Paul visits area on eve of primary

Ron Paul has made no secret the fact that he thought that the South was right in the Civil War. Here he is giving a speech in front of a giant Confederate Flag about why he believes the North was wrong in the Civil War and why the South was right.


Ron Paul is a neo-Confederate, and proud member of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, which has been labeled as a neo-Confederate organization. In the video he claims that the North should have paid to buy slaves from southern slave owners to avoid the war, rather than the South renouncing slavery. Paul also fails to bring up the fact that it was the South that started the war by attacking the North in 1861.


Ron Paul was also was the only member of congress to vote against honoring the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 in on its 40th anniversary in 2004. Paul would also claim that he wouldn’t have voted for it at the time, putting him on the side of the racists in both the fight against slavery and the fight against Jim Crow segregation, the two defining struggles of Black people in America.


Ron Paul presidency will rein in out of control regulatory agencies," Bunker said. "I also applaud Ron's valiant effort to protect the unborn, defend the Second Amendment and secure our borders."


Paul wants to cut federal spending by $1 trillion in the first year. Both parties consider that heresy but are not really talking about meaningful spending cuts, he said.


"The only reassurance I get is when I meet with people like you," Paul said. "People are recognizing there are too many special interests. We're spending $1 trillion a year on military operations and foreign aid. Why not spend it at home?


Aiken resident Seth Miller worked for the Democratic Party in Georgia in 2008 and helped coordinate a campaign for a Democratic candidate in North Carolina two years later. Since then, he has become disenchanted with both political parties.


"I don't like special interests running elections," Miller said. "I want to end the domestic and foreign wars. Even if Dr. Paul doesn't win, it will be a strong statement to the policymakers that a lot of people are in support of that. I would not consider myself a Republican or Democrat. I'm an American."


Paul has had to defend himself recently from 1980s and '90s newsletters published by him with racially-offensive statements. He didn't mention that Friday but has said he didn't write them. Miller isn't concerned about that controversy.


"If you're voting for somebody for public office, none of them are going to be squeaky clean," Miler said. "Dr. Paul is so honest, and he's going to do what he says he will do."
