...Ron Paul is only tagging along on the civil rights movement after the heavy lifting is done.

Again you put your ignorance on full display. Civil libertarians are the greatest champions of individual rights which is the basis of your civil rights.

Protip, there is no such thing as collective rights and if you vote yes on the basis of collective rights then you are a ANTI civil rights proponent.

My guy is the best by definition! You can't beat that.



Look, Des already said he cares more about drug laws than segregation. If theres one thing MLK rallied against, it was segregation. If there were two things he rallied against, it was segregation and thugs. Sorry, but MLK would not enforce Ron Paul. Maybe you supporters should take a another look at MLKs issues through another lens. Preferably one that's not actually in your messiah's ass.

Segregation was an unconstitutional government law that all civil libertarians would have opposed. Why doesn't that make sense to you?

Ron Paul is the only person that wants to repeal the drug laws that are far more damaging to the black and minority communities than the Jim Crow laws...



Desnoxvu posted:

Despite drug laws not being anything MLK marched against, we're going to pretend it was so we can get his post-humorous endorsement. Ron Paul knows better than the uppity blacks.



This is what confuses me. I bet Ron Paul was too busy writing racist newsletters to go march with King.

I learned one thing from this thread. French people and their name-a-likes have no idea what the civil rights movement was all about.

Hasn't Ron Paul said he wouldn't have voted for the Civil Rights Act?

The civil rights act was unnecessary. They should have just repealed the Jim Crow laws and other laws that put people in groups.

The thing about libertarians is that they believe all individuals have rights and that nobody should have benefits or unfair treatment because they belong to a group, whether it be black, white, straight, gay, man or woman.

A Ron Paul reality check, courtesy of the Daily Beast and Ron Paul's extensive body of work.


Ron Paul, Feb 1991 posted:

I was among the first to bring you news, about a year ago, that the Rev. Martin Luther King plagiarized his doctoral dissertation. The January 1991 issue of Chronicles magazine tells the whole sordid story, but to scoop them, the Wall Street Journal ran a ‘sensitive’ story. And now the New Republic reports that it, the WSJ, the Washington Post, and the New York Times knew about the plagiarism long ago but chose to suppress it. So much for our free press.

“We know that King is a Marxist and a world-class adulterer. But there is yet another charge, and this appears in black columnist Carl Rowan’s new book Breaking Barriers (Boston: Little, Brown, 1991).

“While Rowan was head of the U.S. Information Agency under LBJ, he found out about the FBI bugging of King’s multifarious sexual activities. Documented on tape: a sexual relationship between King and his fellow Christian minister, Ralph David Abernathy. See Rowan’s book for the exact words, which I cannot bring myself to quote. Am I glad I voted in Congress against an expensive federal holiday for this man.

Ron Paul, Dec 1990 posted:

He [King] was also a comsymp, if not an actual party member, and the man who replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.

“King, the FBI files show, was not only a world-class adulterer, he also seduced underage girls and boys. The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy revealed before his death that King had made a pass at him years before.

“And we are supposed to honor this ‘Christian minister’ and lying socialist satyr with a holiday that puts him on par with George Washington?

“Congratulations to Arizona! Who could doubt that the result would be exactly the same if the other 49 states could also vote on a holiday for this affirmative-action saint?

Ron Paul, Feb 1990 posted:

Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.

It is all about everyone having rights as an indvidual, not as being part of a group. Collectivists are the real racists.


Edit: And Sir Garth. Ron Paul didn't write those. But I icon bet anyone on this board that Sir Garth is some white guy sitting at his computer with his white man guilt trying to pretend he is righteously making up for his white forefather's racism.

So I decided to start looking at who it was that produced this lying smear job at TNR and what TNR is. The first thing I noticed that no specific author took credit, instead the piece was by "TNR Staff"

Okay, lets find out who these "staff" are.

Marty Peretz opps, right away, former editor chief, now editor emeritus .. a leftist Zionist.

Leon Wieseltier Two for two...

Ruth Franklin Three for three...

John B. Judis a socialist revolutionary.

Adam Kirsch

Jed Perl

Sarah Williams Goldhagen

T.A. Frank

And so on and so forth. IE no surprises for who is behind this hit piece.
