Here it is, a collection of some of Paul’s “greatest” quotes,
taken from seven of his monthly political newsletters written between 1990
and 1994. Because of the incredibly politically incorrect content, Morris
asked Paul to release all past copies of the Ron Paul Survival Report to the media, going back to the newsletter’s origin in 1986. Paul promised
to do so, but never did. Individual copies, however, can be requested from
his surfside home, at 409/233-5854. As to why he wouldn’t release his entire
body of work to the media, Paul says voters may not understand his “tongue-in-cheek,
academic” writings.
* “Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks
have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual
liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action.”
* Although “we are told that it is evil to be afraid of black men,
it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings
and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”
* “Black males age 13 that have been raised on the streets and who
have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary, and culpable
as any adult and should be treated as such.”
* “The Earth Summit is the creepiest meeting of politicos since
the first gathering of Bolsheviks. Officially known as the UN Conference
for Environment and Development, it will be held in Brazil in June; bad
guys from all over the globe will attend.”
* “[Hillary Clinton] is one of the most dangerous women in public
life. Not only is she a fanatical abortion advocate, she wants parents to
register with the government as a condition for having children to be able
to sue and `divorce’ themselves from their parents. Maybe her daughter ought
to sue her parents for attempting to raise her as a leftist. That sure qualifies
as abuse to me.”
* “…University of Texas affirmative action law professor Barbara
Jordan is a fraud. Everything from her imitation British accent, to her
supposed expertise in law, to her distinguished career in public service,
is made up. If there were ever a modern case of the empress without clothes,
this is it. She is the archetypical half-educated victimologist, yet her
race and sex protect her from criticism.”
* Disgruntled taxpayer “Dean Hicks fired bombs through mortars at
night at buildings of the Internal Revenue Service in California. Hicks
did damage federal property, but no individuals were injured… Hicks was
sentenced to 20 years in prison, given a $45,000 fine, and ordered to pay
$335,000 in restitution to the IRS. If he had been a serial murderer, he
would not have gotten this sort of sentence.”
* “Why do we need the federal government? There’s no Cold War and
no Communist threat. Many other nations are breaking into smaller and smaller
pieces. The centralization of power in Washington occurred in a different
time. Why not think about getting rid of the federal government, returning
to the system of our Founders, and breaking up the United States into smaller
government units?”
* “There is good news after the L.A. riots. Statewide, gun sales
are up 45% over the same period last year. People have been purchasing a
record number. If the cops are not going to take care of the problem, the
people will.”
* “There is no such thing as a hate crime, only crimes against person
and property.” — A.M.
