Reddit is blowing up right now with a lot of anti-Paul sentiment. http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/oifeb/my_reaction_upon_finding_that_ron_paul_does_not/
What is Dr. Paul's position regarding the matter? If a city wants to only put a Christmas tree on public land, isn't that endorsing religion? People are free to exercise their religious freedoms, but most of the lawsuits Paul seems to degrade has to do with the state endorsing religion, which seems to be prohibited by the constitution. This and evolution are some of the things that the young people dislike regarding Ron Paul.
They also give this thumbs up: The same problem as saying "states should decide whether to make laws barring atheists from office." In small local populations (rural communities) there is a lack of international culture (no outsiders/Europeans, Asians, etc.) which can bleed through and influence local curriculums. This is why you generally have more educated populations in cities because you have increased diversities of experience and you don't just have a shit ton of hicks who use religion and "AMERIKUH fuck yea" attitudes to dictate their daily life.
Regarding a thread that Ron Paul's budget would erase billions in research spending I said:
So let me get this straight searine, you think you have a right to threaten me by force and steal the fruits of my labor to fund whatever you want, and if I don't comply you put me in a cage? Ron Paul has principles in which he votes on. If you want to voluntarily spend money on research, please do. Don't steal from me though. If you think it's worthwhile then when I get sick I'll pay you and arm and a leg if I think it's worth it for whatever drug you come up with.
Someone replied: Dude, America was built on the combined efforts of its populace. If you make these cuts, America would no longer be a world leader in science and research.
But I suppose the fruits of your labour are more important than the future of your country. As such, I recommend your anus as a receptacle for said fruits.
I'm getting downvoted while they are getting upvoted. Any opinions?
