You Either Love Him, Or You Don't Understand Him

Today is the birthday of possibly the most loved (by patriots) and most hated (by politicians) man in our modern U.S. history, Dr. Ron Paul.

The one and only "politician" who has been 100% consistent throughout his career, whether it's running a wildly successful OB/GYN practice (personally delivering 4,000 babies) while not accepting MedicAid, to refusing a government pension and returning his Congressional budget balance to the treasury each year.  Ron Paul has been a lone voice in heralding Christian principles such as

  • sound money vs. fiat currency 
  • just war; non-interventionism (PLEASE, PEOPLE, DON'T CALL HIM A PACIFIST.  HE SERVED IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL GUARD.  THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.  LOOK IT UP)
  • limited government that doesn't regulate the righteous, but instead only restrains the wicked (I Tim. 1:9; Romans 13:3)
  • the sanctity of human life
  • marriage as a sacred institution, not a government institution
  • The Golden Rule (spoken by Jesus originally, not Ron Paul!) as foreign policy

Ron Paul has reminded us all of what made America great.

Let's all lift a glass of raw milk in honor of Dr. Paul's 77th birthday!
