I came up with 25 questions for the presidential candidates regarding Neo-Confederacy. What I am putting in this blog is just the draft versions. I will try to get them in the mail this month.
A lot of Neo-Confederates think Ron Paul is their friend. I wonder if Ron Paul will be willing to answer these questions and how would he answer. I think most of the candidates, Republican and Democrat would not want to answer these issues, but I would think that Ron Paul, who is supposed to be something other than a usual politician would be glad to answer these questions. Or maybe not.
