To say that I'm disappointed right now that Rand Paul dropped out is an understatement.
It is my personal and sincere belief that God sends people like the Pauls to show how wicked this nation really is. Ron and Rand have offered a truly Christian perspective on politics and policy for this nation, yet they don't go around using Christ's name in their effort to achieve their goals.
I have always held the belief that it is the actions, not the words, that define a follower of Christ.
The Paul's have voiced, voted, rallied, and supported seeking PEACE in our nations foreign policy, correcting decades of wrong, that have been perpetrated by both sides of the political aisle.
The Paul's actions, and words in regards in treating people with our charge, is what Christ would do. Talking about making "Sand Glow" via carpet bombing, then invoking "the body of Christ" is exactly the opposite of what Christ preached, and more in line of what the Antichrist would say or do.
I think this nation needs to frankly look in the mirror, and think about what this nation has become.
More importantly, we as Christians need to look in the mirror, and ask ourselves who Christ really was. Would Christ support those that invoke his name, then talk openly about war and violence?
Would Christ support those that collude with liars and murders in governments around the world, giving billions of dollars to governments that use that money to by weapons, that end up being used against innocent people?
Maybe those that consider themselves "Christians" really aren't Christians after all? Maybe the word Christian is just a security blanket to cover up with after you support politicians, that represent the entire nation, do terrible things in our name?
Again. Read. Research. Dig. Every candidate should be vetted.
No candidate is perfect, but one that supports what this country was founded on, the Constitution. That actually brings forth basically the "policy" of Christ, without labeling it as such, needs to be supported. Not ridiculed.
We as Christians should be able to recognize Christ in action, and unfortunately, the only candidate that I can truly feel comfortable with calling a man of Christ, has dropped out.
It's a sad day, and I am ashamed of being called an American.
