Thread: Surprising Ron Paul Sparks A Movement

Maybe it is time to quit saying "we can't" we can do anything and saving the things that made this country great is a must...there is no other option besides giving up our country and our rights.

They (the oil corp.)are going to start pumping oil again when it treaches $150.00/barrel.
They prove we have more oil and gas than the Arab countries and it suppose to last for 200 years.

How do you suppose this country survives/continues without oil??

It will take YEARS before we could get away from oil.

First, we stop shipping our oil to Japan. We use it here.

However, I do believe that Terry might have been upset about what Paul said in this part of the interview-----that he did not think that the Civil Rights Act should have been passed!!

Ron Paul was specific, he said "as written".
I do not believe that he would have a problem with the Civil rights act as concerning government instutions and services. (The government should not discriminate based on race) His issue is with private property rights and the federal government getting involved in the employer/employee relationship.

From: http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul188.html
"This expansion of federal power was based on an erroneous interpretation of the congressional power to regulate interstate commerce. The framers of the Constitution intended the interstate commerce clause to create a free trade zone among the states, not to give the federal government regulatory power over every business that has any connection with interstate commerce. "

He also thinks that it had negative effects:
"Therefore, the only way the federal government could ensure an employer was not violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that the racial composition of a business's workforce matched the racial composition of a bureaucrat or judge's defined body of potential employees. Thus, bureaucrats began forcing employers to hire by racial quota. Racial quotas have not contributed to racial harmony or advanced the goal of a color-blind society. Instead, these quotas encouraged racial balkanization, and fostered racial strife."

And just a sidenote, Barry Goldwater was against it and had this to say about this legislation, "You can't legislate morality." That is something I have heard Ron Paul say as well.
