<<<I know you seem to think Ron Paul is a racist - people have mushroomed out of all kinds of corners to attack him on that issue.>>> I am sure Paul does not think of himself as a racist but a lot of Paul's followers are racists. They hide behind a code that stands for racism. I have no idea what the percentage of Paul's followers are racist but my sense is that a substantial number of his followers are. For many years in American politics “law and order” has been code for racism. Bang them up and throw away the key, fry them in the electric chair, put them down like dogs. They of course being criminals who “coincidentally” were low class blacks and rednecks rather than middle class white employers of illegal migrant labour or tax evaders (hard working people who make America great in libertarianspeak). Gun ownership and “Second amendment rights” activism has also been about racism too. Just look at South Africa, Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe, Israel and the Wild West and you will see the pattern, when a race in a dominant position in a mixed community feels threatened they seek refuge in going about armed for “protection against criminals”. People who really believe in "law and order" and "Secod admendment rights" should make some efort to separate themselves from racists hiding behind their "noble" ideology.
