Did you know that Ron Paul's honest beliefs include opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act?

In May 2011, Paul told MSNBC that he would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended Jim Crow. He questioned the act because it took authority away from property owners.

Like dumping on DUers? Glad you are as disgusted by that as I am. sabrina 1 Jun 2013 #93

They'd also cut taxes on the 1% to about 0%, and then kill all social programs given JoePhilly Jun 2013 #3

The OP was not about taxes, it was about leaks, spying on Americans, etc. 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #7

You claim they are helping to save us from the tyrants. And they are not. JoePhilly Jun 2013 #12

Do you think Ron and Rand think the earth is round or flat? eom 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #13

No idea ... but I do know they would end all social programs if they could ... JoePhilly Jun 2013 #14

I think the Pauls should be ignored, not scorned necessarily 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #19

Does this mean poor ole Ralph Nader is off the hook? nm rhett o rick Jun 2013 #17

Yes. Apparently the Pauls have up-staged Ralph in the villainy department. ~nt 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #20

You believe that Ron Paul "an honest man, sincerely dedicated to his beliefs"? ucrdem Jun 2013 #31

You may disagree with him, and you may not like his beliefs, Blue_In_AK Jun 2013 #77

Okay but what he honestly believes in is keeping Jim Crow laws. ucrdem Jun 2013 #79

I'm not disagreeing with that. Blue_In_AK Jun 2013 #82
