Ron Paul's Statement of Faith (says he's "accepted Jesus Christ")
Pundit House ^ | July 13, 2011 | Ron Paul

Posted on 11/06/2011 6:40:00 PM PST by Kurt Evans

My faith is a deeply private issue to me, and I don't speak on it in great detail during my speeches because I want to avoid any appearance of exploiting it for political gain. Let me be very clear here: I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate...

America became the greatest nation in human history because a dedicated band of Patriots believed their God-given rights were worth fighting for, even if it meant challenging the world's most powerful nation in what many deemed a "hopeless" cause...

Since I'm asking for your vote and your trust to lead this nation, let me tell you a little bit about my background and beliefs.

My parents raised my four brothers and me on a dairy near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they set clear examples for each of us about faith, honest living, and individual responsibility. Their Christian values helped inspire two of my brothers to eventually enter the ministry, and provided me with the foundation I needed to practice medicine and one day become a U.S. Representative.

In addition to my time in Congress, I am proud to have delivered over 4,000 babies as a country doctor in Texas. As I trained to practice medicine, I became convinced without a doubt that life begins at the moment of conception. I never performed an abortion, and I never once found an abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. In fact, I successfully helped women struggling with their pregnancies to seek other options, including adoption...

We must stand for life—not allow millions of innocent children to continue to be slaughtered with the government's approval.

We must follow the Biblical mandate of using honest weights and measures—not printing money out of thin air in almost complete secrecy and then handing it over to oppressive dictators.

We must only send our men and women to fight for our country when the mission is clear, every tool needed to win is provided, and we respect the Constitution by declaring war...

As President, I give you my word that I will only exercise my authority within the confines of the Constitution, and I will work every day to rein in a runaway federal government by binding it with the chains of that document.

You mean NATO? Israel? Saudi? Japan? Korea? Germany? - They need to be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Quit huffing paint.

I posted a piece saying that more active duty military personnel gave to Paul than to any other candidate. Your counter was "oh yeah, it's just the REMFs. I know this because of 5 or 6 guys I know in uniform that support Paul, and they're all REMFs."

You're the one calling the data into question. You're the one who needs to parse it out to prove your point, not me. This is elementary stuff. Do your own homework, ma'am.

Out of curiousity, isn’t the slogan of the RuPaulista SS “America First ?” Why all this love for Iran ?

We all know the real answer, but I’d like to see one RuPaul’s acolytes take a shot at answering the question honestly.

Hemingway's Ghost and jd777:

Hemingway's Ghost apparently prefers to be Ahmadinejad's step-n-fetchit.

If the choice is between permanent war and surrender to the Islamofascisti or even tolerating their continued existence in charge of nations, permanent war is preferable.

Fortunately, that is not the choice. The actual choice is between destroying the Islamofascisti promptly and permanently by whatever means necessary or knuckling under to them. Destruction of the Islamofascisti is far preferable. USS Ohio and her sister ships say hello!

Neville Chamberlain was a coward and not a conservative. That umbrella tapping surrenderman is no role model for anyone much less for conservatives who ARE conservative.

Ron Paul is a surrendermonkey and ditto.

Chuck Hagel, Weepy Walter Jones, Jimmy Duncan, likewise.

Our symbol is the Bald Eagle and not the ostrich.

What on earth are paleopacifist weenies doing on a patriotic website?

False either-this-or-that choice.

I've worn the uniform, pal, and I've been participating on this site longer than you have. You argue like a hysterical mental patient.
