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.

Do I weally , weally suck, “professional writer” ?

Yes. Didn't I say as much? Do you have a comprehension problem, too?

No, I have Anti-Islamist Derangement Syndrome. It’s a crazy disease that makes me call out traitors like RuPaul, who likes to bash his own country on Islamo-Nazi TV. A symptom of this syndrome is bleeding Red, White, and Blue.

What a cornball. Wrapping one's self up in the flag is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Anything else I can help you with ?

Yes. Get your scrawny ass back into the kitchen where you belong, and make us all a sandwich.

“First off, you’re a terrible writer. I’ve been a professional writer all my professional life.”

Pompous to the Nth degree.

I don't mean for it to be insulting to Ron Paul's goose-stepping drones, but it shows that Ron Paul is NOT "Mr. Constitution" or some person worthy of cult worship.

No man is. Every man has his strengths and his frailties. So we've established that Ron Paul is human, just like the rest of us. Good.

Just calling them as I see them. Sorry to offend your boy, but it's the truth.

Well, no one’s perfect as far as any of these folks are concerned. Feel free to take shots at my candidates. I’m not a shill for any of them. It’s a free country after all, and my analysis is no better than yours, just as your analysis is no better than mine.

What aggravates me about RuPaul and his acolytes is the cult-like behavior. All of this “Only Ron Paul defends the Constitution” nonsense makes me want to scream.

Our nations is facing insolvency - and you blame ron paul.

I get it.

Also: thats the second time you made that lame college joke. Why do you put down community colleges? I personally got my masters at columbia but i would never insult anyone pursuing education - at any level.

Sooooo.....How many times have you been on the NY Slimes best seller list ? About as many times as RuPaul’s been President ?

Arrogance is perfectly a-ok if you have something to back it up with.

Every time I publish. Or never. Either way, it doesn't matter. You still suck.

In many cases, I like to fight the way my opponent fights. If my opponent just likes to flame, I think I can out-flame them. In our case, it got your attention, and your responses are increasingly coherent, logical and do not contain silly "you still here?" comments.

At Columbia, they should teach critical thinking. We can roll the tape back, and I'm sure I am not blaming Ron Paul exclusively on our nations financial problems. My point should be easy to follow which is, Ron Paul is not the Constitution God that many of you and his head-shop loving drones paint him to be.

I can assure you, you didn’t offend me. If you can’t take a little heat, by all means get out the kitchen and go hang out with Code Pinko with the rest of the Paultards.

One last time, because this is getting rather dull. How many times have you been on the NY Slimes best seller list ?

Just curious.

Examples ?

Please note that if I’m wrong, I’ll be more than happy to issue a public apology.

Neocon? What is your definition of a neocon, and how do you conclude that I am one of them?

Did you get your Masters at Columbia in one of those psuedo science degrees? Liberal Arts?

If it's getting so dull, why do you keep responding? Why, with every post, do you keep trying to call the cavalry to help you in your "To:" field?

Let's see if you can post something that doesn't make use of the tired ol' Code Pinko/Paultard/RuPaul insults. Go ahead. Wow us with your writing skills.

Okay, okay. I wrote Tender Is the Night, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Confederacy of Dunces, among others.

Issue your public apology now.

Is “Surrender Monkey” Ok ? How about “Cut and Run” Paul ? I dunno, I’m kind of partial to “STORMFRONTER” myself. What do you think ?
