Ron Paul's Statement of Faith (says he's "accepted Jesus Christ")
Pundit House ^ | July 13, 2011 | Ron Paul

Posted on 11/06/2011 6:40:00 PM PST by Kurt Evans

My faith is a deeply private issue to me, and I don't speak on it in great detail during my speeches because I want to avoid any appearance of exploiting it for political gain. Let me be very clear here: I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate...

America became the greatest nation in human history because a dedicated band of Patriots believed their God-given rights were worth fighting for, even if it meant challenging the world's most powerful nation in what many deemed a "hopeless" cause...

Since I'm asking for your vote and your trust to lead this nation, let me tell you a little bit about my background and beliefs.

My parents raised my four brothers and me on a dairy near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they set clear examples for each of us about faith, honest living, and individual responsibility. Their Christian values helped inspire two of my brothers to eventually enter the ministry, and provided me with the foundation I needed to practice medicine and one day become a U.S. Representative.

In addition to my time in Congress, I am proud to have delivered over 4,000 babies as a country doctor in Texas. As I trained to practice medicine, I became convinced without a doubt that life begins at the moment of conception. I never performed an abortion, and I never once found an abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. In fact, I successfully helped women struggling with their pregnancies to seek other options, including adoption...

We must stand for life—not allow millions of innocent children to continue to be slaughtered with the government's approval.

We must follow the Biblical mandate of using honest weights and measures—not printing money out of thin air in almost complete secrecy and then handing it over to oppressive dictators.

We must only send our men and women to fight for our country when the mission is clear, every tool needed to win is provided, and we respect the Constitution by declaring war...

As President, I give you my word that I will only exercise my authority within the confines of the Constitution, and I will work every day to rein in a runaway federal government by binding it with the chains of that document.

After you call Jim Rob - and try to get me banned ( the only way you can win our debate, perhaps) Your tagline was removed. Then, after they leave it comes back.

Is that what happened?

Am I mistaken or did you tagline disappear for a little while there, Tourqemada?

What has that got to do with ron paul?
You have no idea what I know or don’t know or what my opinion is of the Third Temple...or the FIRST Temple for that matter and this isn’t the place to discuss it.
You said it yourself. This is a ron paul thread...not a Hebrew Old Testament thread.

Handsome? Young? Manhattan?? Rofl. ALL the cliches of the old SamFran crowd. Tell me, 777, do you like tractors? John Deere, maybe?

I had not been aware that suggesting that Absolutely NoBama had been the victim of incestuous homosexual pedophilia by his own grandfather in your #207 was proof of what a tough guy you hallucinate yourself to be but it would probably be better for you not to implicate the entire US Navy in your warped fantasies.

We get it, BlackElk. You're a keyboard Khan; a war monger who fairly lusts to drink the blood of your "enemies," yet you wear wear lace gloves, put nice doilies under your tea cups on your dining room table, and help nice old ladies cross the street. Frauds like you are wholly undeserving of the benefits that come from the brave men and women who do unspeakable violence on your behalf. I'm here to make sure not one solider, sailor, airman, or Marine has to leave his or her family, put his or her ass on the line and risk death or dismemberment unless it is 100% necessary for the survival of our nation. Yet morons like you think it's just ducky to toss around these lives as if it were a game of Risk . . . or maybe Dungeons & Dragons - I bet that's more your speed.

You're a fraud. "Oh really Torquemada was quite complex." No, he was a vicious killer; a sadist. Go ahead and liken yourself to that freak of history, then get all upset when someone around here uses salty language. Spare us your grand indignation, you charlatan. Make a political point here on this thread, or GTFO.

And apparently a master of the sentence fragment, mixed metaphor and redundancy.

AND the cavalry brings with them the English Police.

Here's a hint, professor: FR ain't the SATs, and you can rest assured I don't have the same standards for posting here as I do with the stuff I do professionally. M'kay?

As for your next bizarre reference, there is no country in the world that has ever been better for ANYBODY than the US, not just Jews.

Not for nothing, but I'm sure a whole host of native American people might think otherwise. Or blacks. Or Acadians.

I love the US, too, but let's not gloss over the facts. It does us all a disservice.

Form and substance are part and parcel of the same thing, in your case both wanting.

I’ve had epithets hurled at me from a half dozen people Those are “a little child / pencil necked geek who wears a captain kirk uniform in his mothers basement who is stupid is at community college in his 5th year and is a terrorist sympathizers who should be banned from FR”.

I respond with what seems like some arrogant bluster but I assure its tongue in cheek.

I look ok

Now Let me guess; You hate ron paul

Want to tussle? :)

I love John Deere!

Straight out of Moline, Illinois. And all our US Manufacturers. LIke Caterpillar, Cummings, Boeing, Ford. IBM, General Motors, United Technologies, General Electric etc, etc,

These great companies make the United States the largest manufacturer in the world - even ahead of China. (#2)

. So forget that Idea that we don’t produce anything in this country anymore. We produce the most in the world. So lets stop giving 0% credit to the now bankrupt bank of america and lets extend some to our great producers.

God bless the USA!

Do you have anything to say about Paul and the issues - Thats the purpose of this thread.

I quit trying to have rational discussions with Paultards back in '07 when I learned it was an exercise in futility. Now, I just poke fun at 'em.

Thats why Im here and Ive been attacked personally the entire time.

Oh, quit your whining. I'd never even seen you before, let alone post to you and your first post to me is a bunch of insults. Laughably typical of the Paul crowd. You dish out the attacks, but when someone gives you a little of your own back, you wail and cry. And you wonder why sane prople don't take you seriously.

BUt perhaps you just want to talk about how good looking I am

You can be anybody you want on the intenet. I've found that people who talk about how good-looking they are usually....aren't. :-)

Good stuff, you silly goose. You are truly humorless.

But that’s your deal.

So: Who are you supporting for 2012?
