Although I disagree with what I perceive to be your support of paleoPaulie, I did read your homepage and your #65 which mark you as the kind of guy we could use a lot more of. Your family and congregants are fortunate to have someone of your general wisdom.

May God bless you and yours.

I’m really not a Ron Paul supporter. I am, however, very slow to slash and burn when I see any move toward a stricter literal interpretation of the Constitution for the united States of America.

On the other hand, I am definitely not a Libertarian, and I have been fairly obviously angering many Libertarians around here. I don’t believe the Constitution has a purpose of tacitly endorsing licentiousness, which is what I perceive to be the (perhaps unintended) position of the Libertarians. I don’t believe that any man is or can be an island, and I believe the Scriptures when they say: “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.”
Every man’s moral behavior and bearing affects those around them, and that one verse alone would keep me from accepting the idea that you legalize drugs, etc., etc., etc.

So, I am a Constitutionalist, and I am restrained by the Christian Scriptures. I believe from mountains of documents on the belief systems of our founding fathers, that they were also likewise restrained.
