Thank you for posting those links. I knew about a lot of it... but had not seen many of those newsletters. I can only laugh at such things at his references to crack... when I know for a FACT that there has been more cocaine snorted by 'respectable' members of the Chicago Stock Exchange than any amount of crack that has been dealt on the streets! They just do it at their private cocktail parties and in the bathrooms of high-end nightclubs... some of which I've worked in! And who do you suppose is supplying that crack that's being dealt on the streets? In Chicago... it's predominantly coming from wealthy WHITE men who live in upscale Lake Shore Drive condos and suburban MacMansions... who also drive into the hood to pick up their own heroine and hookers when they're looking for a thrill! Of course... you don't see them spending the rest of their lives in prisons... because even if they DO get caught... which is extremely rare... they can afford ridiculously expensive attorneys or payoffs to corrupt judges to get them off! And speaking of getting off... if anyone believes that the rape and pedophilia that's been uncovered within the Catholic church has been fully exposed... or that its not going on in other religions as well... they are living in Fantasyland! Once again... those with money and political connections are able to cover it up... and their solution amounts to a small slap on the wrist and transferring these monsters to another parish or church so they can do it all again! As for the connections he draws between homosexuality and AIDS... apparently he's unaware that AIDS is a predominantly heterosexual disease in the majority of the world! But then again... since it is so rampant in Africa... he probably doesn't bother to read about that! His attitudes regarding homosexuality and abortion are nothing more than a reflection of his own religious beliefs... and apparently he's not as big of a supporter of the Constitution as he claims to be because Roe V. Wade was based on the right to privacy! Government needs to stay the hell out of women's bodies! As far as the right-to-lifers... funny how they never seem to speak out much against the death penalty... and some of them are it's greatest supporters! Where were they when Matthew Shepard was hanging off a fence in Wyoming... dying after he had been beaten to a pulp in what is still not considered a hate-crime? It's no wonder he's making such a stink about the second amendment... I imagine he'd be delighted with an all-out race war in this country! And when he talks about blacks 'rioting and looting' in the streets of Chicago following a basketball game... how fascinating that he doesn't talk about the white mobs that were regularly picked up for drunk and disorderly conduct, destroying property and disturbing the peace of nearly every major Cub game that was held at Wrigley Field! And I KNOW... because I personally lived with it for YEARS! By the way... can't imagine why he'd cast a NO VOTE on this either ...
I could go on and on with personal examples and my own opinions... but I'm gonna lay it out this way instead...
Yea... he pulled off the unthinkable with a flurry of support and using the Boston Tea Party and Patriots disguising themselves as Native Americans as the kind of example for Americans to emulate for the new revolution...
But what I REALLY wanna know is what's his connection to the Lakota Bank... and what's his real agenda behind supporting hemp?
Because he sure as hell hasn't been speaking out against the violation of US Treaties or the Native American Religious Freedom Act or the ongoing GENOCIDE of the First Nations people!
Paul: A nation that once prided itself on a sense of rugged individualism has become uncomfortably obsessed with racial group identities. The collectivist mindset is at the heart of racism. Government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combat bigotry. Bigotry at its essence is a problem of the heart, and we cannot change people's hearts by passing more laws and regulations. It is the federal government that most divides us by race, class, religion, and gender. Through its taxes, restrictive regulations, corporate subsidies, racial set-asides, and welfare programs, government plays far too large a role in determining who succeeds and who fails. Government "benevolence" crowds out genuine goodwill by institutionalizing group thinking, thus making each group suspicious that others are receiving more of the government loot. This leads to resentment and hostility among us. Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence - not skin color, gender, or ethnicity. In a free society, every citizen gains a sense of himself as an individual, rather than developing a group or victim mentality. This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.

Someone needs to tell Ron Paul that Native Americans haven't just been fighting bigotry... they've been fighting for the MONEY, LAND and RESOURCES that were STOLEN from them! They don't WANT a government handout or any part of the US welfare state! They want what RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO THEM!!!
Constitutionalist? When has he spoken out about this? ...
But so what.... these are JUST Native Americans... right?! And most of these articles were written by somebody else... and he's already apologized.... so things like this don't matter now anyway....
People are STILL not paying attention! This isn't JUST about First Nations people... it's about ALL of us!!! And Ron Paul is one very nasty wolf in sheep's clothing!!!
Perhaps you'll start giving a shit about 'Native American issues' now that you are STARTING to understand that the same damn thing is happening to ALL Americans!!! These are NOT >>> JUST<<< racial issues!!!
And I've got news for you... you STILL haven't heard the WORST of it!!!
