Wasn't he also going on about how the 1964 civil Rights Act should be repealed?
The section about Title 2 and governments involvement in private business was the reason Ron Paul was against it. Rand Paul said he may have voted for it anyway.
I have a retirement account at work. Without question the governments QE programs have helped that account. What the government is doing there is wrong. It's taking from the lower classes and giving it to the upper classes. Yes, I have voted against those who support that program.
That might be a different case, but you still get the benefits. I feel like if the Civil Rights Act was appealed, some people might try to revert back to overtly racist ways. I worry about that because I feel that as some things change, some things stay the same.

Rand Paul is not influential to the Republican Party. He ran for Senator and won during a fragile time in which the Republican party wanted to take advantage of the anger and fear that ultra-conservatives were displaying. Rand Paul comes off as unprepared and unqualified for his position. He is the emotional leader of the Tea Party section of the Republican Party and because of that he stays relevant. I'd imagine that the intelligent and experienced Republican senators and representatives find him to be just a pawn and tool. As for his "racist ties," he doesn't care. He took his shot at gaining some "minority" following and that was probably the only attempt he wanted to take.

You made this all up because you have nothing to refute the policies he supports. Your entire post was a ridiculous cheerleader post lacking any substance whatsoever and you are unable to prove one thing in it. But because you said so it must be true.

I understand your concerns. Some places will be openly racist but they'd be few and far between. It's better if its out in the open imo then you can fight it. Why work for someone who won't advance you because they are racist? Years at work wasted. Why help that company?
We the people are the ones to look to as far as what happens in society. When government gets involved they use force and coercion. Society doesn't advance that way.
Here's an update on this situation. For those of you who may have defended Jack Hunter on this thread it looks like even Rand Paul recognized this guy's past statements as racially charged and stupid!
Quote:
An aide to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) whose past remarks on the Confederacy and Abraham Lincoln stirred controversy earlier this month has resigned.
In an email to the Daily Caller posted Sunday evening, Jack Hunter said he has left Paul's office to further pursue a career in political punditry:
A Paul aide confirmed Hunter's resignation.
Hunter, a self-professed "Southern Avenger," came under fire after the Washington Free Beacon reported on his pro-Confederate views. Hunter, who co-wrote Paul's 2011 book, has said Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth's "heart was in the right place" and that he "raise[s] a personal toast every May 10" in honor of Booth's birthday. He also has worn a Confederate flag mask during public appearances.
Paul defended Hunter in an interview with The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman,calling his aide "incredibly talented," but acknowledging that his racially charged writings were "absolutely stupid."
