Unbelievable: Ron Paul Slams Civil Rights Act

[Lakhota]

 

[PredFan]

I have, thanks for your concern.

You've never read any part of the Civil Rights Act. So shut up.

I don't mean the government indoctrination you got in public schools. Go to your closet, retreive your unused brain, put it back in your head and try using it.

The Civil Rights Act is a law, it isn't indoctrination. All one has to do is read it - which you clearly have not done - to see it does not create special rights for certain groups. In fact, quite the opposite, it forbids the creation of special rights for certain groups.

Now I see your problem, you have reading comprehension issues. I didn't say that the Civil Rights Act was indoctrination. Read my post again slowly. Or have someone read it for you and then explain it to you. I'm now sure that the reason you are wrong is because of your poor education.

What?

I can choose not to patronize a business based on the race of the owner. I can say "I will only shop at stores run by white people" or "I will only get haircuts from asian people." So can you. That is legal. That is discrimination. What should we do about it?

That is a personal choice and not a policy written on a wall. You are free to use/not use a business as a consumer. That business is not allowed to not serve you based on color.

Stop being juvenile. Ron Paul, this is not 1955. People in this country would not "do the right thing" on their own, no matter how Rosy your glasses are. If it weren't for the government stepping in and people fighting and dying for civil rights, we would be stuck in time. Back to a time that was an embarrassment to us as a country.

Bull shit. You lefties have for so long seen racism where there isn't any and now you just cannot fathom that it might be all but gone.

The US Government of 1930s FDR made major strides into turning the US into the greatest country on earth

That criminal made "great strides" in drowning the greatest country on earth in debt and creating perpetual dependency from among the greatest, most bold and innovative individuals on earth.

Right Winger showed himself many posts back and a totally mindless left wing sycophant. He worships socialists and social policies. no amount of reason is going to change that.

If racism was all but gone we would not be having a discussion on whether business owners have a right to have white only stores again, this should be a non issue right?

Yet you are not free to refuse to sell what you produce to who you want as a producer? Isnt refusing to sell to white people or black people or whomever the same personal choice as refusing to buy from them?

There is no moral difference at all. Why should it not also be a policy written on the wall to ban customers from discriminating against business owners? The discrimination is exactly the same. If you want to call Paul a racist for his views on the civil rights act, then you too must also be a racist unless you want to use government to force customers to purchase an equal amount of goods from black people and white people to ensure there is no discrimination taking place.

Best post I've read in awhile.

FDR turned the United States into the most powerful economic and military power on earth. He also turned us into a modern society which will not allow the less fortunate among us to suffer

Social Security has withstood constitutional scrutiny for 75 years. Show me anything about our current government that is unconstitutional. Opinion doesn't count libertarian...back it up with a court case

No it hasn't. SS has brought to the Supreme Court only once way back in 1937. What essentially happened was FDR threatened to pack the courts under the guise that 70 plus year old judges were too old to do their jobs well and needed help. Under this threat Justice Roberts switched his ruling on most New Deal acts, giving a ruling in favor of SS of five judes for and four against.

In short, once again, you are wrong. SS has not withstood constitutional scrutiny. The question of it's constituionality has been raised to the courts only once in history way back some 75 years ago. And was only passed after being threatened by the most liberal president in history and ONE judge 'miraculously' changing his mind.

FDR, in fact, did not pack the courts

Libertarians have had 75 years to raise a constitutional challenge......they haven't

Which speaks a lot about the validity of their constitutional objection

Bullshit. Circumstance and the potential of our land and its people made us the most powerful military power on earth. We became the most powerful economic power on earth despite the harm that criminal did to the nation.

He was trying his damndest until the Supreme Court started caving in.

Theres nothig juevenile about it. Why is a business owner not entitled to the same personal choice?

 

[WatertheTree]

actually there is little consumer choice left. You get to chose between walmart and walgreens.

Yeap thats about it. Now walmarts trying to do the same thing with grocery's. I got a walmart across the street from every grocery store in my town.

You're a waffling coward who can't admit when he's wrong righty. You claimed SS has withstood constitutional scrutiny for 75 years. The fact is it hasn't been scrutinized at all by the Supreme Court since it is was first established. So you were dead wrong on that one and my guess is you don't have the integrity to admit it. When it passed it passed by a margin of ONE judge. One judge who coincidentally changed his mind AFTER a liberal President threated to overload the SC with judges of his choosing.

Is it fortune that determines our fate? Sometmes...maybe...but for the most part it is determination and will power. It is drive and the will to succeed. I get why poor people are democrats. When you are poor you need money and when someone offers that money it is too easy to take it. It's the path of least resistance. Then of course you are thankful to your benefactor. Then you might think that everyone deserves that kind of help and want to encourage programs that help people.

Sometimes there are hidden costs attached to free money. In fact I would say that most times there are hidden costs. In the case of government programs the cost is in government intrusion on our freedoms. One of the costs is the direct cost to your fellow americans. I have to pay taxes or I go to jail. This is extortion. Would you walk up to someone with a gun and force them to give you money? What if you only took 25% from each person you robbed would that be ok? What if you gave it to needy people would that make it less wrong? What about the people who you just robbed's family? Do you care about them? Maybe they need that money? The people on welfare are robbing tax payers by proxy through the US government.

The fact is it hasn't been scrutined at all by the Supreme Court since it is was first established. So you were dead wrong on that one and my guess is you don't have the integrity to admit it.

FACT. If a law has not been overturned as unconstitutional, it is by default...constitutional

FACT. Libertarians have had 75 years to challenge the constitutionality of social security and have done NOTHING

Social Security has been one of our most effective social policies in our history and has protected millions of Americans. The fact that libertarians, after all these years, still seek to overturn it shows how out of touch libertarians are

Relax guys 65 was a good year.

Democrats emptied SS and created the marriage penalty.

No, we are having this discussion because the left sees racism where there isn't any. This thread was started by a lefty trying to paint Ron Paul as a racist.
