The following statement has been issued by Michael Anthony Peroutka, the Presidential candidate of the Constitution Party in 2004. He is also co-founder, with his brother Steve, of Institute On The Constitution. And he is co-host, with John Lofton, of The American View radio show.
I endorse Rep. Ron Paul for President. And I endorse him not because he is the lesser of two evils. A Christian can never endorse any kind of evil. I endorse Rep. Paul because from a Christian/Biblical and Constitutional perspective he is, by far, the best candidate running for President.
Rep. Paul believes, correctly, that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant word of God and thus it is not the role of God-ordained civil government, at any level, to feed, house, clothe or educate anybody.
Rep. Paul takes his oath to God as a Congressman seriously and believes, correctly, that the Constitution is the highest man-made law in our land, that it severely restricts what the Federal Government can legally do, and it must be obeyed. This is why, as he states on his campaign web site, he has: never voted to raise taxes; never voted for an unbalanced budget; never voted for a Federal restriction on gun ownership; never voted to raise Congressional pay; never taken a government-paid junket; and has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
In addition, Rep. Paul has voted against: the Patriot Act; regulating the Internet; and he voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Rep. Paul, again correctly, is truly pro-life and believes that there are no circumstances under which it is OK to murder by abortion any innocent unborn babies.
Another admirable characteristic demonstrated repeatedly by Rep. Paul is that he speaks honestly and plainly. In one of the recent GOP candidate debates, re: the Iraq war, he said: Yes, I would leave. I would leave completely no troops in the region there, none. Period. He added: We need a new foreign policy to mind our own business, bring our troops home, defend this country, defend our borders.
When his questioner dishonestly accused him of saying that we should take our marching orders from Al Qaida who also want us to withdraw from the Arabian Peninsula, Rep. Paul replied: Im saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution. We should not go to war without a declaration. We should not go to war when its an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. Weve committed the invasion of this war. [The Constitution is] where I take my marching orders, not from any enemy.
Well, amen!, Rep. Paul. God bless you, sir, and your family as you proceed in this campaign. And God does bless us when we obey Him.
Rep. Ron Paul is a real patriot who understands that true love of country requires, first, trusting in Gods Providence and next obedience to our Constitution. He is a man who rejects mindless jingoism such as My country right or wrong. Instead, he believes that when our country is wrong as it is today in many ways true patriots must work to set us right. As President, Ron Paul, I believe, would work Christianly and Constitutionally to set our country right. This is why, in good conscience, I endorse his candidacy for President of the United States.
A footnote: You may hear our recent interview of Rep. Paul by downloading the following file:
Using William F. Buckley is an equally laughable ploy. I stopped reading that rag soon after they canned Ann Coulter for speaking the truth about Islam.
Conservatism is not about ignoring external threats and blaming America for it's enemies. That is exclusively the ideology if liberals and idiots.
Does that mean he'll get the Constitution Party to advocate asylum for non-Christians in the future, not just acknowledge they've been granted asylum in the past and present?
Restoring our right to the Panama Canal zone, I suppose that won't be an entanglement for Paul, it being sovereign American soil.
Just what he needs, another moonbat endorsement.
Your tagline must be lifted directly from Moveon ghouls.
Don't let the virtual forum door hit you on the way out, because you certainly are not in the right place.
Love the tag...
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
James Madison
Have a nice day!
No, he wants the government to stay away from the stash...
Nice try, but you are using it in the context of opposition to the Iraq war, thus you are in bed with Moveon.org trolls.
Have a nice day, surrender monkey!
Well, that solidifies the 9/11 Truther vote.
Using it in the context of opposing the Iraq war is wrong.
See #23!
Thanks.
Then see # 28
I'm sure Stalin has a quote that fits your agenda as well.
Dude!
You really showed him, you are like all cool and stuff...
I can't say that I am not impressed by his attempt to confuse.
Just wait until those brave "comrades" of his come riding to the rescue.
The Paulistinians favorite historical figure?
They..
Aw hell never mind, you know what I am thinking...
Although it can be fun, I can't wait until Freerepublic is Free of Ron Paul. That day is coming soon.
One loser endorsing another loser. Ho-hum.
Yeah come on JTN!! You can only use the Framers' quotes in opposition to wars started by Democrats! Seriously...
The faithful like lormand here can give as much grief as they want to Rep. Paul. Because come next year, whoever the Republican candidate is, if they want a snowball's chance to win they'll come out against it as well
Or does lormand think 37 percent of the general public is enough to win an election?
