In reply to the discussion: An #Occupier said something interesting about Ron Paul... [View all]this bird has flown
(30 posts)I am not a Ron Paul fanatic, by the way, but I can see how this sort of thing gets spread around. But there are many people who are examining the 14th Ammendment, not because they want a return to slavery and segregation, but because of the children of undocumented immigrants having the same rights as other native-born citizens. The idea of desegregation in itself is probably some sort of strict Constitutionalist view rather than a racist's ideology.
And to tell the truth, I don't see Paul as an idealogue. He took earmarks for his constituents and the governor of FL, Rick Scott, rejected high-speed rail funds because of his fanaticism! So many people were prevented from employment in FL and yet Paul put aside his own views to properly represent his electorate.
