...is considering another run for United States President. He states on his website thousands of Tea Party members are urging him to run for president. Does David Duke represent all Republicans and conservatives? What are your thoughts? Dr. David Duke, a former member of the House of Representatives in Louisiana who served from 1989-1992, is shortly embarking on an extended, year-long speaking tour across the United States to gauge support for a possible entry in the next race for President of the United States.
He is seriously considering entering the Republican Party primaries for President of the United States.
Duke also was elected as Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee in the largest populated Republican district of Louisiana, St. Tammany Parish from 1996 to 2000.
David Duke is launching a Duke for President exploratory committee, and will soon start a year long tour across America from his home base in Mandeville, LA. He plans to speak in every state and gauge the political response to his possible entry into the race for the Republican nomination.
Thousands of Tea Party Activists and many others have urged him to run for President!
He believes that he has the support of the rank and file Tea Party Movement just as he had support of both the Republican conservative vote and Democratic hard hat vote in Louisiana. Over the past few weeks, since the release of his, “David Duke Speaks to the Tea Party” video, thousands of Tea Party activists have urged him to run for President.
In 1991, 1992, Dr. Duke ran for the US Senate and Governor of Louisiana, and won a landslide of White voters in each of those races. In 1993, although he fared better than a number of sitting republican congressmen and senators in some Republican Presidential Primaries, his constituency was divided by the fact that both he and Patrick Buchanan were in the race at the same time.
Dr. Duke thinks that the nation is ready for his candidacy, as he can show leadership on almost every Republican conservative issue. If the Democrats can elect Barack Obama to the President of the United States, the Republicans now have the man who, without doubt, offers the clearest answer to Obama. Interestingly, David Duke also opposes the foreign war stances of both Obama and McCain, and he believes that the American people thinks it is time to spend our money and our efforts in the battle for freedom at home and not overseas!
David Duke was also the first well-known Republican leader to speak out against the massive and destructive immigration that is changing the face of the United States. He thinks stopping immigration will be the paramount issue on the minds of most Americans. His issues are clear cut an powerful.More: www.davidduke.com/general/will-dr-david-duke-run-for-u-s-president_17873.html |

The Trouble With the '64 Civil Rights Act by Ron Paul On June 4, 2004, Congress hailed the 40th anniversary of the 1964 Act. Only the heroic Ron Paul dissented. Here are his comments. Mr. Speaker, I rise to explain my objection to H.Res. 676. I certainly join my colleagues in urging Americans to celebrate the progress this country has made in race relations. However, contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave the federal government unprecedented power over the hiring, employee relations, and customer service practices of every business in the country. The result was a massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free society. The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners to use their property as they please and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties. The rights of all private property owners, even those whose actions decent people find abhorrent, must be respected if we are to maintain a free society. This expansion of federal power was based on an erroneous interpretation of the congressional power to regulate interstate commerce. The framers of the Constitution intended the interstate commerce clause to create a free trade zone among the states, not to give the federal government regulatory power over every business that has any connection with interstate commerce. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society. Federal bureaucrats and judges cannot read minds to see if actions are motivated by racism. Therefore, the only way the federal government could ensure an employer was not violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that the racial composition of a business's workforce matched the racial composition of a bureaucrat or judge's defined body of potential employees. Thus, bureaucrats began forcing employers to hire by racial quota. Racial quotas have not contributed to racial harmony or advanced the goal of a color-blind society. Instead, these quotas encouraged racial balkanization, and fostered racial strife. " www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul188.html |
