No, Ronsama Bin Paul is a doper because he supports legalizing dope and probably smokes it privately, too. Actions are louder than words, you might say.

I think he could pass any drug test. It's very very rare for doctors to self-dope.

You realize that he could write legal script for himself, don't you? Oxycontin, etc.? So you're accusations are a little juvenile. If he wanted narcotics, he can have them any time.

Key word here is "was". Our President used to live in sin, but does no longer. He's been washed by the Blood of the Lamb. He also doesn't support legalizing dope or cocaine, something that Paul would be all too happy with. Again, actions are louder than words.

Either he is or he has deceived himself into thinking he is. Anyone may be self-deceived and merely believe they have found salvation. In any event, we cannot be his judge. Nor can you guarantee his salvation. Not even if you're the Pope.

Bush isn't God. But God did send the President to this nation with a mission: a mission for "Such a time as this". It was God who called President Bush to office, and made him our CinC during this struggle for our very survival. Got a problem with that? Take it up with God.

God can appoint rulers to lead a godly people or to discipline, sometimes harshly, a wicked people. He does this to fulfill his own predetermined eternal plan, the one pattern of His creation which is inviolable and which gives rise to the fulfillment of ancient prophecy.

You have no way to know whether God has appointed Bush to lead us and protect us or to punish us and deliver us to the hands of our enemies. Or are you some kind of inspired prophet? You haven't seen the image of Mary in the cracks of a sidewalk or the broken pavement of a poorly maintained intersection have you?

This is absolutely true. I agree 100%. The disagreement comes here:

You have no way to know whether God has appointed Bush to lead us and protect us or to punish us and deliver us to the hands of our enemies.

Actually, we do. It's called God's Word. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14. Does the action there describe someone who actively humbles himself like President Bush? Who actively thanks and blesses the Lord like President Bush? I think so. Works are filthy rags, but "faith without works is dead". We've seen President Bush's works: a commitment to lead our nation back to its Christian roots, a righteous war against enemies of Christ, a strong stand against perverts and God-haters here at home. Our President is living out the promises of Exodus 19:5-6.

Naturally, no one can be completely sure who is regenerated or not, but his works are a strong indicator of what God has already done in his life. None of our President's good works would be possible without God's imputation of righteousness.

"It's very very rare for doctors to self-dope"

says who?

the statistics that are usually kicked around is that anywhere between 10-15 percent of physicians are addicted to either alcohol or drugs.

I'm not saying that proves or disproves anything about Ron Paul, but your statement in his defense is simply not true.
