General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Why Ron Paul attracts some liberals. [View all]I've dismissed attacks against his character that haven't been proven. If you have clearly racist or sexist or homophobic quotes by him from reliable sources, I'd love to see them. As yet I haven't seen such quotes.
What I have done is illustrate to some extent his views as I understand them, not dismiss them, and have indeed expressed my disagreement with those views on which I disagree.
Yes, I do indeed, vehemently, seek to be fair and honest. It is a mystery to me why that standard offends some people, but I know that it does. In those cases, I guess those individuals will just have to be offended.
I do wish we, as a nation, could focus more on the issues and ideas rather than engage in personal attacks and character assassination.
As I indicated in a previous post, I am opposed to Paul's views on SS, Medicare and health care.
