The purpose of the state is supposed to be to protect life, liberty and property and to settle disputes. Today, we have a government that protects killing, and at times, even finances it. The growth and scope of our government is totally out of control and fails the test for a limited government in a free society. ~ Ron Paul, Challenge to Liberty: Coming to Grips with the Abortion Issue
Ron Paul has long been an "unshakeable foe of abortion." While pro-life groups, in an effort to overturn Roe v. Wade, have long engaged in the fruitless struggle to elect the presidential candidate who will then appoint the "just right" jurist to sit on the Supreme Court, Ron Paul has repeatedly introduced legislation which affirms that life begins at conception, legislation that would exclude the issue of abortion from the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, thereby overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the issue to the proper authorities, the individual states.
In light of this, it is unfortunate that the respected and stalwart American Right to Life has stooped to condemning Ron Paul for his principled and constitutional approach to the abortion issue by using fallacies, defamatory and villainous rhetoric, and the kind of reasoning characteristic of the sophists of pagan Greece. According to ARTL, Ron Paul’s pledge to oppose abortion is inadequate because he refuses go along with ARTL’s support of a proposed federal law that would authorize the use of the 14th Amendment to protect the pre-born. Because Ron Paul recognizes and publicly states that this approach is not constitutionally proper and is a usurpation of state authority, ARTL’s director of research makes the ludicrous (and viciously false) claim that "Ron Paul agrees with the central finding of Roe v. Wade itself."

EVERY possible attack and all the stops are being pulled out in an effort to paint Ron Paul as some whack fringe candidate. I submit that he is the ONLY one who has maintained his beliefs consistently and not changed them according to whomever he happens to be speaking in front of at any goven moment. Its the main reason Republicans just can't seem to embrace Romney with vigor (he has NO chnace of beating Obama --- none). He changes his positions more often than people change their clothes. A slick politician saying WHATEVER he thinks will get him elected (which he will not be). Paul is the very last chance we have of keeping America a republic. Of the people, by the people, and FOR the people. But be careful of what you say --- a drone may be watching and listening. Or the FBI. Or Homeland Security. Or the ATF. Or the Secret Service. Or the State Police. Keep your "papers" handy. You'll be needing them a lot, I think.
ReplyDeleteHe comes off old peevish and a mean crank. The young voters find him laughable and the independents find him course. He will never get enough cross over votes.
ReplyDeleteHe is still the only real candidate despite the "opinions" out there. Just look at the others in the same light....
