7. Thank you for this link to one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard Paul spew.

If people listen to this ignorant jackass' speech, they will hear him mention that he thinks the phrase "the consent of the governed" is one of the most important phrases in the Constitution of the United States.

However, that phrase is not in the Constitution.
It's in the Declaration of Independence.

I find it hard to believe that someone who has served for so long in the Congress of the United States doesn't know that.
I find it hard to believe that someone who has served for so long in the Congress of the United States doesnt know what the oath that he took when he was sworn in to office, to uphold the Constitution, actually refers to.

It doesn't mean to uphold the Declaration of Independence.

The rest of his rant is just outrageous revisionist history.
Representative Ron Paul is clearly a racist, and he doesn't intend to ever change.
