Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion. (Jun 1999
So Paul thinks states’ rights should trump parents’ rights. Libertarians really get confused sometimes.
Ron Paul is a nice man, but he is a libertarian, and they sometimes go off-the-wall on various issues.
And Ron Paul doesn’t understand Jihad.
Two choices:
1) Convert
2) Die (not very pro-life)
Ron Paul votes no on such things because they are NOT THE LEGITIMATE province of FedGov. Period. And parental rights trump state prerogatives except in CLEAR cases of abuse. Further, libertarians are far more CONSISTENT in their beliefs than, say, someone like you, who believes that FedGov can ignore the limits placed on it by the Constitution when such panders to YOUR concerns... but then EVERYONE ELSE gets their turn and soon enough there is no more Constitution and we have nothing but the police state we never wanted.
I think Dr. Paul might just offer the jihadists the same options I would: Crawl back under your rock and leave decent folks alone or your so-called 12th imam is gonna have to find his way out of the radioactive cesspool your precious Rock has become... and with it your religion, which is based on the “infallibility” of that Rock.
But regardless, if we allow our Constitution to be treated as toilet paper by all and sundry, then it won’t matter a lot WHAT the jihadists do... we’ll have done worse to ourselves. Too many well meaning dupes (perhaps like you) seem to want to let FedGov do anything they want, usurp any power they choose, if only they grant you the ILLUSION of safety... and it’s ONLY an illusion. Without the boundaries set by the Constitution, we will have a fedgov that is so out of control, not even the Muzzies could make it worse. Too many priorities are way too misplaced and that does not bode well for this once-great nation so blessed by God at one time.
