Ron Paul: Just Another Religious Lunatic

Tags: Ron Paul, Abortion, Evolution, Republicans

Ah, yes, I just called the golden boy a religious lunatic. That is the term I apply to people in this day and age who do not believe in evolution and are against abortion. I can actually understand how someone can be against abortion and I dont label those people lunatics but when it comes to not believing in evolution, youre a nutter.

Well, there he was in all his glory, proudly declaring that he does not believe in the theory of evolution. But ignore all that because he wants to stop the Iraq War and bring out troops home. He wants to kill the IRS and let you roll around in your money. That sounds exciting, doesnt it? Oh, and lets not forget about the evil Federal Reserve. Hes going to do away with that all by himself, without the aid of Congress. Good luck.

Focus on all of those things. Do not pay attention to the fact that he DOES NOT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION. Or what he considers to be the greatest
moral issue of our time.

As an obstetrician who has delivered over 4000 children, I have long been concerned with the rights of unborn people. I believe this is the greatest moral issue of our time.

Strange, I dont hear his cult yammering on about his abortion stance. Maybe they are so awed by his brilliance that they are ashamed to talk about it, so I will do so for them.

Ron Paul actually has the courage to compare the horrors of Nazis with abortion.

Unlike Nazi Germany, which forcibly sent millions to the gas chambers (as well as forcing abortion and sterilization upon many more), the new regime has enlisted the assistance of millions of people to act as its agents in carrying out a program of mass murder.

This might be the point where you liberals who support Paul should stand up and explain your asinine decision. The one thing anti-abortion activists all have in common is their sneaky attempts to undermine Roe vs. Wade. Whether using drunk driving cases in which a fetus was killed, or attempting to pass Human Life Amendments at the state level, or trying to pass laws that allow pharmacists to decline giving out the morning after pill, they rarely come at the issue head on. Ron Paul is no exception.

Pro-life libertarians have a vital task to perform: to persuade the many abortion-supporting libertarians of the contradiction between abortion and individual liberty; and, to sever the mistaken connection in many minds between individual freedom and the "right" to extinguish individual life.

Uh huh. And Ron Paul uses his state rights bullshit to push his religious lunacy on the public. What he is and all he has ever been is another religious fanatic who is attempting to force us to live his way of life. A man doesnt write two books on stopping abortion if it is not one of the driving forces of his life. Check out 1983's Abortion and Liberty and 1990's Challenge to Liberty: Coming to Grips with the Abortion Issue.

As of late, he has tempered his rhetoric a bit because he doesnt want to drive away his college minions. But earlier this year, Paul was spewing his anti-abortion glory.

This is a practical, direct approach to ending Federal court tyranny, which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn.

Well, if someone read me that sentence and asked who wrote it I would have said Huckabee or Pat Robertson. But it is none other the next hero of our country, Ron Paul.

Quite a few liberals are getting swept up in this lunatics anti-war talk without knowing much of his religious politics. But his stance against the Iraq War is not liberal, it is classic conservatism in the form of old fashioned isolationism. He just stands out because the Republicans have murdered classic conservatives. When it comes to the abortion issue, the only difference between Paul and his fellow religious nuts like Huckabee is the path to banning abortion. Huckabee wants a federal law making abortion illegal, Paul wants to do it one community at a time. Either way, hes a nutter who believes that human beings are created at conception and doesnt believe in that crazy theory of evolution.

i like ron paul because he's actually talking about new ideas to change our country and i agree with a lot of them. he's not spitting out a bunch of bullshit that people want to hear about 9/11 and gay rights. i am in no way religious and i am pro choice but this is a christian country and any of the canidates are going to be religious fanatics as far as i'm concerned. at least someone is out there bringing to light the problems in america and wanting to fix them. he may not accomplish his goals but it's a start.

Name one of his "new ideas." He's stolen a few planks from what Libertarian candidates have been running on for years. This is not a Christian country, and that's kind of beside the point.

Ron Paul is not trying to bring light to problems in America. He is doing what is good for Ron Paul, and if you even scratch the surface just a bit and look into what he believes, how he votes, and the legislation he introduces, I don't think you'd be as gung-ho on the good Doc.

Are you serious are we all still so attached to evolution? It just can't exist. Life cannot be simplified. If a single celled organism evolved into an animal, it would have to start as a fully formed animal. It can't evolve the lungs now the heart later, and so on. It goes multi celled organism straight to an animal. Fossil records don't show any creature that connects one animal to another. We should see thousands and thousands of evolving animals that show the long process of one animal becoming another. Nobody has ever observed any macro evolution. Not to mention all the evidence that points at our earth being so much younger then evolution needs to take place like fresh unfossilized dinosaur bones

That reference seems a little bit biased.

I could be wrong, but. . . . . .

There's no way a site which contains articles like "How did dinosaurs grow so big? And how did Noah fit them on the Ark?" could contain bias in any way, shape or form.

Right, because why would a site that talks about religious issues like creationism talk about other religious issues like Noah?

Right. Yes. That totally refutes any notion of bias. Of course.

You're all so gullible!! Here's a link to a religious website that refutes 100s of years of science!! Case Closed.

You really, really don't know what you're talking about.

Life can't be simplified? Really? So, if I want to impregnate a woman, I actually have to shoot a baby into her? Good to know, but it sounds painful.

So, your theory is that a multi celled organism just became a fully fertilized egg? Strange how this kind of thing has stopped happening since recorded history began.
