First, that's not racism anyway but he knows something about virtue. When he practiced as a doctor, he never refused anyone and always charged the least and if someone wasn't able to pay it was no problem. Now why is the society nowadays so rotten? Because we exchanged the human ability of developing empathy and social responsibility with a system of bureaucracy that trying to get us to help other people with the use of physical force and coercion.<br /><br />One can not be virtuous if there is no choice.<br /><br />"Personally we have a responsibility to help poor people, but i don't have the right to steal from you and give it to someone else." Ron Paul<br /><br />Sorry for my grammar, I'm German.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE9B29D7CCB3B9843Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-88124209674417271412012-05-09T13:27:18.548-08:002012-05-09T13:27:18.548-08:00Harpboy you need to get your facts straight.

Even if he were a racist, which he's not as he routinely provided free health care to impoverished blacks during his time in medical practice, that's still better than a mass murderer and somebody who condones torture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-981267303705779362012-05-09T11:25:39.246-08:002012-05-09T11:25:39.246-08:00"he's a racist who would let someone with..."he's a racist who would let someone without health insurance die without treatment if they couldn't pay cash at a hospital."<br /><br />He has a long history of treating everyone equally in his professional life. He also never turned away the poor from his own medical practice, he used a sliding scale, and even waved fees to those who were poor. <br /><br />As a quick empirical answer to both, please watch this short clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4&feature=player_embedded<br /><br /> Also, he is pro choice, in that, he wants the power to make that choice moved to a local level. There is nothing wrong with this, honestly Id prefer it. That always leaves the option to travel between states for various things open, where as right now, were roe v wade to be repealed and that power to remain federal, out would come the clothes hangars.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443989339020897934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-8678828168938252012012-01-13T00:36:38.607-09:002012-01-13T00:36:38.607-09:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4&fea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rv0Z5SNrF4&feature=youtube_gdata_playerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-54032154753934750022012-01-12T21:50:14.538-09:002012-01-12T21:50:14.538-09:00"If you want to rail against our failed Presi..."If you want to rail against our failed President, go right ahead, but please don't promote this selfish Ayn Rand following bigot."<br /><br />HbAK,<br /><br />I'm not promoting Ron Paul. I'm promoting the anti-war ideas he is the only exponent of in the 2012 scenario, as we prepare to embark on War with Iran.<br /><br />I haven't voted for an anti-choice candidate since Roe v.
