Ron Paul speaks out against CISPA
What they were answering

I don't hate Ron Paul. I don't think he would make a good president.
I don't think Obama is perfect but it's silly to say he's "destroyed civil liberties". Congress makes these laws, they are bad because they are misguided. Never assume malice when incompetence is more likely.
Throughout this thread tons of people have pointed out why they dont like Paul. For me it's that his economic policy is insane, he's against CISPA because it has to do with the government (if a group of companies did it, he would be A-OK with it), his stance on abortion and climate change and the fact that he's a closet racist.

Congress was going to pass NDAA with verbiage in it specifically excluding American citizens. However, Obama said he would veto the bill unless the wording was redone to include all US citizens. He also signed the extension to the Patriot Act. This is what people are speaking to when they say Obama has destroyed civil liberties.
