Ron Paul, The Revolutionary Freedom Master wrote:The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. Throughout our nation’s history, churches have done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility. Moral and civil individuals are largely governed by their own sense of right and wrong, and hence have little need for external government. This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the people’s allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before their faith in the state. Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nation’s Christian heritage. Christmas itself may soon be a casualty of that war.


He is insane.

I've read enough to go about this guy and his views to know that he's a prick.

Are people seriously suggesting the solution to America's ills is to put a pro-life schmuck in the Whitehouse? And what is this fetish for Libertarianism that some people have here based on? Get rid of federal control! Destroy what fledgling free health care system we might have! Y'all is bonkers.

Bingo.

He went to bed about a decade ago, or whenever he sold his soul to the bankers and the elites.

Ron Paul is far from an ideal candidate, but that's not saying much. An ideal candidate doesn't exist.

I don't agree with his stance on abortion, or illegal immigration, but going by what he's said, he would leave it up to the states to decide on abortion. I agree with his anti-federalist stance. From what I've seen and read, Ron Paul is the only candidate worth voting for.

My .02 cents, this is such a bad idea:

We've seen how completely screwed up, and corrupt this government is, so why in the hell would you want more of it?

Ron Paul is a lunatic. He wants to get rid of the income tax and rely instead on a greatly-increased sales tax. Who do you think will end up harmed by this? Poor and middle-class consumers.

And how does he expect to deal with the huge deficit we have going right now? By cutting programs. LOTS of programs. That means environmental regulations, public schools, public health care, the CIA, and the military. Hilariously, he thinks that cutting all of these programs will make our society safer, cleaner and healthier. If you believe that, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell ya.

Like I said, he's a lunatic. He's also a racist and a social Darwinist. Fuck him.

Actually you weren't really pro-Paul until you were confronted by the fact that the reasonable lefties on this board hate your damn guts. So you have drifted into inane "The sheeple have made their choice!" libertarian bullshit.

Ron Paul is anti-bankers? Get up-a. The missing degree to this beaut is a conspiracy theory.
