GOOD! I was starting to think leary of this guy because of his undying loyalty to Israel. I guess any politician that wants to get elected nowadays has to kiss the butt of AIPAC.

It is patently illegal to hire someone solely on the basis of race, no matter how much you fantasize to the contrary.

What the hell are you talking about?? What Paul (both Rand and Ron) have argued is that companies should be able to discriminate on the basis of race ethnicity, etc. They believe discrimination should be perfectly legal in hiring, in who people serve at a lunch counter, etc.

Because the Declaration of Independence says "All men (sic) are created equal". Equality under the law, and all that.
