[Servant of the Cross]

I'm glad you asked. Thank you for the opportunity to explain. First, think Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard. Imagine all of the images that that conjures up. Next, think of the caricature that libs throw onto the word "fundamentalist". Think of the image that that brings to mind. Clearly, this presents a group of people with certain beliefs (read: nutty) blindy following a human leader (read: immensely flawed and obviously nutty).

Okay, then think of Ron Paul. First name RON followed by DAMENTALIST. Clever, huh?

Full disclosure. I stole it from Paulycy, who is a FReeper idol of mine. I used to use Paulistas but much prefer Rondamentalist now.

Servant of the Cross, you have 'idols'...?

I do not.

I happen to despise Scientology. I am not a Paulista. BTW, your word is too long. I don't worship any humans, they are flawed, and I am a (flawed)Christian.

As for Rand Paul, acorns don't fall far from the oak, but he sounds very conservative to me at this point. Sarah Palin supports him. Another thing: If Ron Paul is anti-Semite as are many of his followers, where does that leave me, when I strongly support Israel's right to exist and strongly believe our leaders past & present have interfered with her to the point of forcing her to give up her land!

Hitler's Nazi Germany killed millions of Jews, Stalin killed great numbers of Jews; under the Third Reich a citizen did not have the right to free speech and any speech had to agree with the nazi doctrine. Or, you vere kaput, or sent by cattle car to those nice cammps with the wrought iron sign: Arbeit Mach Frei.
