It only takes a very little amount of freedom to cause enormous benefit. For example, look at the Reagan tax cuts. That launched a 25 year period of fantastic economic growth. Freedom is powerful. Freedom works. Even in little bits. Anyone who can limit the growth of government can cause powerfully positive things to happen.

Ron Paul is the only candidate in either party advocating freedom, the most powerful force there is.

1. He Doesn’t Believe in the Separation of Church and State
2. He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education
3. Yeah, That Means No College Loans
4. He’s Not For National Health Care
5. He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned
6. He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing

Paul believes in the Bill of Rights, so your first comment is just wrong.

We shouldn’t support schools with federal money. In fact I’d say we shouldn’t support them with taxes at all. People are responsible for paying for their children’s education. If you want to help those who can’t afford it, you’re perfectly free to give to charity. But you are NOT free to force others to spend their money as you see fit.

If you support tax-funded national health care then you are both completely disrespectful of the rights of others’ to spend their earnings as they see fit, and you are blissfully ignorant about economic forces, and what kind of unholy pharmo-industrial alliance that would create (and is already starting to create).

Paul does not believe in federally outlawing abortion. He believes it should be up to states to decide. I’m sure that you would admit you agree with that, if forced to admit to your own logical failings. That is, if abortion were federally illegal tomorrow, you’d be in favor of making it a state decision instead of a federal decision. Misunderstanding Paul’s position on abortion is a common sign of the unresearched knee-jerk anti-Paul reaction.

As for global warming, you are again misrepresenting his position. He’s not saying that it’s not real. He’s saying that we have to be realistic about it and how much can really be done to curb it. And he’s saying that there is no absolute certainty about the severity of global warming.

Please do your homework before writing articles.

As to global warming, I don’t believe I’ve ever hear him say that there is “no evidence” but that we don’t know all of the facts. As for his environmental policies in general his statements are that if we enforced property rights we could greatly curb pollution. A company does not have the right to pollute a river that flows downstream, or put pollutants into the air that will go to someone else’s property. If the government were to do more to protect people’s property rights (one of the functions of government that he agrees with), then that would be a good start. I believe he also mentioned that perhaps if we stopped granting oil companies huge subsidies it might help to curb our use (and thus pollution).

It’s not perfect, but the main issues to me are foreign and economic. As the dollar slides into oblivion people are going to care much less for the environment. If we are prosperous and free we will be much more capable of dealing with the environment than if we’re taxed into starvation.

I just have to laugh because the comments here prove the point that RP’s disciples are blinded by their adoration for him. DARE NOT speak of the Reverend Doctor Saint Ron Paul in less than reverent terms, Infidel! Blasphemer!

I have no idea where the Disciples got the idea that attacking RP’s doubters is an effective way to convince voters that RP is the messiah. When’s the last time a troll crapping in your comments changed your mind?

Extremists suck.

(BTW, nice copypasta in some of these comments. I’m starting to see the same copypasta in the comments of a lot of different blogs. Typical spamming troll behavior.)

Justin, you do a disservice to have posted this without looking into where it came from.

All I can say is if the OP is actually surprised about Ron Paul’s stances on these things…. DUH! Many of them are EXACTLY why we support Ron Paul. Yes, he’s right, socialists need not apply!

2. He supports the voucher system and to generally head in the direction of Private Education - which is much more efficient and cheaper.

3. National Healthcare is the worst thing ever, it prevents competition and results in terrible service, the healthcare system has enough government intervention as it is. Watch John Stossel’s Special on Healthcare.

4. Abortion is murder, and even if you believe it isn’t - it still should be handled at the local level not through an arbitrary ruling.

5. Global Warming is not Man Made, carbon-dioxide levels rise hundreds of years after warming thus indicating that CO2 levels do not spur global warming rather the other way and around. The real cause of global warming is solar activity.

6. Stop Pretending, how are you a Ron Paul Supporter? If you don’t agree with him, make slanderous remarks, and proclaim him as a flawed candidate in your title (don’t bullshit me - that another supporter said it, in the end it was your choice to use it).

