oh plz u fucking racist conservative..how many unfair attacks has Obama had to deal with..ignorant one..the whole republican party is dumb as shit.You guys make it real easy for re-election LETS GO OBAMA NATION..fuck these Racist lilttle dick right wingers

[Montgomery Badleford]

My rebuttal was aimed at his claim about Latin America, not the United States. Read carefully.

[Montgomery Badleford]

At least in most countries in Latin America, slavery was criminalized (in my country around the 1950s), rather than having the government buy the slaves from slave-owners. Paul's method would be considered completely racist here, as it would've encouraged slave-owners to refuse to sell their slaves in the hope of increasing their price. And refusing a good or service to someone on the grounds of race would be considered completely unacceptable, from both a moral and legal standpoint.

[MasterfulInsane]

Erm, no. Business owners are not legally allowed to do that, so it goes far beyond business owners being open about it. If Ron Paul had his way, business owners would be able to deny services to people based on their race. That sits well with whites and Paultards in general, but it doesn't sit well with those who would likely be effected. This nonsense about the system working itself out in the end -- doesn't help the people being discriminated against in there here and now.

[MasterfulInsane]

There were civil rights acts long before 1964. One was passed soon after the civil war was ended, if I'm not mistaken.

The North didn't voluntarily get rid of slaves. Northern politicians used their power (force) to pass laws that prohibited slavery.

[theeonionbagel]

yeah because that's how things work. that's what the constitution enables us to do. you do realize some folks just bypass this process, and some just ignore the constitution altogether.

[Gary Hamlin]
