Since you posted the same thing on another thread, I'll save a little typing and repost my answer here:

As a devout Christian, Ron Paul believes that all Government Policy, including Foreign Policy, should be conducted according to the Teachings of Jesus.

I too am a devout Christian, but apparently we are reading a different account of what Jesus taught. Could you please quote scripture and verse where Jesus advocates cowardice? Can you cite anwhere that Jesus says that devout Christians should cut and run like a scalded dog?

He has openly and intensively discussed Christian Theology on the Floor of the United States House of Representatives to explain his Votes on this issue and others. How many other Congressman publicly ask "What Would Jesus Do" before they Vote on a matter, Deacon?

I appluad him for doing so, and at the same time I disagree with his conclusions. If he thought that Jesus would run from a fight, he was mistaken. I can't trust him in the White House.

Do YOU believe that Jesus would support the expenditure of thousands of American Lives to prop up an Iraqi Government whose so-called "Constitution" openly recognizes the Satanic Religion of Islam as "the Prime Source of Law" (to say nothing of their past Terrorist ties - let's just ignore that for now)? Would Jesus support such an ABOMINATION?

We've had this argument before, and you lost. I won't spend a lot of time on it again. Jesus didn't prop up any government, so that is a false argument. We made a commitment to the people of Iraq, and they chose their government and their constitution. To cut and run is to abandon our commitment to the people of Iraq, and no I don't believe Jesus would have done that.

Answer me that, DEACON, and then MAYBE I'll deal with your spurious, UnChristian accusations against an honorable man of God who began his career in the medical field getting our troops home from Vietnam alive.

Judas began his career as an apostle, too. I don't think much of him either.

I like Ron Paul in many respects, and believe that his positions are derived from his religious beliefs. However, Congressman Paul is an opponent of our foreign policy in the Mideast, despite the fact we were attacked on 9/11. Libertarian idealism on foreign policy and a return to isolationism are not viable options are not valid and even dangerous approached to international affairs where the waters are filled with sharks like radical Islam, Venezuela, and North Korea, as well as China and Russia. OTOH, I dislike Rudy Giuliani intensely, yet must admit he is realistic with respect to our foreign enemies.
