Why I Do Not Support Ron Paul

• Take a look at this @RP_Newsletter
• He’s been publishing racist and homophobic newsletters that used fear mongering and conspiracy theories such as an impending ‘race war’ to manipulate people into giving him money for years, and though now he acts like he had no idea (even if that was true, it’s idiotic to sign your name to a newsletter that not only you didn’t write, but that you didn’t supposedly read or agree with) he clearly did. 
• More here, here, and here. 
• He wants to pull out of the freaking United Nations, partly because he thinks the International Baccalaureate program is some kooky mind control.
• He thinks Church and State shouldn’t be separated (“The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers.”)Because apparently Jefferson (“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”) is not a founding father. Or Madison (“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.”)
• He wants to ENABLE big corporations by banishing the minimum wage (“It would help the poor people who need jobs. Minimum wage is a mandate. We’re against mandates so why should we have it? It would be very beneficial.”)
• He is against equal pay for women (“The concept of equal pay for equal work is not only an impossible task, it can only be accomplished with the total rejection of the idea of the voluntary contract. The idea that a businessman must hire anyone and is prevented from firing anyone for any reason he chooses, and in the name of rights, is a clear indication that the basic concept of a free society has been lost.”)
• He is against the ENTIRETY of Planned Parenthood, an organization which gives reduced and free family planning services, birth control, and relational therapy opportunities. 
• He wants to eliminate the Estate tax (which would help the rich avoid taxes since it only counts towards inherited money worth a MILLION dollars or more)
• He wants to cut the corporate tax rates
• He wants to eliminate birthright citizenship 
• He wants to take back the Panama Canal   (WHAT??)
• He’s deluded into thinking that there is a war on Christianity in America (Because it’s not like there’s a zillion foot tall Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center every year, and we totally like to punish Christians for praying in schools and going to Ash Wednesday. And the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t have “Under God” anymore, because you KNOW how America hates Christians! Wait…)
• He opposes the Americans with Disabilities Act
• He’s against the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.
• He’s against rights for any minority groupings
• He wants to go back to the Gold Standard, which, even Winston Churchill said it was the stupidest thing he ever did. 
• He supports authoritarianism on a state and local level
• He wants to leave us at the mercy of the unchecked, unregulated corporation
• Did I mention that apparently if you’re sexually harassed, Ronny thinks it’s your fault and you should get another job?