We’ve been through this SOCAS stuff before, folks. Ad infinitum nauseum. One more time for the newbies and slow-to-get-it types:

Establishment Clause + Free Exercise Clause = Separation of Church and State. No official religion + no stopping practicing religion = religion outside of government. Jefferson wrote it in Virginia and to Danbury. Madison wrote it into the First Amendment (not explicitly, people, implicitly!). The Supreme Court ruled it that way in 1868 and again in 1956 and it is settled law. That does not mean no religious people in government. It does mean no government law or policy based on religion not interfering with religion or religious practices (so long as other individual rights are not violated, either!).

As for the rest:

The only area where I disagree with Dr. Paul on is the abortion issue. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m pro-life personally from losing one of my own, but I can’t force that position on anyone else, so I’m politically pro-choice. But the abortion issue has as much to do with the question of the biological beginning of human life (TBD, in great debate) as it does the LEGAL beginning of human life (at birth). They are in tension and conflict, no doubt, hence there would be no debate. BUT…it’s also about personal responsibility, which is another tense debate. A person should be responsible enough to use birth control to avoid unwanted pregnancy and should not use abortion as a means of brith control as that is shirking their responsibility for getting pregnant in the first place. OTOH, a pregnancy that threatens the health or life of the woman should have abortion allowable. Abortion on demand for convenience, no. No abortion period, no. It is a complex issue. However, I believe this, and I admit my own personal bias up front because of my own loss: there is a loving home for all born children, and we need to either find it or make it. We will never resolve the issue, and the disagreements will continue.

That being said, Roe v. Wade is a fine treatise on the application of legal rights in a proper context (NOT moral rights, which is different!). I suggest people go read it. It is based on the premise that a woman has a right to privacy in her medical decisions that the state should not interfere with under Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rules. I agree with that. I fear that an undermining of Roe v. Wade to the states will create a patchwork of rules that have a woman’s right upheld in some states and denied in others. That goes against the basic concept of the uniformity of our rights in this nation. That’s Dred Scot rules again. We cannot and should not go there.

Either a woman has a constitutional right to make a free choice about her pregnancy in a free society, or she does not in an un-free society. Rights under the law are acknowledged at birth and not before, morally correct or not.

As for Justin, man, you need to get off that fence. That picket spire you’re sitting on must really make your butt sore to put out junk like this post!

I’m not 100% sure that is actually his position but I’ll accept it as such based on the fact that our nation was founded on good, solid Christian values…. a moral center.

2. He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education.

…and thank you that he’s not! The “educational system” (system being the operative word), is broken… a farce. The curriculum is flawed in that if it teaches any thing at all, it’s how to work within this system of fraud.

3. Yeah, That Means No College Loans.

See #2

4. He’s Not For National Health Care.

Again, see #2 (more on this to follow*).

5. He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned.

This is true, HOWEVER, he supports this galvanizing issue being handled on a state-to-state basis, as is Constitutional. Handling it in such a way supports the Constitutional concept of individual rights. This, ideally, gives everyone walking this earth an option: if you don’t like your states policy on that issue, move.

6. He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing.

I was not aware that he held this position on that topic, and will look into that being factual (my sis is an environmental engineer in southern CA so I’m certainly on the “green” page).

* The fact is, numbers 2 - 4 relate directly to financial issues… MONEY.. or what is taught throughout the “educational” process is money. Ron Pauls position regarding this issue is the most important piece of his platform, simply because it negates issues 2 - 4 as well as so many others. A return to the gold standard is critical to the long-term health of any nation… this is historical fact, many times before. One must bear in mind that it’s taken us 94 or so years for us to get this far off the financial track, so it may take some time before it can be righted. But also remember that a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step, and the sooner we take it, the better.

Also, in regards to pro-life issues. Allow the states to decide, and the people to decided through their locally elected representatives.

By the way, its our obligation to question science. He doesn’t deny global warming. But he does question peoples motives, like say maybe Al Gore.

It is not WHAT he votes for, it is WHY he votes for it. That said, he is not for immediately ending all entitlement programs; people have become adapted and accustomed to them, and need to be weaned off slowly.

The What: He is against federal funding (and more importantly, legislating) of education. The WHY: The Constitution has no provision allowing the Federal Government to make policy or give funding in these areas. Education should be left to students, parents, teachers, administrators, and local communities. In the case of Universities, their respective State as well.

The What: He’s against abortion (as an ob-gyn, can we blame him?), and wants to see Roe v Wade overturned. The WHY: He wants to see it overturned because Federal courts have no jurisdiction in a states’ rights issue, and the Federal government has no authority to either ban it OR subsidize it.

