You can't use the force of government to police the citizens of this country to your moral code.

America recognizes slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, discrimination, bigotry, racism, and other prejudices as immoral. This has changed since before MLK. I don't think you understand what you're talking about, at all.

That's true..
but only because no single individual's moral code lines up exactly with laws of this nation. Moral codes play a role in the existence of laws whether you like it or not.
Also ironic because Libertarianism is all about converting the moral code of each libertarian into the law of the land.

Why do Ron Paul supporters demonstrably hate America?

Thanks for the homework maestro. I will get back to you shortly.
Edit: Slavery was unconstitutional because it didn't allow blacks to have individual rights.
Do I get a prize?

Slavery was constitutional until they amended the constitution. Ron Paul would be for this amendment, but the important thing is why. He would be for it because the states voted for it. He wouldn't be for it because of any "morality" and I think that distinction is very important.
Fun Fact: Ron Paul is against us having waged the civil war. I would extrapolate from this that he would have been against an amendment freeing the slaves because the South was held hostage after the North won. Signing an amendment under duress doesn't seem to fit his philosophy.

Exactly what am I ignorant of? I get my information directly from Dr. Paul himself and his very vocal supporters. I'm currently reading Dr. Kings autobiography and do not think he would be impressed by Ron Paul.
Fun Fact: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a strict policy of not endorsing political candidates. Trying to exploit MLK for politics is a slap in the face to his memory.

Is that a point for or against MLK?

I don't think it says anything about MLK other than he didn't want his movement hijacked by every political nitwit who saw a cause to exploit.
