Ron Paul Has Endorsed a Theocratic Neofascist

Ron Paul is the gift that keeps on giving. A few days ago, he endorsed Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin for president. Ever heard of the Constitution Party? They kind of want to impose Christian beliefs on all of us in a hardcore fashion. Think The Handmaid's Tale.
"The mission of the Constitution Party is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations."
Hey, that doesn't sound to bad right? Wrong. Take a look at the last few words. "Biblical common-law foundations." That is, to put it simply, some fucked up shit.
The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.

This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.

The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.
Hey, thanks for not killing people of other religions. Mighty neighborly of you. Too bad it doesn't say anything about gay people, who would be killed or imprisoned under "Biblical foundations."
Biblical law as interpreted by these folks means the death penalty for homosexuals, adulterers, and recalcitrant children.
Way to go, Ron Paul!

Give me a break. No one believes the things you say they believe in. Call them and ask if you don't believe me. They'll give it to you in writing.

Way to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt and lies. You might as well be a George Bush neo-con. If you don't like them find a party you do agree with. We need less lies not more.