The What: Ron Paul is against Universal Health Care. Gee, that sounds bad! Especially coming from a..doctor? Maybe he knows something we don’t. The WHY: Yet again, the Constitution gives no jurisdiction to the Federal Government in the area of health care. Certainly that involvement was not always present, yet we have always had hospitals and the like. There is no need for rules and regulations from Washington to determine practices and legal and illegal medicines in the sovereign states. Our health care prices has gone UP because of government’s managed care practices. The Federal Government just doesn’t have the money or authority to give Universal Health Care to everyone in America, and neither does it have the Authority to impose the huge taxes on everyone that such a program would require.

That’s enough from me, I’ll let someone else do the rest :)

So yes, I follow the movement of freedom with my eyes wide open. Its not about Dr. Ron Paul - its about the message of minimizing government while maximizing freedom.

“I’m guessing a lot more of his faithful are having the same fear.” Why don’t you do some real investigative journalism before using someone else’s opinion to justify your own? Of course Ron Paul isn’t perfect. No candidates ever are. That’s all your article really says.

And as for these “controversial issues,” most Ron Paul supporters are fully aware of them, and we still all agree he’s the best man for the job. We discovered Paul through our own investigation and critical assessment of all the candidates up for consideration, and encourage any potential new supporters to do the same.

#2) As long as people are not allowed to force their religion on each other who cares about how you define the seperation of church and state… why doesnt someone bring up Thomas Jeffersons explaination about the “Seperation of Church and State” which is exactly what Jefferson called it and see what Ron Paul has to say… you cannot simply say he thinks it has no meaning… I have read his qoutes on this matter… he simply doesnt see a need to force christians to keep to themselves. I really wish christians would keep to themselves but I sure done support laws to force them to. THAT would be against seperation of church and state.

#3) What good does federally funding schools do? Why not just not let the feds have that money and we can have state and local funded schools? I would rather see private sector efforts like those by Bill Gates to make newer modern schools and teaching systems replace the federal mandated system.

#4) Ron Paul is not for federal government ran national health care… if WE THE PEOPLE come up with our own way to have single payer without the federal government getting involved what is wrong with that? Why not a single payer system based on the Red Cross? Or some other NGO?

#5) Ron Paul is correct about the abortion issue.. it is NOT slavery… let the states battle it out… science is making this more and more of a moot point anyway.

1. He Doesn’t Believe in the Separation of Church and State
- 1st Amendment issue
1a. Mandatory federal separation makes voluntary participation impossible.
1b. Mandatory participation is against the constitution.

2. He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education
- Parenting, 10th Amendment Issue
2a. More parents than not can best decide how to educate their children.

3. Yeah, That Means No College Loans
- Tax Issue
3a. Federal Student Loans are a vicious tax on higher education. Many parents and many others would have been able to save/invest money for the education of their children if not for the near 35% Federal Income Tax. Effectively, the federal government charges children interest on their parents’ income. Students wouldn’t need loans without the excessive Federal Income Tax.

4. He’s Not For National Health Care
- 10th Amendment Issue
4a. National Health care would lower the quality of medical care for all americans. Can you imagine veterans’ health benefits for all Americans? Would the government have the selective ability to limit who it treats? Do you think that those in government are not racist? Also, look at how safe and inexpensive common procedures such as laser eye surgery have become because of competition in the market. Imagine if the government subsidized medicine as it d

5. He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned
- 10th Amendment Issue
5a. Abortion would be returned to the states, and we’d probably end up right where we are today with abortion safe and legal in every state because the black market for abortions would return. The federal government should never have legislative authority over the unborn. Example: China’s government has this authority and prescribes mandatory abortion for population control.

6. He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing
6a. Doesn’t believe it’s convincing enough to concentrate on the temperature going up instead of concentrating on keeping us from blowing each other up. Seriously, will we be very good at regulating the weather?

2+3. How has this helped our education system? We still decide who goes to college based on grades and extra-curricular merits from high-school. States, in large part, fund people going to their state colleges and universities. What the wide availability of these federal funds has done is make tuition skyrocket in the last few years… ever read the newspaper? They have an article on it nearly every week. So tuition goes up, the same number of kids go to the same schools, but the difference is the schools make a ton of cash and the kids rack up a ton of debt. It is a total waste of money. I wish I wasn’t able to get funds… I’m still 14k in the hole 3 years later!

