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: “I’m 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 it’s an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. We’ve 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 God’s 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:
America
"Define tyranny."
Turning your back on your obligations, national security, friends and allies.
Wow! That and $3.50 will buy Ron Paul a Venti-sized Latte at Starbucks.
You better watch it. If the Paulistinians confuse your name with “spliff”, then you may have a fight on your hands.
Are you saying that I might get smoked?
Her? I'm speaking of the entire Arab world. You remember, that place that was divvied up after WWI?
No sense in helping stablize the Iraqi government now that Saddam is gone right?
Heh, stabilize it. Go to it for all I care. It will be an exercise in futility though. Most likely Iraq will lean to Iran the second US forces are gone and possibly even merge with them as the Persians begin a long arduous process of recreating some of the empire. It's inevitable. Will they be 'free' to do that or is that not considered 'free' in your world of US hegemony? I think what you need to begin to understand is no amount of wishing, standing in the street supporting very brave troops doing a thankless job, or vote you cast will do anything to prevent this from occurring. You can claim it will as I imagine some British or French writer did in support of their international 'holdings' but it won't change the outcome.
And yet I also see you answered none of my questions either (something you very rarely do. Are they too tough for you?). Again, define 'free', define 'tyranny'.
something like that
Fatalism on parade.
Conservatives are supposed to be forward thinking, people who make things get done, when things get tough, get tougher, teach people to fish, etc.
So how are Ron Paul supporters Conservative again?
You love posting your cheesy pics and JPEGS don’t you, probably substituting the fact that you’re unable to come up with a coherent post. I bet you have tons of boxes of Crayolas & construction paper at home.
Classic!
I was wondering where you were all day, because I can always use more laughter. Your surrender monkey buddies on this thread are providing plenty of it currently.
Spiff, get real. You shill for a flip-flopper who was just pro-abortion a mere 3 years ago.
Of course, because you have nothing better to do all day but to crack your ad-hominems and post your cheesy pics. Your laughter is akin to someone laughing at one of the dogs in a Mike Vick dogfight. Yeah, you're cool because you got your pictures taken with JimRob and President Bush and that feeds your superiority complex.
You are correct for once.
I have a 5 and 8 year old, and my wife is a first grade teacher. I have plenty enough for all of us
No arguments from me :)
Did you know that Ron Paul supported most favored nation status for China?
In his own words:

Well it’s been fun but you won’t answer the questions put to you. Go back to posting jpegs. Those were funny.
Funny, your link leads to an April 2003 column by Dr. Paul advocating the US to get out of the UN (HR 1146). I don't see anything in the column about Paul supporting MFN for China. BTW, does Hunter supports getting the US out of the UN? Has he ever co-sponsored a bill advocating such?
Actually Paul opposes MFN & other trade agreements just like Hunter does.
Smoked. Very applicable considering the crowd.
However victory will.
Or are you and the other Paulinati opposed to such.
Whoop deee dooo
