Friends, just hear me out on this one.
We all know Ron Paul as the libertarian whack job who thinks it should be legal to snort marijuana. Sure, that is offensive, but is it as offensive as Newt Gingrich's repeated adultery? Or Rick Santorum's Mary-worship? Rick Perry's drunkenness? Mitt Romney?
I think I can see past his "let them smoke dope" stance because I see it for what it is: A way to get young, stupid, stoned heathens to vote for him.
What does Ron Paul really support?
Ron Paul is pro-life. He signed the same Personhood USA pledge that Perry, Sanatorium, and Gingrinch signed. The one saying that all abortions should be illegal. He goes farther, wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade and pass a Federal "Sanctity of Life Act" which would define life as beginning at conception. Once that's done, any abortion would be murder under Federal law.
Ron Paul is a Christian. Not a ring-kissing Mary worshipper or a Mormon.
Ron Paul supports the Defense of Marriage Act. He doesn't believe that the Federal government should be able to force states to recognize gay 'marriages' from other states. And he doesn't support gay 'marriage'.
Ron Paul loves Israel: In his own words:
Ron Paul doesn't believe in church-state separation. We have heard many, many times that Paul is an expert on the Constitution. Well, read his own words from his 2003 paper, "War on Religion":
Let's also bear in mind that Ron Paul wants to cut back on Federal aid to foreign nations -- you know, Congress deciding to collect YOUR tax dollars and send them overseas to people who hate Jesus?
Now . . . What do you think? Do we join up with the evangelicals who threw their support to Rick Sanatorium, or do we strike out in a bold direction and give it to Ron Paul?

Ron Paul loves Israel: In his own words:
“I would want to maintain very close relations with Israel,” Paul said. “I’d want to be a good friend of Israel. And I also want to respect them in many ways that I do not think the United States should undermine their sovereignty in any way.”
He went on to defend his position that the United States should not provide foreign aid to Israel and should not “tell them what to do.”
“If they want to have a peace treaty with their neighbors and they think they can work it out, they shouldn’t have to ask us for permission,” Paul said. “They shouldn’t have to ask us permission to defend their borders. That should be their business. But also, I do not believe that I should take money from anybody here and send money to Israel.”
He then rounded out his answer with the Hong Kong comparison. “We should be friends,” he said. “We should trade with them. I would encourage them to become the Hong Kong of the Middle East, or something like that. You know, have a really affluent society.”

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. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. … This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the people’s allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before their faith in the state. Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nation’s Christian heritage. (Emphasis added.)