4. Any time the government has stepped in and tried to coordinate a large social program, be it retirement, medicine, or disability services they’ve failed miserably. There’s a three year wait to get on disability and even then you only get your case heard… you still might not get any money. Then you have to pay lawyers to settle it all out. Is it any wonder that lawyers are huge funders of Giuliani and Hillary? Ron Paul is right about health-care. You should go listen to some interviews where he’s had time to sit down and explain his goals, not the 30 seconds he gets in the debates. Take social security - in 1935 their plan was to take only 3% of the first $3,000 of your income and they said that it would pay all the necessary benefits. Today that would be 3% of $50k due to inflation. But we actually pay 15.3% of the first $90,700 just to make it work. And we even tax the first 85% of the benefits that are paid out! That is definitely a system that has failed to deliver on its promises. We can expect more of the same from national health care since the same people are still running the government.

5. Some people see abortion as a religious stance, I don’t. We provide protection to bald eagle eggs and sea turtle eggs based on the fact that we understand that they will grow into an eagle or a turtle. We do not provide the same protection for a growing human embryo and that is baffling to me. Roe vs Wade decided that a fetus is not a “person” and thus is not “human” and so has no rights. Doesn’t anyone find this odd? You could make an excuse for rape victims or cases where the mother may actually die should the baby cause complications, but with the kill count at 29 million in 30 years, I doubt the majority of those are from either rape or other serious health problems. We have only lost about 1.5 million people since 1776 due to all wars and conflicts combined! Yet we’ve terminated about 20 times that many pregnancies in just 30 years. And the democrats and Giuliani want this to be funded by the government! That is a shame.

6. What evidence? Has the sea risen? If earth was seriously off balance temperature-wise, wouldn’t the sea have risen at least a foot or two? Dr. Paul is probably right that whatever evidence we could find that humans have had a huge effect on the overall global climate is within the margin of error for all events caused by nature - volcanoes and the like. Locally, in places like Los Angeles, NYC, Hong Kong and others you could make a case that the local climate is indeed very much affected, but globally it is probably minimal. Also, we could change America’s habits but we cannot enforce these things on any other nation, like China, so what’s the point? If you want to make a change do it yourself by buying more responsible vehicles, such as hybrids or small cars, instead of pickups and suvs! Don’t use your home heating and A/C so much. These are things that America as a group of concerned people should promote but not necessarily the realm of federal government. California is a great example of a state taking the bull by the horns and going their own way.

Peace

My wife is a VERY liberal social worker, her only complaint is #5 but admits it’s at least tolerable to her since she 100% opposes 3rd term abortions, which honestly is likely the way most states will go.

He is for the states controlling education, not the federal government. Something wrong with this?

My girlfriend is from Whales and, believe me, she does NOT want to go back to government health care.

Paul wants Roe vs Wade overturned because he feels it is too sensitive an issue to have a blanket law for the entire country. What is good for one state may not be good for another. For the same reason he thinks the government should stay the hell away from arresting people in California for using medical mary jane. Abortion is one of those things that nobody will EVERY agree. Therefore, it should be left to the state to decide whether or not it is legal, not a few people in a supreme court thousands of miles away. If there is a vote in FL, and it is voted legal to abort at up to 6 months that means the people of that state have spoken! Maybe you should listen to a few of the things he says about abortion, since he was an OB/GYN doctor.

I also heard him in an interview saying that global warming is a problem, but it is not a problem that should be subsidized by the government.

I will admit though that it is hard to talk to the brainwashed liberals about voting for Ron Paul when they are voting 99% for environmental issues. Either say “He wants to leave it up to the states,” “He hasn’t come out against the EPA in his campaign,” or move on to trying to convince Republicans who dont believe in man made global warming anyway.

If your primary reason for voting is national sovereignty, national security, anti-war, anti-illegal immigration, civil rights, civil liberties, personal integrity, end to no-bid contracts, low taxes, economic issues, a sane drug policy, rule of law, or all of the above, Ron Paul is undoubtedly your candidate. Socialists and brainwashed Republican “useful idiots” of the globalist corporate machine need not apply.

I do not feel when you add up all the odd Ron Paul “stuff” it amounts to anything when compared to the load the others in the presidential race carry.

