He does indeed draw passionate support. And vitriolic hatred from some on this site. It really seems to be more and more just about that ‘Ring of Power’. People should read their Tolkien.
Let Freedom Ping.
I put this in the Religion forum...hmm why is it in the RLC Liberty Caucus?
Paul’s economics are the best course for America to follow to get the nation back on the track for the level of prosperity the middle class has become accustomed to and is now seeing slip away. That scares the hell out of Wall Street’s mega bankers who are dragging us down and expecting a socialist bail-out on our dime.
This Catholic will be voting for Ron Paul.
Welcome to the "out of sight, out of mind" forum.
You'll probably have to do a major Catholic ping if you want discussion about Catholics and their support/non-support of Ron Paul.
This one too.
The thing is, I did ping the Catholic ping lists, and the pro life ping lists, to this and the threads yesterday about the endorsement Paul received from "Roe" - my requests seem to have been ignored. Hmmm. Maybe I should ping the Reformed Caucus? ;-)
“I put this in the Religion forum...hmm why is it in the RLC Liberty Caucus?”
Admin Mods are trying to do to Paul what they complain about being done to Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson in the MSM.
Pretty disappointing.
ping
He beat frontrunner Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in Nevada and Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson in Michigan.
worth repeating
**This Catholic will be voting for Ron Paul.**
Why?
He sounds more like a dimocrat to me.
I've seen you post this statement before. In what ways exactly does he sound like a Democrat to you? Please explain.
No, even most dims at least pay lip service to defending our country. TehRon wants to surrender to the jihadis.
Amen!
Constitutional Responses to Terrorism
It has been over 6 years since the atrocities of September 11 were committed and there are still some very basic measures that need to be taken to bring the perpetrators to justice and make America safer. I have proposed legislation to help with these efforts and will continue to fight in Congress for the safety and security of the American people.
My legislation entitled The Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007 (HR 3216) makes the surgical strike option available to the President in our mission to capture Bin Laden. Our military has been pursuing him without result for far too long now, and it is high time ALL constitutional tools were utilized in the hunt for this dangerous madman. As an American it sickens me to know that Bin Laden and top leaders of al Qaeda remain at large and thumbing their noses at us, while we unravel the sacred fabric of our constitution out of fear. It is Osama Bin Laden and the perpetrators of terrorist attacks that ought to be afraid of us, not the other way around. The answers are found in the Constitution. We should boldly root out the perpetrators and not let them get away with their crimes against us. As the home of the brave we should use Letters of Marque and Reprisal to bring Bin Laden to justice.
Also, we need to take serious steps to prevent terrorists from gaining easy access to targets on our soil. Quite alarmingly, even with the knowledge that the 19 terrorist hijackers entered our country legally, and that 15 of them were from Saudi Arabia , student visas from terrorist sponsoring countries are still far too easily obtained. In a baffling move President Bush struck a deal with Saudi King Abdullah in 2005 to allow 21,000 more Saudi young men into the US on student Visas. Of course, not all students from terror sponsoring countries are terrorists, but I place a higher premium on the security of the American people than the convenience of citizens of hostile countries. We should not be making the goals of would-be terrorists easier to accomplish, but rather should be vigilant about defending against enemies at every turn. They should not be slipping through our doors so easily, using our immigration laws against us, and that is why I proposed the Terror Immigration Elimination Act (HR 3217) to toughen standards for VISAS from countries on the State Department’s list of terrorist sponsoring countries in addition to Saudi Arabia . Just as you decide who to invite to a dinner party in your home, we should be in charge of who we allow in this country, without apology.
A lot has been done to fight the War on Terror and much of it has been misdirected, but there are some tools still needed and more progress to be made. My bills The Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007 and The Terror Immigration Elimination Act are logical steps in the right direction.
Ron Paul
I’ll be voting for Ron Paul as well.
