  • Dr. Paul: Living and governing with Christian Principles.

    In this video,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4vnCwM9cIg

    Ron Paul shares his life's principles. He covers his understanding of family values, and the roles of individuals and government.

    Here is a list of items he mentions in this video. For quick reference I've included the video time in parenthesis. Christians should recognize these values. These are the values which Ron Paul lives by.

    1. He describes what fascinates him about new life and the natural value of life seen in each other. (1:06)
    2. He believes that the family is under attack and has some ideas of what to do about it. He also mentions an important reference in the bible as a description of and a warning for the today's family. (1:30)
    3. Biblical teachings in I Samuel 8 there are warnings to the people about having a king to make them safe and secure. With a king like other nations the people's morals would be superseded and their family members and wealth would be used by the king for his own purposes, i.e. the state's purposes. Ron describes the shift from a governing body of family and judges towards a king, i.e. today's federal government. I Samuel 8:10-22
    4. "We have too often relied on our king in Washington and we have to "change" that." (3:00)
    Ron Paul compares these warning in Samuel to how we the people have now have relied too much upon the Federal Government as their king today and how we need to heed this warning now and change the current role of federal government or else it will be too late.
    5. He explains that a nations law can never change the morality of the people but rather the laws do reflect the morality or immorality of a people. (3:40) (very important point) Later on Ron Paul mentions that the morality of a nation will come from the individuals, families and the church.
    6. Explains progressing of laws changing as the people's hearts and morality had changed. Vietnam war, drugs and decade of abortion violations, etc. (4:15)
    7. Biblical mandate of honest money. No central banking system! (4:35)
    8. Welfare and benefits. Moral society has changed. Cradle to grave mentality is not a biblical mandate. (6:00) These are the responsibility of the family and churches.
    9. Dr. Paul talks about just war principles and where that originated. In both the Old and New Testament Christ was recognized as the Prince of Peace. What are we to be-the peace makers or the war makers? (6:12)
    Going to war should always be done under the proper authority. "Today, I think the proper authority is NOT the UN or the NATO authorities that take us to war!" (7:30) Just war principles.
    10. Caring for the poor, family, neighbors and friends is a personal responsibility. (7:50)
    Do we need more laws or a better understanding of our Christian principles.
    11. Ron Paul is pro-life!! "You can not be a great defender of Liberty if you do not defend and understand what life is all about and where it comes from." (8:27)
    12. A biblical Foreign policy based upon the golden rule. (9:18)
    The book of Isaiah reference to the ending of wars. Reasons why wars undermine our families, it is one of the greatest threats to our families. Peace is far superior to war.(9:55)
    13. Ron's vision. His explanation of what is the proper goal of a free society seeking virtue and excellence as individuals. Also, explains how we are losing our liberty. Get rid of dept of education-responsibility of parents.(13:09)
    14. Where do our morals and values come from? Not the government! Individuals, family and our churches, that is where our moral values should come from and that is where we have slipped. (14:20)
    "We must change our hearts if we expect to change our family and treat our family values as it should be." (15:09)
    15. Debt. We have been blessed in this country. Debt is not a biblical principle. We are living way beyond our means, whether personal and national. (15:25)
    Proper role and responsibility of government. (16:00) Right to work hard, have incentive, a right to life and liberty then there is the right to the fruits of our labors.
    Ron references again I Samuel and how the kings desires may be thwarted, by fighting for these issues.
    16. What is the role of government? Founding Fathers said the role of gov't is the protection of liberty!! (17:35)
    Our experiment is about to end. Are we transforming from a Republic into a dictatorship? Describes what the government is doing. (18:00)
    17. Read the constitution carefully for our roles as citizens. The Constitution restraints are placed upon the Federal government! (19:05)
    LETS RESTORE LIBERTY to this county and PROSPERITY, and PEACE!!!!

    So, send this video and the listed items to a Christian friend who may not be convinced. There are many other videos and documents which exhibit his values.

    Just as the Constitution may not have the word "God" mentioned God's principles are well contained within it AND it builds upon the previous and most famous unanimous Declaration of dependance upon Him.

    Have a blessed day

     

  • Go ahead, vote not to lose and we all WILL AGAIN!

    Here is a four part audio of a speech from 2007's original Tea Party gathering at Faneuil Hall in Boston.

    I do not remember the name of the person who presented this speech, maybe someone may help identify him. As we listen to him speak we recognize the same problem happening today as it did in 2008. Some of the names have changed but the problem with selecting the right candidate remains the challenge.

    Ron Paul is the only constitutional candidate who knows the presidents job description well written in Article II. He also understands the assigned Constitutional spending allowances also well written and located in Article I Section 8.

    Please take the time to remember the real roots of the Tea Party via these audios and notice that now in 2012 the problem has not changed and needs to quickly.

    Some lines from the speech....

    "Conservatives must stop contenting themselves from losing as slowly as possible."

    "Why vote not to lose while a principled candidate who CAN win is running and after winning will actually do the right thing?"

    "Pat Robertson (2008) had endorsed Rudi Giuliani.....Pat Robertson may be the biggest looser."

    "Paul Wyrick said, "Now that Romney has flipped (or flopped) our way he's ok."

    "There are no flips or flops nor any I voted for the bill before I voted against it from Ron Paul!"

    "Let's vote to win. Forget the media's invitation of voting for the best presidential candidate we're going to vote for the candidate who will make the best presdent, Dr. Ron Paul!"

