Why did Bachmann vote for the Nancy Pelosi Economic Stimulus then?

Because she has very weak principles, they will fold easily under political pressure, unlike Ron Paul who has never once done something against his principles.

It saddens me that people can be so gullible.
 
His war mongering at the end of the show bothered me a lot.

I wanna e-mail or text him about it. Anyone got his contact info?

"then poo-poo Paul for not talking tough on sin. "

Apparently Deace's preachers in Iowa can't do this well enough so he needs politicians to do so.

Ha, ha!

To him, government is something that God ordained and set up, and is thus essentially part of the ecclesiastical structure. This is what he meant, I think, when he said "All governments are theocracies, it's just a question of who or what the 'theo' is". The 'theo' is supposed to be God. The government is supposed to be part of God's promotional apparatus and part of His righteous plan for humanity.

So the government should be part of the Church, one arm in the Church structure, just as necessary as missions, congregations, and all the rest. This view has a certain consistency within the Evangelical framework. The goal is to stamp out sin, and God Himself has already said via Paul, Augustine, Luther, and every other authority that the government is a God-ordained and perfectly acceptable way of pursuing this goal, so to neglect that avenue of sin-stamping would be a waste, a shame, and probably sinful in itself.

I'm just glad I'm a Mormon. We have additional light and revelation contradicting this authoritarian line of reasoning. "Mind Your Own Business", that is the Mormon Creed.

"Mind Your Own Business" is a good creed. Concerning Deace, he's worse than a liberal. When someone uses their religion to justify a position, their position becomes unwavering and secured by faith. You can't argue with faith.

Really? You should read his endorsement of Bachmann then. Says she is the only consistent candidate without flipflops. Doesn't even mention Dr. Paul. And you think he is an ally?

She was on during Obama's speech yesterday (Fox News) saying she was the ONLY CONSISTENT candidate. WOW. I felt like punching her lights out.

What a liar.

Take that, Deace. I hope you're reading.

Someone needs to play him Ron's CPAC speech. Someone also needs to direct him to the book of Samuel, where the Israelites were demanding a king, and God told them, basically, "YOU'LL BE SORRY." What an idiot shill. Where is Ben Swann when you need him?

Well, yeah, those who use religion to position themselves as pro-life while supporting an aggressive foreign policy are despicable people. I wouldn't have much of an issue calling them degenerates and false witnesses.

Well, ya know...God only loves Americans with bomb capability. Brown people, not so much.

What the....??? Warmongering fascist? Thug?

You realize these folks CAN be our allies to some extent, can be helpful, lurk on this very forum?

Yes, those who advocate using the state to force their view of morality and impose their vision of the world on others are fascists, and cheerleaders of war are warmongers. Advocates of force are thugs.
 
Take the high road, people, and please remember that we are Ron Paul's ambassadors. The way we act and react, does reflect upon Ron Paul.

Why bother? The guy is clearly a lying shill. A wolf, lying with sheep. And I mean that in the most high-roady, nice, ambassadorially way possible.

I guess because I never lose hope that something someone says will reach a person like Deace. I think Baldwin would be the perfect person to try. I don't see how it would hurt.
