Ron Paul's Statement of Faith

The Covenent News ^ | July 21, 2007 | Rep. Ron Paul, MD.

[ovrtaxt]

We are sick of RINOs. No more. Not even at the expense of a Democrat being elected.

We’re all getting a very harsh lesson right now on where this thinking has led us. No more. Include me out.

[badpacifist]

I have worked tirelessly to defend and restore those rights for all Americans, born and unborn alike. The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideal of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle. In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

Although I do not think Paul is a viable candidate at this point, I wish every rhino and democrat would feel this way on this issue.

[ovrtaxt]

I believe that would be the Afghanistan campaign, taken into context.

I disagree with Paul on this, I think it’s nutcase Islam in general. The whole thing. Of course, declarign war on an entire religion, well... can we do that? I’d be up for it!

[B Knotts]

Ditto. I’m not sure who I’m for at this point, and haven’t supported Ron Paul because I’m not sure I agree with him on some issues. However, I like many of his ideas, and don’t like to see him belittled, as often happens on these threads.

I haven’t committed to supporting Thompson, because I’m afraid he’s just more of the same.

[WalterSkinner]

stand up for our divinely inspired Constitution

..no Dr., only the Bible has that distinction--otherwise an impressive statement...

[mkjessup]

In that case, you’re on the wrong website.
And why is that?

I wasn't talking to you.

[Abcdefg]

Does this mean any old socialist will do as POTUS, so long as they have an “R” beside their name?

[ejonesie22]

Yeah I know all the arguments. Been there, done that. I am sorry but that’s what will get Paul and Hunter in the end. There is nothing wrong with globalism if it is practiced correctly, and I hate to tell anyone but that Jeanie is not going back in the bottle. We are way past that now. That may not sit well with many, but it’s a fact, brought on primarily by the very technology you are using now.

Not being globalist in any sense of the word on one end and extremely “Internationalist” on the other will not work. We have to deal with the global economy. It will not go a way. Now our job is to define it in terms we can live with. We can’t do that if we are not there to play and play to win. We have to turn their ideas and practices to our advantage and will. That is the challenge for Conservatives in the 21st Century.

[Zack Nguyen]

It is wonderful that Ron Paul is a Christian. I share his view.

A letter of marque and reprisal is a constitutional tool specifically designed to give the president the authority to respond with appropriate force to those non-state actors who wage aggression against the United States while limiting his authority to only those responsible for the atrocities of that day.

Does this mean that Ron Paul only wants the President to go after those that perpetrated 9/11? If so, this is remarkably short-sighted. The terrorists that threaten us today, both at home and abroad, may or may not have had anything to do with 9/11.

[Dead Corpse]

We have defined the Enemy: Radical Islam.

Now we just need to find a way to eradicate this scourge on our modern world. Ron Paul thinks privateers and mercenaries are the key to go after non-State actors. While I feel this tool should not be ignored, it shouldn't be the only one we use. Taking out those States who knowingly harbor terror groups should also be a goal. The heck with civilian populations who allow these animals to herd them unchecked.

These groups are attacking us. This cannot go without a swift, violent, and decisive response.

Bush's "Democracy building" exercise has never worked any time it was tried before. Smash them. Destroy them. Then rebuild on the rubble. This ongoing "police action" is lunacy...

[roses of sharon]

Ron Paul and Alex Jones; conspirazoids!

[ejonesie22]

The sad thing, smash them, destroy them, rebuild on the rubble worked in WWII. There is a modle in our history just 60 years ago and we can follow it...

[Dead Corpse]

But we aren’t. Bush and his “compassionate ‘conservatism’” aren’t doing us any favors in the War on Terrorism.

[italianquaker]

Every paulette thread should have a buffoon alert

[JoinJuniorAchievement]

He wants us to "define the enemy", and yet the current enemy succeeds (when it does) by being undefined,

The enemy is the states that sponsor the terrorists.
The terrorists are just a weapon, like a tank or a plane, call them proxy troops if you like.
We are down to Iran, Syria and and to a lesser extent Pakistan

Yes we needed to Declare War on 9-12 and taken on all those countries publically and decisivly.

I am a veteran, I have a son going to Qatar in November, and I stand with Ron Paul.

[Amelia]

Whether or not Paul is a viable candidate for President isn’t the issue. The principles and beliefs that he has proclaimed as his own in this statement are more than sufficient for me to take a ‘wait and see’ approach and I have to reverse myself and say that I think he should be included in every future presidential debate, and his ideas should be discussed.

I agree, and I tend to think that he has given more thought to his ideas than most candidates have, and I tend to think his are based more on principal than on what he thinks people want to hear.

[philo]

I don’t agree with you either. Now you can talk to me.

[JoinJuniorAchievement]

If a hypothetical President Ron Paul were to take the step of unilaterally withdrawing the United States from the U.N. (and while I may be corrected, he might well be able to do so by executive order, as much as he would probably prefer NOT to exercise power in that way),

I believe his first exectutive order will be to repeal all previous executive orders.
This eliminates many bureaucracies with the stroke of a pen.

"I can, a Hillary/Obama ticket and they would win over your team by 20 points minimum. Get real."

A Paul/ ticket would be a much closer race. Paul would siphon lots moonbat support from the RATs.
