Ron Paul IS a Christian. However, he’s also very old school conservative when it comes to these things. He’s not the type to mention it.

As for Israel, knowing that he’s pretty much an isolationist, I don’t know if he’d attempt to prop up Israel in the way that Bush has done, but also remember that spending and appropriations bills are the responsibility of the House, not of the President.

the 12 year old who was mocked by Mitch McConnell and Michele Malkin (both stand up citizens of the right) is Graeme Frost.

Does anyone know where Ron Paul stands with regard to Israel, and our responsibility to her?

Can you elaborate about the concerns regarding Huckabee?

How do we know that Ron Paul is a Christian? I didn’t see it on his site, but I only had time to skim.

As a homeschooler, I love Ron Paul’s convictions regarding homeschooling.

Thanks for the help…

I am the first to admit that politics is not of big importance to me. So, when you talk about mocking a 12 year old, I’m clueless as to what you are referring.

Would you fill me in, please?

Thanks,
Jesica

I hope your online tone is simply that. Otherwise, you’re bound to end up lonely and bitter. Read what you write (don’t worry, log in the eye about to get addressed…).

“…and it does not make me think Christian thoughts towards you.”

Dude, that’s totally your problem, and you need to be in prayer about such things. Hardcore prayer. Because if you don’t first and foremost see a brother in Christ, then you gots issues, my man.

“I’m glad Denny ignores you; he’s much better than me in that regard.”

You’re glad that people shy away from debate? You’re glad that people are afraid to address issues that run counter to their own very narrow ideas? You’re glad that Christians won’t even talk to each other because you don’t like their viewpoints or the way that things are said? Yikes, my man. Yikes.

As for calling Huckabee a hypocritical loser, here’s my defense: you can’t run as the conservative candidate if you plan on spending as much as the most fiscally foolish president that we’ve ever had. You can’t call yourself a Christian leader and not make a stand against all of the un-Christian stances that this administration has taken. Huckabee might be better than most (except Ron Paul, who is Christian and classically conservative), but being anything other than what you claim to be is pointless. Clinton might have lied about smoking weed and Monica Lewinsky, but you always knew where he stood. That is something that this current crop of Republicans (except Ron Paul, who actually has some ethics) is sorely lacking. Prove me wrong. I’d love to be wrong on this one. But, as I’ve said before, everyone that I’ve talked to from Arkansas has said the same thing: Huckabee wasn’t much of a governor. If you can’t govern Arkansas well, what leads you to believe that you’ve got the stuff to run the United States of America.

Now, as for the log in my own eye. Granted, I might be harsh. More than likely too harsh. And if that’s the case, then I apologize. Sincerely. But, by the same token, I don’t appreciate my God being turned into a single issue voter, a God that doesn’t punish those who blatantly lie, cheat and steal from the poor, or a God that only values unborn life. And I WILL comment on that whenever and wherever possible. Too bad for Denny that he wrote a column that I didn’t agree with in the Southern Baptist Press News that I didn’t agree with and that he gave the address for this blog. If it makes you feel much better, I do just as much of this with the left-wingers who claim that there’s no need to evangelize or that The Bible is an errant document.

I don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. But let’s face it, if you claim to be conservative, and then throw your support behind candidates who are not classically conservative, then yes, you ARE a hypocrite. If you claim to be pro-life because God makes the little babies, but then refuse to be pro-environment, then you ARE a hypocrite. After all, if you’re willing to destroy one of God’s creations, why not destroy them all? If you claim to live by the teaching that “what you do to the least of these, you do to me” and then stand idly by as the party that you hold dear mocks a 12 year old, then you ARE a hypocrite.

Do you want me to sugar coat it? If so, Jason, then how so? Give me explicit instructions on how best to treat you and I will do so to the T.

till next time,

Paul

Seriously? You aren’t helping your cause any. I think you’ve gotten more abrasive than ever, and it does not make me think Christian thoughts towards you. That being said, I’m glad Denny ignores you; he’s much better than me in that regard.

But since you’re bringing up things Denny hasn’t responded to, I believe I asked for you to defend your stance of referring to Huckabee as a hypocritic loser?

I’m still waiting. I also think I’m waiting for abortion statistics you were going to post 4 monhts ago, but that’s a different topic.

L8r, but perhaps not.

Jason

Interesting that the socially conservative republicans are the biggest hypocrites of them all.

I really like Huckabee. He’s right on the money on all the issues that I care about most. My concern about him is electability, and I’m not talking about his financing.

In order for Republicans to win the presidency, they must put together a coalition of social, fiscal, and national security conservatives. These three groups have to turn out on election day or the pro-life party loses.

I’m concerned that Huckabee will not appeal to the fiscal conservatives because he has some views that would result in bigger government. If that happens, the coalition breaks and Hillary Clinton becomes the next President.

If I could be more assured that Huckabee would appeal to fiscal conservatives, I’d be more optimistic about his candidacy.

Thanks,
Denny

From what I read and heard there, this man is a devoted follower of Christ, and his stance on the issues that I read, definitely line up with Scripture.

I’m trusting that God can do the impossible, and I’m putting my time and treasure toward supporting this man for President.

Wow! I feel so foolish that I didn’t know more about him before now.

Thanks for spuring me on to dig deeper through the writing of this post.

I take it no one bothers to take a look at the one dollar bill, eh?

Just because this is a nation of Christians does not make the US a Christian nation.

Once we remember that, we might actually vote for someone with our heads instead of our guts.
