In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul: for the record, and just my humble o. [View all]wilt the stilt
(4,528 posts)13. The bottom line and the only question you need
to ask a Ron paul supporter is "What is more important property rights or human rights'? Ron paul advocates that property is more important than civil rights and that is why he is opposed to the Civil rights bill. How absolutely out of touch can you be to support the segregationist system that existed in the south prior to the Civil Rights bill. How can one be so immune to human suffering that you would oppose the civil rights bill. His argument is exactly what the segregationists used in opposing the Civil rights bill. Rand said the free market would have corrected(I'm sure Ron feels the same way). Uhh, the system was working in the free market.
This is a man deeply rooted in only himself.

I will never understand why self-proclaimed Democrats would support Ron Paul.