Ron Paul constantly addressed by two or more negatives like, long shot, dark horse, Libertarian, No Chance Of Winning, 1% in the polls, etc., frankly he has received the most negative biased treatment I have ever seen. Could people get by with this type of slander against Obama or Keys?

If Rudy (you know he ran NY during 9-11, if you did not, wait 5 seconds he will tell you) had to carry the truth 1/10 of the amount of time Dr. Ron Paul did Rudy would be out of the race.

While some in government hunt, fish collect stamps, Rudy sells American soil for the NAFTA superhighway to foreign countries through his law firm while running for president. I believe many Americans would classify this opportunistic behavior as treasonous, and unpatriotic. America’s attention does not seem to make it there because hacks like kids waiting to see Santa are poking at Ron Paul.

By this logic; if Ron Paul was a scum bag, cross dresser, selling America down the tubes all would be good with the world, and the Neocons would live happily ever after?

Do me a favor and get your morality radar on the real enemy. Hillary, Rudy, Fred, Mitt, all have more baggage than Dr. Ron Paul. These slime balls are the best politicians special interest group money can buy. We are talking about turning the government back over to “We the People” not the highest bidders. When it comes to viewpoints, Hillary, Rudy, Fred, Mitt has had more positions than Anna Nichole. Out of all this HORROR you were inspired to pick on the short comings of Dr. Ron Paul? Get with the program son.

2-3) College costs are soaring because of student aid. Think about it. College is always going to cost barely what a student can afford, when the government gives aid they just raise prices until they soak up the subsidy, and charge what the student cant barely afford.

4) The rest of the world with socialized health care is moving towards market system, why we, the only country that got it right first would go backwards boggles me. I guess if you want your health care to be like the post office or a communal farm go ahead.

5) Abortion is a severe infringement on the liberty of the human life form in the uterus. Notice I did not call the human life form a “person”, but it is human, and it is alive. In my humble opinion, all humans have a right to life that is the foundation of any liberty.

6) Wolf!!!! Wolf!!!! Wolf!!!!!!

1. He Doesn’t Believe in the Separation of Church and State

This claim has no merit. Yes, Ron Paul believes that people should be able to pray in schools. He isn’t saying that he believes that only Christians can, but that EVERYONE can, regardless of your religion.

Ron Paul follows the Constitution and it states..

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

His record has never strayed from that. If you are going to make this claim, provide some evidence.

2. He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education

And? Are you living in some bubble where the federal government is actually doing a good job telling state and local governments how to teach children? No Child Left Behind? You support that? Have you ever spoken to a teacher?

Education should be left up to the state and local governments. When you get the federal government involved, you don’t get results. Katrina and New Orleans is another example of how the federal government failed at providing help.

Talk to teachers and parents, research how bad it gets when the federal government gets involved in education. America education system isn’t the laughing stock of the modern world because of a fluke. There are reasons, and one is the involvement of the federals government.

3. Yeah, That Means No College Loans

No loans from the government. You’ll be able to get loans from countless other institutions. You’ll be ok.

4. He’s Not For National Health Care

Again, are you for a socialist system? You want the government telling you where you can get medical treatment, what treatment you can get, and how much of it you can get? Keep the government out of heathcare.

Take a few minutes and do some research to read up on Ron Paul’s views of the healthcare system. He he is doctor who has dealt with insurance for many years. He knows there is a problem and has some very good solutions for it without having to get the federal government involved.

5. He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned

Sigh.. I’m so sick of this. Yes, he wants this overturned and at a personal level he doesn’t think abortion should be legal. But this is a state and local matter. To have 1 ruling that prevails over every single state, county, town, city, etc is stupid.

He wants to let the states decide. As he has said (paraphrase) “The more serious the issue, the more local the solution should be.”

6. He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing

It isn’t that he doesn’t believe in man-made global warming, he doesn’t believe that it is 100% to blame. He has stated many times that we need to address issues of the environment, with private properties rights, etc.

Please take some time out of your day and research before posting an article like this. Simply copy/pasting from some other anti-Ron Paul blog (I’ve seen that exact list, exactly formatted like that on many sites) is pretty weak and shows that either you just don’t like Ron Paul because someone you know doesn’t, or that you simply trying to spread anti-Ron Paul propaganda.

He’s far from perfect, he has his flaws, I don’t agree 100% on everything with him but he is a good man who cares for this country. Research Ron Paul.

