Rand Paul Wants To Abolish The Americans With Disabilities Act!

[Free Palestine]

I always get called a liar when I tell people on this site that Ron Paul has absolutist policies on the scope of government and foreign policy.  If Ron Paul became President you would see the elination of the CIA, FDA, IRS, FBI, NSA, etc.  He would let the world burn before he intervened in a foreign war.  He didn't beleive in fighting World War 1 or 2, and he agreed with the South's Secession in the Civil War.   He would eliminate all social aid like food stamps.  

Now we see that his son also shares the same absolutist views.  There is no compromise on the constitution according to Rand Paul.  None.  

How horrible, the idea that the U.S. government might spend it's resources on the American people, rather than acting as the world's nanny and treating the American people as the beasts of burden for the entire world.

ITT: Implying that opposing an unconstitutional bill means you hate disabled people.

He was interviewd on NPR this afternoon. They asked him if he'd support the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He evaded that question as hard as he could.
Interviewer: Would you have supported the Civil Rights Act if you were in Congress in 1964?
Paul: I'm against racism and would have been marching with Martin Luther King.
Interviewer: So you'd support the Civil Rights Act?
Paul: Well, it was passed so long ago that I haven't even read it....
Interviewer: So you don't know if you'd support the Civil Rights Act?
Paul: I'm against racism
Interviewer: Thanks for your time.

Good job not falling for that obvious bait.

Opposing the Civil Rights Act ≠ opposing civil rights.  If he had answered that he doesn't support the act, that would have been jumped on as a sound bite, ignoring whatever justification he may have.

Yes, that what dixiecrats used to say. "No, I don't hate nigras, just state's rights, constitution, liberty..."

Dixiecrats used state's rights as a cop-out for their own racism.  People like Rand and Ron genuinely believe in the Constitution (Well, only sort-of for Drug War-supporting Rand).

This is a ridiculous situation. Does anyone here have a clue what large sections of the country were like pre-Civil Rights Act? This is another one of those issues where the law is opposed simply because it's a law. It's a highly unrealistic fantastical utopianistic mindset that doesn't care about the effects of the law whether they're positive or not. It's the fact that it's a law that they oppose, consequences be damned.

The idea that Libertas cares about freedom is as absurd as saying that any of the Dixiecrats who filibustered the 1964 Act cared about freedom.  It's BS, designed to not make him appear to be the racist that he is.

Yeah, just like how anybody who doesn't support Israel is antisemitic.  Hurr

Go away, dude.

Can you do anything besides make snarky, rude little comments towards me?

As for ben, I've seen him use "antisemite" in reference to people who oppose Zionism, who may or may not be actually antisemitic.

Libertas, I agree with you in a sense, but if you oppose federal authority regarding the Civil Rights Act, you are in a sense "supporting" the powers of states to discriminate.  Whether or not you yourself support or oppose discrimination in your state is something else entirely.
