Ron Paul (R-Texas) stuck to his libertarian principles on Sunday, criticizing the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it "undermine[d] the concept of liberty" and "destroyed the principle of private property and private choices." "If you try to improve relationships by forcing and telling people what they can't do, and you ignore and undermine the principles of liberty, then the government can come into our bedrooms," Paul told Candy Crowley on CNN's "State of the Union." "And that's exactly what has happened. Look at what's happened with the PATRIOT Act. They can come into our houses, our bedrooms our businesses ... And it was started back then." Paul explained that while he supports the fact that the legislation repealed the notorious Jim Crow laws, which forced racial segregation, he believes it is the government, not the people, that causes racial tensions by passing overreaching laws that institutionalize slavery and segregation. Today's race problems, he said, result from the war on drugs, the flawed U.S. court system and the military. "The real problem we face today is the discrimination in our court system, the war on drugs. Just think of how biased that is against the minorities," he said. "They go into prison much way out of proportion to their numbers. They get the death penalty out of proportion with their numbers. And if you look at what minorities suffer in ordinary wars, whether there's a draft or no draft, they suffer much out of proposition. So those are the kind of discrimination that have to be dealt with, but you don't ever want to undermine the principle of private property and private choices in order to solve some of these problems."
Without CR64, Jim Crow would be here now. Who was going to repeal it? Alabama?? Tuesday an ESPN 30/30 movie will be on. Educate yourself. It's called the Ghosts of Ole Miss.
Ron, dude, listen to me. It was the GOVERNMENT that wrote the Jim Crow laws. If you keep government from writing the laws then you don't need government to get rid of them. THAT is Paul's argument. Your logic is circular.
DUDE STATE GOVERNMENTS WROTE THOSE LAWS. Why do think they had to call fukking National Guard!!! ARE YOU SANE??
