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 lifenot 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 measuresnot 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.
Guess you missed that orbit a satellite or two thing as well...
Ron Paul is for state's rights. Not the federal govt controlling everything.
Can’t turn the other cheek on Satan. If you do, well, then there are consequences.
I think Paul’s intentions regarding Iran are for a good purpose, in his mind, but extremely misguided. Since sometimes, turning the other cheek can be a fatal error. Such is the case for Iran. To ignore the threats Iran makes, and with the evidence against Iran mounting, Paul needs to reconsider his position, on Iran.
He’s a stubborn kinda fellow. We know that. But from my studies of him, he’s not beyond reproach.
Wake up Dr. Paul. Reality is calling. Iran is a threat which needs redress. You can’t turn the other cheek on this one.
“We don’t take their statements seriously because they pose almost no military threat to us.”
That’s true. But a nuclear Iran is whole nuther story. If they get them, they will use them. Anyone in doubt has been disconnected from the reality server.

People might think he's crazy, but I now know more about what Ron Paul believes than about what Herman Cain believes.
Good old Jimmy Carter had a similar statement of faith, oh, and a similar world view as well. Just say no to moderate libertarian RINOs.
Which is to say, it would LEGALIZE it.
Go back to your bong.
Ron Paul is a nut-job dope smoking libertarian.
That’s why he co-sponsored the bill with Brawney Fwank.
Why would ANYBODY who is a conservative vote for anybody who co-sponsors bills with Barney?
There are ways to convert people to Ron Paul WITHOUT taking the "There is no God and you are IGNORANT" approach. Trying to convert a Christian to agnosticism or atheism is NOT going to magically convert people to Ron Paul. Remember, you don't have to AGREE with these positions. You don't have to believe in God even. You just have to appeal to them - and bashing someone's GOD does NOT HELP RON PAUL! ....
They love to be all things to all people.
Great post, Alex. :)
I believe that we cannot fight every battle but I also believe that through wisdom we must know when to become involved in a world situation. Preferably before it becomes too big to deal with in a judicious manner.
They are already using Fraud Paul. He has gone to Iran’s state media “Press TV” on several occasions bashing the US and our allies- including making statements in support of Palestine and against Israel (of whom we have a mutual defense treaty).

Ron Paul is all for interventionism when he is intervening against the US and our allies on our enemy’s behalf.
That was good to read Kurt. There are a couple questions I would like to ask Rep. Paul personally still, but this answered some others.
And video was wonderful! Thank you.
