“Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well, he may be a fool but he’s our fool…”
— Randy Newman, “Rednecks“
Last week, fresh from winning the GOP nomination for Sen. Jim
Bunning‘s old seat, tea party favorite Rand Paul told a couple of interviewers that he had a problem with the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 — that is, it uses the force of law to make
businesses admit black people (“Does the owner of the restaurant own his
restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?”), rather than
using the power of the Free Market and libertarian
magic dust.
