I wish more of my conservative Christian friends understood that.
One of my elders is a Ron Paul supporter. The parliamentarian of my denomination, who is a well-respected expert on rules and procedure, is a Ron Paul supporter. Several of my friends in the pastorate are Ron Paul supporters, as are a significant number of Reformed Baptists in a nearby church.
Part of the complication is that in the early days, Ron Paul's supporters included Gary North and other people associated with the Christian Reconstruction movement. They liked his original intent view of the Constitution.
In the 1970s and 1980s I can understand that. Ron Paul represented a way of thinking about the Constitution that had all but died in GOP-e circles.
Post-Reagan, I see no reason for a Christian conservative to be a Ron Paul supporter. He openly declares that his faith would have no impact on his presidency. I realize that as a practical matter Ron Paul's principles of government might look a lot like social conservative principles, but they come from a wrong root, and that root produces bad fruit.
Just because somebody does the right thing for the wrong reason doesn't mean they're your friend in the long term.
All you had to do was see the hate in Ron Paul’s eyes when he looked at Rick Santorum during the debates. It was open hate.
