Yup that is one of the oldest tricks in the book Cicero, this happened actually a couple times during Rand Paul's campaign and both times they were caught.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

Speaking of "racist labels"... I was surprised to learn of Ron Paul's anti Choice views, and recently I heard of Ron Pauls connections to the John Birch Society (speaking of racists).
~ "Dr. Ron Paul, Texas congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, was the featured speaker Saturday evening, October 4 on the final day of the John Birch Society's 50th Anniversary Celebration. The topic of his keynote address was "Restoring the Republic: Lessons From a Presidential Campaign," in which he lectured the audience on how our republic can be restored with groups such as the John Birch Society (JBS) and his own Campaign for Liberty leading the way." ~
Has Paul disavowed his JBS connection, or is he a racist Bircher too??? Several local Tea Party meetings feature Bircher propaganda and Bircher featured speakers.
Is Ron Paul A Bircher???

The JBS has always been a small government conservative group and yes they do like many of Paul's ideas. What's racist about the JBS to you, the same old argument that they don't like the civil rights act?

Just like the abortion issue...........why the hell is this turning to race AGAIN!!!!!
The issues are about small and less intrusive government. Stopping illegal wars. Getting a grip on the unsustainable debt and entitlement programs. Dealing with immigration/boarders. Bringing our troops home. Personal iberty and freedom for all!
OMG.....git with the program folks!!

If the JBS had fought against veterans benefits, I would say they are anti veteran. If they fought against women's rights, they might be anti women. If they fight against equal rights for blacks... YEA. I'd say they were racist.
Yesterday when discussing Planned Parenthood on this board,PP was denounced because of views of one if it's founders. If those are the rules, then: One of the founders of the John Birch Society was Revilo P. Oliver, who went on to found the white nationalist Neo-Nazi organization, The National Alliance which named Hitler “the greatest man of our era.”
The Birchers deny their racism just enough to keep the association from being obvious, but not so much that racists (and racist dollars) might suspect them as being unbiased.

the politicos all like those factions to exist so we can have these closed ended arguments and stop looking up the skirts of our government.... I disagree with the law that requires companies/educational institutions and the like to have certain ratios....well, now that we have the internet and places like this forum(small as it is to some), twitter/facebook/linkedin etc etc.....they should be required to have 'view ratios',,,,,,, MTV(as much sh!t is on it) and the Jersey Shore crap are very mainstream and dont have a 'race problem' in the eyes of the next generation... however, they have been 'seeded' with Jerry Springer and they have now been seeded with the idea of smaller government....let's see what they mix up.....
they will be so infused with 'connectiveness' via the technology that the first thing to go will be the government intrusion into their lives....
they can micromanage their own lives on the move.......they will realise they dont need papa government.....however, there is the danger of a 'movie star struck president'....Clinton was like that...oooh, he's so coooool....oh ah...oh ah.......then forgetting about the rest of the machine put into place.....
if ya can get the president to dance no one will be paying attention to the pick-pocketing by the rest of the government
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Abortion and racism were dealt with and laws were passed in their defense FIFTY YEARS AGO!!!!! Injecting these issues FIFTY YEARS LATER is clearly a way of just trying to re-create the same rhetorical conversation today that has left this present generation with the mess it is in in 2011!!!
The mess that this present generation is experiencing today is the legacy left to them by the 60's and 70's hippie generation. Today's generation is taking a stand against the bullcrap that came out of that era. This generation is smarter, and unlike the hippie generation, are striving to clean up this mess left to them so they can leave a better legacy to their children.
This generation is much smarter and much more informed and apparently will NOT fall for the same bullcrap spoon fed to the 60's and 70's generation. For them it is not all about 'me'....for them it's all about 'us'!!!

So Bumble, If you were/are a woman seeking an abortion, do you think that they are readily available in the USA? Do you think that availability is being restricted and denied in many states? Do you think the battle for safe affordable and available abortion services is a thing of the past???

Boxy..........this is 2011!!!
This country is trillions of dollars in debt. It has unsustainable government programs. It is involved in illegal wars. It's young troops are dying for other country's flags...not America's flag. There is more intrusive government in private lives than ever before in history. Almost $.60 from every earned dollar goes for combined taxes/fees. It still has an illegal immigration/boarder problem. It still has health care problems. It still has energy issues. There are no jobs. Unemployment is 9%.
These are the REAL issues this new generation faces. It's the sad legacy left to them by the generation that came before them!! Now they are left to clean up what the 60's and 70's generation left them. Sad!

GWB's Iraq Oil war was fought under the US Stars & Stripes... not the Iraq flag. But you can keep posting it and some people will believe you.

Boxy......the issues today are a DIRECT RESULTS of the last 60's and 70's generation. These issues have finally come to fruition. SUCCESS!!
The worse legacy ever left to a future generation IN HISTORY!!!

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how misguided it is. Of course your opinion ignores the facts, but that is your right.

it is upside down. ever wonder why when they thought up the design for the dollar the pyramid with the eye is floating? the head (government) is above the people... The people are not the government. Oh yes people run the government but the governed do not govern the government. the government governs the governed. we here today anre not the WE THE PEOPLE in that constitution. That was they the people and for there posterity. Are any of us their posterity or have they inbred themselves for a long time? How many of the senetors judges, ambareassadors, re presenters are related? there is only one fix for an upside down thing, turn it upside down. this teabagger thing is gonna heat things up for the globalists ,you will notice most folks who gnash there teeth at tea party folks are likely of the globalist collectivist ilk. so ya got some who love being governerned by others and ya got some who like to govern themselves.. Many people who crave government do not want it for themselves it is for everybody else. The real enemy is this superstition imposed upon us from birth that we need to be under some one elses authority.. and ya gotta get over the teabagger name callin thing its old its dead it does not matter any more cuz many of our politicians and rulers are real teabaggers themselves. crazy aint it? I wonder if Barney Frank is a Teabagger? when he speaks it does sound like heez got balls in his throat.
