In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul: Civil Rights Act of 1964 'Destroyed' Privacy [View all]JenniferJuniper
(4,576 posts)37. "States Rights" trump civil rights and human rights in this little man's world view.
For example, he's on record saying that abortion is genocide. Yet he also thinks states should be allowed to make their own rules regarding abortion availability or restriction. Ergo, if individual states wish to engage in genocide, it should be fine with the Federal government.
He's also lied about the beginnings of the Civil War and views Lincoln as the aggressor who started the war over slavery, when of course it was the South who opted out of union over the result of the 1860 presidential election. The little toad no doubt thinks the Southern states should have been allowed to keep their slaves in peace.
