Ron Paul's statement of faith
Statement of Faith
-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------
By Rep. Ron Paul, MD.

The Covenant News ~ July 21, 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

We live in times of great uncertainty when men of faith must stand up for our values and our traditions lest they be washed away in a sea of fear and relativism. As you likely know, I am running for President of the United States, and I am asking for your support.

I have never been one who is comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena. In fact, the pandering that typically occurs in the election season I find to be distasteful. But for those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do. I know, as you do, that our freedoms come not from man, but from God. My record of public service reflects my reverence for the Natural Rights with which we have been endowed by a loving Creator.

I have worked tirelessly to defend and restore those rights for all Americans, born and unborn alike. The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideal of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle.

In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, H.R. 1094. I am also the prime sponsor of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. 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. I have also authored H.R. 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.” Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken and will continue to advocate direct action to restore protection for the unborn.

I have also acted to protect the lives of Americans by my adherence to the doctrine of “just war.” This doctrine, as articulated by Augustine, suggested that war must only be waged as a last resort--- for a discernible moral and public good, with the right intentions, vetted through established legal authorities (a constitutionally required declaration of the Congress), and with a likely probability of success.

It has been and remains my firm belief that the current United Nations-mandated, no-win police action in Iraq fails to meet the high moral threshold required to wage just war. That is why I have offered moral and practical opposition to the invasion, occupation and social engineering police exercise now underway in Iraq. It is my belief, borne out by five years of abject failure and tens of thousands of lost lives, that the Iraq operation has been a dangerous diversion from the rightful and appropriate focus of our efforts to bring to justice to the jihadists that have attacked us and seek still to undermine our nation, our values, and our way of life.

I opposed giving the president power to wage unlimited and unchecked aggression, However, I did vote to support the use of force in Afghanistan. I also authored H.R. 3076, the September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001. A letter of marque and reprisal is a constitutional tool specifically designed to give the president the authority to respond with appropriate force to those non-state actors who wage aggression against the United States while limiting his authority to only those responsible for the atrocities of that day. Such a limited authorization is consistent with the doctrine of just war and the practical aim of keeping Americans safe while minimizing the costs in blood and treasure of waging such an operation.

On September 17, 2001, I stated on the house floor that “…striking out at six or eight or even ten different countries could well expand this war of which we wanted no part. Without defining the enemy there is no way to know our precise goal or to know when the war is over. Inadvertently more casual acceptance of civilian deaths as part of this war I'm certain will prolong the agony and increase the chances of even more American casualties. We must guard against this if at all possible.” I’m sorry to say that history has proven this to be true.

I am running for president to restore the rule of law and to stand up for our divinely inspired Constitution. I have never voted for legislation that is not specifically authorized by the Constitution. As president, I will never sign a piece of legislation, nor use the power of the executive, in a manner inconsistent with the limitations that the founders envisioned.

Many have given up on America as an exemplar for the world, as a model of freedom, self-government, and self-control. I have not. There is hope for America. I ask you to join me, and to be a part of it.

Sincerely,

Ron Paul

Re: Ron Paul's statement of faith
He's got my vote. And he would not use the power of the Federal Government to put doctors and women who have abortion into prison for murder. That is not in the constitution.

Re: Ron Paul's statement of faith
I've heard him speak before where he talked about God's creation. At the presidential debates he was listed as being Protestant, the only one that answered like that. As for his belief in creation, I don't blame him for not raising his hand, onstage in the debates, when they were all asked their views, it was irrelevant and possibly a setup that would latter have sidetracked the whole presidential debate into some other debate.

Ron Paul is the one and only Republican in the primary race that is fit for office.
He is the only Republican who stands for anything...

ALl the rest of the Republican candidates have a clear history of being nothing but bootlicking and pandering politicians.

Lets look at the list of losers being propped up to play the "Well, we lost this one' role for Clinton's sucessful run for the whitehouse.

Gouliani, the adulteress and unstudied hack? Ahh..no.

Mitt Romney, the second generation Toad of Wallstreet and Asslicker for the FED.. Errr, no.

McCain, the Hero that rolled over, and then ran away when the Party chiefs got mad at him for having the balls to run a campaign that they didn't want. No.

Thompson the Actor and Man of Plastic. He was a pussy on the film set of New World Orde.. I mean Law & Order, worrying about his make-up and his panties being to tight. An Actor,.hahahaha., No.

Thompson the Secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005... err, NO!

AS IT STANDS, A VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IN THE FIELD, OTHER THAN
RON PAUL, IS A VOTE FOR HILLARY.