Of all the things to write about, why this? You are kidding me right?

I do not feel when you add up all the odd Ron Paul ” odd stuff” it amounts to anything when compared to “the load” the others in the presidential race carry.

Ron Paul is constantly addressed by two or more negatives like, long shot, dark horse, Libertarian, No Chance Of Winning, 1% in the polls, etc., frankly he has received the most negative biased treatment I have ever seen. Could people get by with this type of slander against Obama or Keys?

While some in government hunt, fish, or collect stamps, Rudy sells American soil for the NAFTA superhighway to foreign countries through his law firm while running for president. I believe many Americans would classify this opportunistic behavior as treasonous, and unpatriotic. Where is the press machine pushing this agenda? Where are you ? America’s attention does not seem to make it there because political hacks like kids waiting to see Santa are poking at Dr. Ron Paul.

By this logic; if Ron Paul was a scum bag, cross dresser, selling America down the tubes all would be good with the world, and the Neocons would live happily ever after?

When it comes to viewpoints, Hillary, Rudy, Fred, Mitt has had more positions than Anna Nichole. Out of all this HORROR you were inspired to pick on the short comings of Dr. Ron Paul? Get with the program, son.

People who are going to rip on Paul’s opinions should first learn where his opinions come from.

There is a proper way for government to function and it begins and ends with the Constitution.

Why Don”t You Know Ron Paul??????

The corporate media will not give Ron Paul any Exposure. Because, NBC is owned by GE. GE is one of the world’’s largest war-makers. They make things that go boom. They make $Billions on war. A Ron Paul administration would be bad for business. CNN is owned by AOL. Majority share holder is Saudi Royal Talal who is also partners with GHWBush in The Carlyle Group. Another major warmaker. And on and on. You get the picture. This is why they are doing a Media Blackout on him. Because they don”t WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH!!!

We have Domestic Terrorists It Is Called The Bush Administration And All Of His “Secretive Signed Statements” Either Stand Up Now or Go To Sams Club And Keep Buying Cases of Vasiline So When You Put Hillary In Office! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Ron Paul supports education at the state level–he wants the the same tasks taken care of at the state and local level that is now handled at the national level. So you would get education assisstance–it would just be handled by the states.

He supports free market health care. Again, any govt. involvement would come from states.

He is personally opposed to abortion. However, he just wants to keep the courts from ruling on it and leave it to the people, state by state.

2. He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education
Why should he be? Federal funding accounts for less than 10% of the money that goes to public schools. The rest is supplied by the state. Yet, the federal government is able to enforce curriculum and policies like “No Child Left Behind” which has done more to damage our educational system than anything in recent memory. School curriculum, control, and accountability should be left to the states and local communities. Let parents decide what is right for their children, not the people on Capitol Hill.

3. Yeah, That Means No College Loans
That doesn’t mean no college loans. It means no FEDERAL college loans. Big difference.

4. He’s Not For National Health Care
We already have national health care. It’s called Medicare. I’ve yet to meet someone who is satisfied with the job that Medicare is doing. We need to revamp the system and get away from socialized medicine. Give people a choice in how they are treated and how it is paid for.

5. He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned
I’m pro-choice and also would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned. The federal government has no authority to tell citizens whether or not abortion is legal. Now, if someone can manage to pass a constitutional amendment stating that life begins at conception (meaning that you would have your right to life and liberty then, rather than at birth), then abortion would become illegal. Frankly, that is not going to happen. There is not enough support for such a measure. But just because Roe v. Wade happens to support my view doesn’t make it right. The federal government has no say in this issue.

6. He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing
He’s not alone. Many scientists maintain the view that the Earth goes through periodic cycles of hot and cold, and that our current “hot” cycle is only casually linked to human factors. Now, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to conserve, pollute less, etc. But it does mean that rather than approaching this from a perspective of global warming, we should be approaching this from a perspective of pollution. Nobody has the right to pollute my air and water. Whether or not that pollution is causing global warming is beside the point.

The Constitution merely says that “Congress shall write no law about the ESTABLISHMENT of religion.” It says nothing about separation.
I want parents making educational decisions not bureaucrats.
College is expensive because of government aid from my taxes.
Health Care is prohibitive because of the regulation of the market.
I want Roe overturned, because the unborn have the right to life.
And there is no Global Warming. Its all a big con job to raise taxes.
