There are many reasons to think Ron Paul is a bottom feeder. He refuses to support a Constitutional amendment to protect normal, heterosexual marriage. He voted to turn the United States military into a San Francisco bath house by repealing DADT. He wants to see drugs and prostitution legalized. He thinks Islamo-Nazi Iran should have a nuclear weapon. He surrounds himself with lunatics like Cindy Sheehan's love slave, Screwy Lewy Rockwell. In general, there isn't a sewer RuPaul (H/T: Mark Levin) isn't too proud to hunt for food in.
Then, there's this. From CBS News:
***********************************
"Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul is breaking with many of his fellow Republicans - among them his son Rand - to support the creation of the planned Islamic cultural center near the former site of the World Trade Center that has come to be known as the 'ground zero mosque.'
In a statement decrying 'demagogy' around the issue, the former Republican presidential candidate wrote late last week that "the debate should have provided the conservative defenders of property rights with a perfect example of how the right to own property also protects the 1st Amendment rights of assembly and religion by supporting the building of the mosque.'
'Instead, we hear lip service given to the property rights position while demanding that the need to be 'sensitive' requires an all-out assault on the building of a mosque, several blocks from 'ground zero,' Paul continues.
He goes on to argue that 'the neo-conservatives' who demand continual war in the Middle East and Central Asia...never miss a chance to use hatred toward Muslims to rally support for the ill conceived preventative wars."

Yes, I know this is old news. No, I'm not breaking any new ground here. However, since Ol' Ru is running for President, this crap should be revisited. (Even Howard "YEAAAAAAAAH!" Dean thought this was a bad idea.)
I don't want to get involved in the technical legalities about whether or not this House of Hatred should or should not be built, since the developers don't seem to have the money for Lincoln Logs, let alone building a gazillion dollar insult. That was beaten to death last year and I don't feel like rehashing it. What I want to focus on is RuPaul's detestable attitude on the matter. (Which is eerirly similiar to Chariman Obama's and Nazi Pelosi's detestable attitude on the matter.)
The above snippet shows, once again, that RuPaul is NOT a Conservative, regardless of what his drug addict followers claim. He's basically an anarchist, and this little episode proves it.
Now, before we get started, I think it's appropriate to explain what I mean by anarchist. I'm not talking in this sense of a bomb-thowing V For Vendetta type. I'm talking about someone who believes they have the right to do what they please when they feel like doing it. That's what RuPaul is advocating here. This has nothing to do with "neo-conservative" war mongering or the religious rights of Muslims. (This is a bare-bones explanation of RuPaul's mentor Murray Rothbard's anarcho-capitalism, which basically states that society should allow individuals to do as they please as long as they can afford to do so.)
A Conservative doesn't believe in any of the above nonsense. A Conservative is a staunch defender of the individual and his rights, but the Conservative also believes in common sense and morality. For example, a Conservative would defend a bar owner's right to allow smoking in his bar, but a Conservative would fight tooth and nail to stop a strip club from opening next to an elementary school or a church. The Conservative fights for limited government, but never for anarchy. The Conservative also believes that while the individual has rights and those rights should be defended at all costs, the individual should use those rights in a responsible manner. In other words, the Conserative may very well want to give the social finger to the driver of a Smart Car with a "Obama 2012" bumper sticker, but he doesn't because he believes in a polite moral society.
Ladies and gentlemen, yes there's a fine line that often gets blurred when it comes to our rights, and I don't claim to have all the answers. But I will tell you this, I sure do understand our rights better than Ron Paul does.
So what would you like Ron Paul to do about this? Outlaw gay PACs? It seems there are a lot of people who are good about pointing out problems, but are way short on solutions.
I didnt put Jeff Gannon in the white house press room,
So who did?
Morality is not coerced, it is demonstrated and thusly followed by example,
Find me leaders who can lead by example.
Until then, I support Dr Paul,
I don’t recall ever saying I support Gingrich.
“It’s more than a little creepy.”
What’s creepy around here is liberaltarians helping their inbred leftist cousins push the homosexual agenda.
Excuse me but Ron Paul is a nutjob and he should retire. THAT is the ONLY thing that I want him to do.
You must be new here....
He is retiring.
You’re only on #985? You’re still counting?
Character counts. Having an intact moral compass counts. Immoral behavior and/or espousing it also counts, as a black mark.
I do not trust Gringrich at all, both for his various statements and positions and his life. I would have a very, very hard time voting for him. I can’t and won’t vote for Romney, not sure if I could Gingrich. Sickens me to think of it.
I’m not obsessed with “gay” (means happy and carefree, btw, not homosexuals at all), I am sick and tired of their assault on everyone else and forcing everyone to celebrate their perversity and go a good long way towards destroying our freedoms of speech, association and religion. I’m not “obsessing”, I’m “fighting back”. A big, big difference. People who remain silent are giving in to the enemy or activiely supporting it.
You go right along thinking that, Paulbot. Just like the Ignorant Left, you don’t seem to grasp the fact that we surround YOU, it’s not, nor will it ever be, the other way around.

Never fear. He’ll be back. Just zotted a half a dozen new retread paultard spambot accounts on his IP address since he was banned. That’s how they operate in polls and on FR. There’s probably really only one real life poster behind every 100 paultard accounts.
Paultards have been doing this since at least 2007.
How did “I” place this debt on my children, exactly ?
Find me one who is opposed to homosexuals in the military, the homosexual agenda in general including same sex marriage, and abortion, and who is not a serial adulterer, and I’ll think about it.
I liked Sarah Palin but she’s not running.
Of course I have other criteria such as fighting corrupting in gov and reducing spending and other crap the fedgov does (I’d like reducing about 80% but a good start is better than nothing).
Who supports homosexuals in the military and thinks "gays" should be able to marry each other. Sounds as though your moral compass needs proper calibrating. Oh, and btw - please answer a simple "yes" or "no" - should homosexuals be allowed in the military?
Uh, I ddin’t put Jeff Gannon in the WH press room.
:(
Sadly, I went to a public school. My teachers were more interested in pushing the Marxist agenda of the NEA than teaching.
“Was” is the operative word.
Got the ol’ zot.....
He is? Running for President? Right.
He's retiring from Comgress.
There, there. You can stop counting, though. Just throw him in there with Lyndon Larouche, that Texan with the big ears who keeps hearing giant sucking sounds (what was his name again?), and David Duke. They all belong in the same box: people who keep running for POTUS in order to make some idiotic statement that they themselves can’t define. Then home school yourself until you recover from the aforementioned NEA brainwashers.
Then he’s retiring from politics because he is NEVER going to be President.
