<DIV>Maybe post less & read more. Start with the most recent “Reckless
Endangerment” by Gretchen Morgenson & Joshua Rosner-experts in financial
journalism not right wingnuts. There you’ll trace through the Affordable Housing
story.</DIV>
<DIV>Irag/Afghan Vets give more money to RP than all other candidates
combined.</DIV>
<DIV>As 2 immigration-RP is in line with the overall view of average
Americans-the ones demanding “Democracy Now.” I don’t think left elites really
want democracy.</DIV>
<DIV>The border is a very appropriate place for the military-when its keeping
invaders out-not its citizens in.</DIV>
<DIV>Paulistas don’t support an aggressive foreign policy-against regime change
wars </DIV>

clear=all>Paul voted against providing housing assistance to very low-income
veterans, against expanding education benefits for returning troops, and against
improving how the Department of Veterans Affairs is funded.
<P>No wonder the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Paul a <A
href="http://iava.capwiz.com/bio/id/567&lvl=C&chamber=H">big fat F</A>
on their congressional scorecard. </P>
<P>Paul’s anti-veteran votes are the logical conclusion of his libertarian
politics. Libertarians hate “Big Government,” by which they mean just about
every federal law and program under the sun. That’s why Paul is against the <A
href="http://paul.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=501&Itemid=60">minimum
wage</A>, <A href="http://www.nolanchart.com/article7907.html">Social Security,
Medicare, Medicaid, the food stamp program</A>, <A
href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-freedman/ron-paul-no-to-mandatory-_b_82765.html">mandatory
immunization</A>, and the <A
href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul188.html">1964 Civil Rights Act</A>
that ended Jim Crow segregation. </P>
<P>Yet Paul’s principled opposition to “Big Government” ends when it comes to
the issue of immigration. He supports <A
href="http://www.nolanchart.com/article7907.html">denying</A> undocumented
immigrants any form of legal status, <A
href="http://www.ontheissues.org/tx/Ron_Paul_Immigration.htm">repealing</A> the
Constitution’s fourteenth amendment guaranteeing citizenship by birthright,
militarizing the border, and forcing hospitals to report suspected undocumented
immigrants. A consistent libertarian would oppose all immigration controls
because they restrict an individual’s freedom to live where they please and
interfere with the laws of supply and demand governing international labor
markets. </P><BR>-- <BR>P2P Foundation: <A href="http://p2pfoundation.net"
