Maybe this will wake up some among the Christian Right on the Ron Paul ruse. Did you know that Ron Paul:
- Voted FOR allowing physician-assisted suicide?
- Voted AGAINST the one-man, one-woman marriage amendment?
- Favors gays in the military?
- Favors legalized marijuana?
- Favors legalized prostitution?
- Voted against school prayer?
- In answer to a question about pharmacists morally opposed to selling the abortion pill, said that should be between the given pharmacist and his boss?
- Voted to allow American flag desecration?
- Has stated he has no problem with leftwing search engine Google's deal with the Chinese communist government that causes Google to block to China's 1,200,000,000 people any website remotely critical of that evil regime or espousing the principles of liberty it opposes?
- Far from just not wanting to send troops to aid our allies, recently stated that he would not even sell them weapons, leaving it crystal clear that anyone friendly to America will be thrown to the communist/islamofascist wolves?
- Recently vowed to abandon freedom-loving staunch American ally Taiwan to America's greatest enemy, the Red Chinese?
- Has made it clear that not only does he consider America the evil force in Iraq (and the islamofascist mass-murdering terrorists, therefore, our innocent victims), but also deems America to have been the evil force in Vietnam (and the communist mass-murdering Christian persecuting Vietcong, therefore, our innocent victims)?
- Uses rhetoric reserved for most of the last 100 years for the communist left to describe America as guilty of the very sins of that communist left ("military-industrial complex," "imperialism")?
- Recently criticized the weapons systems that have been the only thing that have kept America free - criticized them with a fervor worthy of a John Kerry?
- In a recent You-Tube appearance, posited that once he fixed America, open borders would be just fine (for much of his career, Paul opposed the very existence of the Border Patrol)?
- Claims that the hordes of America-hating invaders overrunning us - as well as our mortal Chinese communist enemies - are "scapegoats" for our own misdeeds?
If you don't stand for something, o ye of little core principle, you'll fall for anything.
Wake up, America's Christian Right! Ron Paul may be the ACLU's candidate, but he's not ours. Rally 'round Tom Tancredo or Dr. Hugh Cort, who are on America's side on all these issues, and who mirror Ron Paul on the many other issues where he's right.
Joseph Farah, Pastor Ernie Sanders, and I must not remain among the very few within the "enlightened right" (as opposed to what others among us mistakenly call "neocons") who see through the Ron Paul dog and pony show. Please join us before it is too late for our country - and God's.
