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.

Ummmm...In case you haven’t noticed, Herman Cain is leading the polls, not Myth Romney.

“I’m here to make sure not one solider, sailor, airman, or Marine has to leave his or her family, put his or her ass on the line and risk death or dismemberment unless it is 100% necessary for the survival of our nation.”

Yeah ? And I’m here to make sure that miserable old Jew hater doesn’t stab them in the back while they’re fighting now.

“Here’s a hint, professor: FR ain’t the SATs, and you can rest assured I don’t have the same standards for posting here as I do with the stuff I do professionally. M’kay?”

Still waiting to see some links to that stuff you do “professionally”.....

“Dear sweet Jesus, you want to know why politics is such a disaster in this country? Look in the f*cking mirror, sister. Live up to the “!!!!!LOOKIT ME!!!!!” pictures you post of yourself on your d*mn homepage.”

Actually, Lefty, the problem with politics in the United States is people like you. You’re just another self-righteous pseudo-intellectual devoid of any real substance, just like the socialist windbag who lurks in the White House now and like the socialist windbag who sends pork by the truck load back to Galveston.

“I’m glad to see you support a real ‘rock-ribbed’ conservative there.”

And Ron Paul is a ‘rocked-ribbed’ Conservative with his endorsement by Code Pinko ?

You’re on a roll, Lefty.....

“I’m a mere mortal.”

And a pointy headed pseudo-intellectual who’s a closet leftist, much like Ron Paul.

“I’m a classic liberal, just like the guys who kicked off the whole program back in the 18th century.

If people like you and Ron Paul were there, we’d still be British subjects.

No one man is worthy of that kind of worship.

It's sick, isn't it?

I've met a couple of decent Paaul supporters, but the vast majority of them are vicious, unhappy little people.

Around here crying out for Allah falls on deaf ears. And you can save yourself some time making that way for your Lord. We are Christians here and Christians have no use for the false god Allah......

Don’t come crying at me that you didn’t say it; your nasty buddy posted the most heinous of his filth to you and by your silence, you join him in his stench.

Spare the maudlin crapola. Nobody around here wishes you ill, let alone death.

Polls taken in 11/2011 mean nothing. This season is all over but for the shouting: it's going to be Mitt Romney, and you better get used to it. Don't talk to me of the GOP "brain trust," friend. The candidates they "hand select" for us have flat-out sucked since RWR.

Don't hold your breath. Wait. In your case, DO hold your breath.

Frankly, ma'am, you're the weakest of the FReepers trying to rip into me here. You're a yappy little lap dog; plenty of racket, but not enough meat to make up a half a small pulled pork sandwich.

The best part is it seems that my comments about the quality of your writing seem to have stung you the most. Pray tell me, you didn't honestly have aspirations to write for your rent money, did you?

Oh, please. You know nothing of my political ideology other than I oppose people like you tearing the sh*t out of Rep. Ron Paul.

Dear Allega

First: I never used any profanity. Ever. I was guilty of making a disparaging remark. And if i hurt your feelings - im sorry and i apologize. I didnt want to harm you or disparage your personaly. It was meant to be humorous. Do you believe me? Probably not. So... Let me explain. It was a joke. And i suppose it was a misguided attempt. I can accept that. This was one of the most heated threads ive ever seen on FR. And ive been here posting since 2002. And lurking since the clinton years. :) I dont know you - i never met you - and i know you do not work as a “h-——— for the fbi” im sure you do not. That was not literal - please understand that. You called me a hyena who lives in his mothers basement. I knew that it wasnt true. I imagine its effect was rhetorical. Will you extend to me that same spirit?

Are we not both americans? . I am. i’ll defend your right to write anything you like.

will you defend mine?

The truth is the truth. And the truth shall set us free.

I am not an unhappy person. I just closed a rather large real estate deal and i met a beautiful girl that im in love with. Im in great health, my ny jets are looking good and most importantly i have faith in God that will abide - even unto the end of the world and beyond.

Ive never been so happy personally in my life. ( at least until i read black elks post last night - which made me feel physically ill)

But this thread is not about me . Or you or black elk. No thread is. This thread is about ron paul accepting jesus christ.

And some people believe that a man will come one day in his name and return to us all.

And i have only one question for you?

Dost thou believe?

Respectfully,
J
