]]> In contrast to my previous post on Republican U.S. House candidate Ron McNeil telling schoolkids that Islam is the enemy, Rep. Ron Paul demonstrates what happens when you take conservatism to its logical end (and in the process, showing up even Democrats when it comes to protecting civil rights):

I think it’s a big distraction, a grand distraction from the real issues… To me it should have been a grand opportunity, and you really touched on the opportunity, because it’s really a property rights issue, and who owns the property? And it’s also a civil liberties issue. It’s a freedom of speech issue… Property rights and civil rights are one and the same… drives the neo-cons nuts… I don’t believe for a minute that the, quote, religion of Islam is our enemy.
