		<description>Although Ron Paul supporters say he does not support group interest they seem to constantly look back to a time when the goverment only protected the interest and rights of a small white male property owning group. 

Everyone else was a outsider who were denied the right to vote and could be discriminated against in jobs, housing and schools based on the likes, whims and prejudices of this group.

The only way these outsider groups (blacks, workers, women,gays) were able to achieve their rights were using the same group tatics as the ownership group.</description>

		<description>a lot of people on this discusion board seem to have a very distorted idea of who was the primary beneficiary of Affirmative Action,
do your research and you will find white women were the main benifactors of AA, not black people.

Also since Ron Paul and his supporters are all about states rights I wonder what the response would be if slavery or indentured servitude were adopted by some states again!?</description>

		<description>Ron Paul is not only our cure for apathy, but also our caffeine once we completely wake up. The people that worry about the downside of a Paul Administration have very valid points, and we should thank them for pointing these things out to us. Im afraid, however that they (and likely anyone who becomes alarmed at reading what is posted below) have not grasped fully the precarious position our complacence has us in. We have been raised to believe that it is the government&#039;s responsibility to protect us from unjustness and unfairness. This is a very pleasing notion but it is not America.

Ours is a nation based upon the premise of liberty for all. Every citizen of the United States is supposed to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, right? Well, we have been trained from birth to just allow that thought to stop right there. Which is what our alarmed friends are doing right now. The Constitution promises to guarantee these rights exist, but it is US who must secure these rights. Not the government. Not the Constitution.

Remember - our rights are endowed to us by our creator, guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and secured by we the people.

But what does this mean? Well it means that those who would claim that Ron Paul is no friend to the working man are right, and wrong. Ron Paul is NOT a friend to the working man, but to the free man, the responsible man. Ron Paul is one who truly understands that is not the government that is charged with the defense of our freedoms but us. The government, as established by the Constitution we all claim to honor, is restricted from infringing on our freedoms in EVERY way.

A government that has the power to protect the rights of the people, also has the power to remove those rights. And that is what we have been indoctrinated to believe. Ron Paul hopes that we will see his message, and we do. But do we understand his message of freedom?

He advocates a government that remembers its restrictions, thats true, but he also hopes that the people remember their responsibilities. Once the Paul Administration is in the White House we must continue the call for freedom at congress. Let our shouts of discontent and demands for a real change echo through not only Capitol Hill, but the halls of our State houses as well. Remind our Governors that the offices they occupy exist to serve our common interests. Remind our state legislatures that it is they who most directly represent our opinions and our needs and it is they who must step up to the plate in beginning state regulation programs. State regulated wages. State regulated equality laws. State regulated abortion laws. State regulated everything!

Ron Paul is the perfect man for the job. Ron Paul is the pro-America candidate, he does not belong to the CFR and wants us out of the United Nations. Some wonder what is so bad with the UN, well in the 50+ years the UN has existed how many times have we been at war or involved in a &#039;police action&#039;? Now look at the 100 years BEFORE the UN existed.....notice anything? I could be wrong but was the UN not created to avoid warfare? And did we not fight a war to avoid being ruled by kings living abroad? Ron Paul remembers our Constitution, and remembers what it is to be American. He recognizes the good intent Bill Clinton had in signing a treaty recognizing international war crimes. I might ask you, however, how that treaty permits the laws of foreign nations to affect ordinary people here inside the US? How many war criminals - not counting those in our current administration - walk our streets? So if America is a sovereign nation, with its own laws, why do international laws apply to us? Ron Paul asks these questions. And so should you.

i could go on and on correcting allegations that Ron Paul is not the best candidate. But my point is made, i think. We must take our liberty back. That means that we must from now on march on our state capitols for social change. It is OUR responsibility to secure our freedoms, to leave it up to government is to make our rights into privileges.</description>

		<description>Your comments show a lack of understanding... Ron Paul does not support any kind of &quot;group rights&quot;, he only supports individual rights. To Dr. Paul, there is no such thing as group rights.

He resists the efforts to try and categorize and stereotype a number of people into a group based on irrelevant criteria.

Skin color, sex or sexual orientation are not public issues, only to protect people from discrimination and it is ridiculous to think the government should be involved in laws that harm or support interests in &quot;groups&quot;.

Ron Paul thinks the government should get out of meddling in people&#039;s personal lives.

I agree, and I am certainly not a sexist or racist.

Ron Paul in 2008!</description>

		<description>Andrew, is it the case that you have an open mind, and would change your mind if further research proved these conclusions wrong?

If so, I urge you, for your sake and for all of us, to keep looking, keep listening and see if you can overcome these preliminary impressions by learning the truth.

I don&#039;t trust anyone, and it look a lot of research before I was convinced that ROn Paul represents our best hope for the future.</description>

		<description>because he wants to decriminalize marijuana, end american imperialism and let the states - all fifty of &#039;em - be the centers for policy innovation.

in the news recently, the governator has decided to sue the EPA because this large, clumsy, inefficient, centralized bureaucracy has denied california and sixteen other states the right to regulate it&#039;s own greenhouse gas emissions.

i don&#039;t know about you guys, but when the environmental protection agency forbids states to take initiative to clean up their own air, something is wrong.  i bet we could logically deduct that the EPA, a federal institution, is heavily lobbied by corporate institutions.

now, people, what kind of central, militaristic government takes it orders from large, multi-national corporations?

anyone?

anyone at all?

okay, okay, i&#039;ll give you a hint: it starts with an &#039;F&#039; and rhymes with baptism (sorta).

i&#039;m pretty sure that old, white, piece-of-shit conservative ron paul has my vote.  i never thought i&#039;d be voting for a republican from texas......</description>

		<description>Ron Paul is a racist, a sexist,and a heterosexist.  How do we know this?  Because he supports legislation that harms the interests of these groups and opposes legislation that protects the interests of these groups.  If you support Ron Paul after knowing the truth, then that makes you are racist, sexist, and heterosexist, too.  If you want to be these things, that&#039;s okay; just be honest and admit what you are.  Quit trying to trick us by redefining your prejudice and desire to discriminate against members of these group as &quot;freedom&quot; and &quot;liberty.&quot;  If you believe your own deception then you are a rationalizer.  Whatever the case, we figured out the conservative states rights argument years ago - even before George Wallace ran for president. Paul isn&#039;t a libertarian.  You aren&#039;t fooling us.  He&#039;s a white nationalist extremist.</description>
