the polls. Thanks for the rephrasing of Paul’s email – it

with you about term limits as a litmus test. I continue to
argue that for those who are the <b>targets</b> of
discrimination, unequal protection under the law, and
invasions of privacy – all of which I consider to be civil

<br>
I'm still trying to figure out how people got what they did out of
what I originally said, but whatever.<br>
<br>
There are people in power that want nothing more than to keep
amassing that power and increasing their wealth. Some very scary
things have happened in the last dozens of years, including Abu
Ghraib, the "Patriot" act, indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay,
warrantless wiretaps, the secret room in the ATT building used for
spying on all of our communications, extraordinary rendition,
targeted assassinations of US citizens, refusal to follow the Geneva
Conventions, not to mention starting horrific wars based on false
information. Even the damned TSA is a consequence of this madness.<br>
<br>
If things keep going this way, we will be totally screwed. That's
totally screwed as in the list of differences between what our
government does and what North Korea does to it's citizens is
shrinking at an alarming rate.<br>
<br>
When I say that these issues we've been talking about are meant as
distractions, I don't for one minute mean that they are not
important! That's why they work so well as distractions. Believe
me, these people that can send people they think are guilty with no
proof to foreign countries to be tortured (not just waterboarded,
but all-out tortured) don't care about abortion or gay rights or
whatever, because it doesn't affect their ability to gain power. <br>
<br>
Abortion, for example, has been targeted by Presidents and
administrations for a long time now. Some try to make Roe V. Wade
go away, others try to strengthen it. For decades now, it's been
pretty much the same. It can wait through one more Administration.
The abuses I listed above are getting worse, and they speak directly
to the health of our nation. If we lose too many rights, we might
as well be in China.<br>
<br>
So my suggestion, not that anyone cares, is to fight this erosion of
our freedoms now, because it will just get worse. No other
candidate out there is even talking about this.<br>
<br>
Even if Ron Paul gets elected, he won't get almost anything he wants
through Congress. But he can stop these abuses from getting even
more out of control through his veto powers. And, in my opinion,
that's what we really need right now.<br>
<br>
Paul<br>
<br>
P.S. Just in case I haven't made myself clear, I don't hate 17-year
old incest victims. Or gays. Or black people.<br>

He has admitted to putting out an investment newsletter
that (as far as I can tell) was not one of the
newsletters that printed the racist comments. It had
all sorts of conspiracy theories about what will happen
to people trying to deal in large amounts of cash, most
of which have come true - just not in the way he
thought. Try taking a large pile of cash through
airport security and see how well that goes.<br>
<br>
Another distraction attempt, supposedly a smoking gun,
apparently succeeds in its goals. Or maybe this is just
jumping on the bandwagon, since it is the Daily Mail,
after all.<br>

Or do we just call them out anyway?<br>
<br>
Here is an article from CBS News about the newsletters:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57345702-503544/ron-paul-disavows-racist-newsletters-under-his-name/"
target="_blank">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57345702-503544/ron-paul-disavows-racist-newsletters-under-his-name/</a><br>
<br>
The article contains a quote by Ron Paul on the issue:
<br>
<br>
"When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine
full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that
I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the
product," he said. "For over a decade, I have publicly
taken moral responsibility for not paying closer
attention to what went out under my name."<br>
<br>
I'd hate to see the man dragged over the coals for
something he might not have deserved solely because (for
example) Jon Huntsman is losing to Ron Paul in New
Hampshire and has staked his campaign on a strong
showing there.<br>
<br>
I got that last bit from this article: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57349712-503544/huntsman-calls-ron-paul-unelectable-because-of-racist-newsletters/"
target="_blank">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57349712-503544/huntsman-calls-ron-paul-unelectable-because-of-racist-newsletters/</a><br>
<br>
And once again, this is only out there in order to
distract us. These people could care less if it's even
true. It's just convenient.<br>
<br>
Paul<br>

I would rue the day that racist behavior and
bigoted views become irrelevant in how we choose
our leaders. There are issues that truly good
people can disagree on; racism, however, is
never the view of a "truly good person," and in
fact ought to, by virtue of popular outcry,
immediately make a pariah out of the one who
embraces it.<br>

negate the evidence. For what
it's worth, he claims that he
didn't write those newsletters
that were put out in his
name. Like you've shown, a
person can be compassionate
and still be racist. Being
racist is not a black and
white thing, no pun intended.
It's something that can change
over a period of years. I
grew up in a casually racist
household, and had to unlearn
much of that over the years,
as did my parents. It's easy
to fall into that trap when
you grow up with it and
everyone around you thinks the
same thing. As society
changed, so did those around
me, and so did I.</span><span

is, assuming he is some kind

abortion and gay marriage, are
all "theatrical issues". They
are issues that are tossed out
to the American public like
scraps to hungry dogs for them
to fight over. While they are
important in and of
themselves, they are really
meant to distract us from
realizing that we have more
power than we think we do. In
my opinion we should
concentrate on our civil
liberties, and in stopping the
steady power buildup for the
Executive branch that's been
going on for years. That's
far more dangerous to us in
the short term than any of
these hot button issues are.
Like Sunil said in another
post, it's all about
priorities.</span><span

a lovely story,
Paul. And a
powerful instance
of Ron Paul’s
compassion, but
how does it negate
the evidence of
his racism in
those published
reports? My Texas
grandfather was a
racist through and
through, yet he
performed kind and
generous acts to
the people he
belittled, and to
whom he would have
denied the vote,
the right to serve
on juries (along
with women) and
most especially
the right to sit
up front in public
transportation. </span><span