    Part I  (I'm sorry, I didn't have intro and do not know how much I missed at the beginning of speech)

    Part II

    Part III

    Part IV

    Have a blessed day.

     

  • Are you a conservative hypocrite?

    I challenge your knowledge of the ISSUES!!! Can you take your blinders off for awhile and pretend you still desire to receive instruction?

    Why is it so many conservatives seek to vote for the "newcomers" to the cause of spending cuts? Many voters have voted and will soon vote for Romney or Santorum to cut the spending despite the fact they have supported big spending in the past. Look at this posted video of Mitt Romney seeking to take as much money from the government as he can to make the Olympics successful!!!! Both Mitt and Santorum had their hands in that spending spree!!! Neither seem to have a guilty conscience about spending nor the taking of the taxpayers' money!!

    Ron Paul has never voted for higher taxes nor unconstitutional big spending bills and has the best budget recovery plan. I don't think he even travels on the publicly funded subways!! He's been walking the talk for twelve terms in congress!!! Right from the beginning he has been voting correctly! None of this flipping like Mitt Romney nor any Santorum forgive me speeches where he states “When you’re part of the team, sometimes you take one for the team for the leader, and I made a mistake,” are you going to fall for that line.....again?

    Next, why is it so many of you called conservative voters seek the "newcomers" in the cause of pro-life? Many will vote for Romney and Santorum to protect life when they didn't use to and have flipped and flopped on the issue. See Santorum sitting (on stage!) and agreeing with Arlen Spector's 1995 presidential announcement speech including the need to protect the woman's right to choose abortion!!!!

    Dr. Ron Paul never has flipped nor flopped and has always been pro-life. He's even delivered over four thousand babies!!! How ironic is that to be able to vote for a candidate with true credentials in the cause of life!!!

    So, I ask, how in this fallen world can any of you so called conservative voters vote for these other two when you have a solid and proven Constitutionalist such as Ron Paul? Let me tell you why, you're all neo-conservatives who can't kick the desire to go to war with other nations and Ron Paul's has this foreign policy which is constitutionally based and called the non-interventionist position. "Blessed are the peace makers...not the war makers", Ron Paul quoting scripture support for his position which was ours as a nation until ten years ago. He also supports the Christian just war principles. His position goes against your fighting spirit!! Go ahead police the world and drive our young blood six feet into the ground and our national debt to the moon!!!

    So, now take a long look in the mirror, what you see is a hypocrite!!! You're not really pro-life because you seek to take innocent lives in unjust wars over seas and vote for phoney pro-life candidates. Remember, being pro-life is not just to protect the innocent life in the womb but to prevent the unjust killing of "innocent" people.

    In addition to that you don't truly want to stop the spending, even when we're already broke!! You have a need to spend more on wars causing us all to go further into an unrecoverable level of debt!!!

    Isn't that just wonderful, we have a humble gentleman in Ron Paul and you can't see to send him a vote to be president because....why??? Does everyone think Paul is going to legalize all the drugs? No, he's talking about getting the federal government out of the war on drugs programs. The states will take care of these drug issues instead. Now, go ahead tell me why else? Please take off your blinders, kick you're killing habit. Vote for Ron Paul for a true change for the better. Restore America NOW!!!!

    Here is a video of Arlen Spector announcing his presidential run back in March of 1995. Rick Santorum may be seen sitting to the left of Arlen Specter clapping and nodding with approval and support!!! Do you care to know to what is he shaking and clapping to?

    If that's not enough, fool me once, etc, nine years later in 2004 Santorum also endorsed the since deceased Democrat Senator Spector in his senate re-election bid instead of the conservative Pat Toomey. Do we not yet see a problem with Santorum's wisdom and discernment?

    All you so called conservative Rick Santorum supporters, PLEASE note these spots on the tape:

    Here is a list of points on the recording for you to quickly check out for yourself!!

    3’46 mark: “In 1996, I intend to win the other house — the White House — with ten commitments to America… including a woman’s right to choose…

    13’22 mark: “Even though we have this historic opportunity for these achievements, there are those in our party who would lead us down a different path — and squander this unique moment in our nation’s history — by using our political capital — to pursue a radical social agenda — that would end a woman’s right to choose…

    13’48 mark: “When Pat Robertson says there is no constitutional doctrine of separation between Church and State, I say he is wrong…

    14’31 mark: “When Ralph Reed says a pro-choice Republican isn’t qualified to be our President, I say the Republican Party will not be intimidated or blackmailed by those kinds of threats.I, and millions of other pro-choice Republicans, will not be disenfranchised and made second class citizens.

    15’33 mark: “… it is not Christian, or religious, or Judeo-Christian to bring God into politics; or to advocate intolerance and promote exclusion.

    15’54 mark: “I want to take abortion out of politics. I want to keep the Republican Party focused on the vital economic and foreign policy issues — and leave moral issues such as abortion to the conscience of the individual. I believe abortion is an issue to be decided by women…

    16’40 mark: “I pledge to lead the fight to strip the strident anti-choice language from the Republican National platform…”

    Ok, you may now put up your shield and forget all that you've read. Go vote your conscience. Ron Paul is not a politician, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are big politicians!!!

    Last of all I'm not saying that one man will save this nation. What will save this nation is when we the people repent from our sins and turn back to the one true God of the bible. Let us once again be a great nation by doing what is righteous. Let us discern wisely who will be able to carry this out for us. 

    Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!
