Come on dude, I explicitly went and pushed the farthest out stereotype to specifically avoid relating it to you. My point was, and is, that I'm willing to defend the rights to an opinion of people who have opinions I hold most odious. The "you" in that is "you people in the total abstract". If I felt you were anywhere even vaguely close, I wouldn't be having this (or probably any other) discussion with you. Please show me a little more respect than that as I respect you. > Likewise, you can sit on your porch and drink beer with your friends and > spit vitriol on every nigger-loving papist homo in Congress and I'll defend > your right to do so. > > > "That's why the Civil Rights Act was right and Rand Paul is wrong.

And he explained all the issues he had with it and was equivocating and refused to answer the question, evading instead. It seems pretty obvious to me that he would not have voted for it and does not support it. There were no personal attacks meant or intended. I don't think that Rand Paul is a racist but I do think that his interpretation of the balance of power between business rights and the rights of the community are grossly out of balance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319452 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
