For the Ron Paul Supporters…
Progressives love Ron Paul! At a time like this, how could they not? He’s a man of honor. He has the courage to truly challenge the status quo. He opposes tyrannical practices such as empire-building, pillaging the environment, and charging citizens a federal income tax against the will of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings. He wants to rid us of the federal reserve, which has been robbing us for as long as most of us have been alive. Whether you agree with him or not, he has progressives salivating - and a little confused, considering most of these progressives used to vote either Democrat or third party.
Those progressives should also understand Ron Paul’s positions on religion. As a man of God, he opposes abortions, and he opposes euthanasia . . . hardly the positions of a secularist. He believes this country was founded on Christian principles, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
He even supports prayer in school . . . or at least, he supports allowing the states to decide for themselves.
Witness the way he refers to “secularists” in this article, written by Paul in 2005:
Here Ron Paul admonishes leftists for their “War on Religion”, because it has destroyed the Christmas spirit:
In this quote from Ron Paul, he makes his distaste for separation of church and state very clear:
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion.
This troubles me, because he claims to be a strict adherent to the Constitution… and here he claims that the Constitution is “replete” with references to God. If you take a look at the constitution (http://www.house.gov/paul/constitution.html), you can count the number of references it makes to God. My count: not once.
