederate Flag

Jan 20, 2012
By Casey Gane-McCalla

Ron Paul has made no secret the fact that he thought that the South was right in the Civil War. Here he is giving a speech in front of a giant Confederate Flag about why he believes the North was wrong in the Civil War and why the South was right.

Ron Paul is a neo-Confederate, and proud member of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, which has been labeled as a neo-Confederate organization. In the video he claims that the North should have paid to buy slaves from southern slave owners to avoid the war, rather than the South renouncing slavery. Paul also fails to bring up the fact that it was the South that started the war by attacking the North in 1861.

There are so many guys from that area who think like this, that the south was right, etc etc. They're all libertarian fools too. Bather on about states rights and such. It's a disease. Some relatives are caught up in this ugly nonsense too claiming to be libertarian. Left for the west coast and grad school and honestly you could not pay me to return. Ron Paul is a dangerous lunatic.
