For whatever it's worth, here's the story that is linked underneath the weird photo:

"Let me be very clear: life begins at conception. It is the duty of the government to protect life, as set forth in our founding documents," said Paul.
"While I am known for my defense of Liberty, I often say that you can’t have Liberty without Life," Paul continued. "I don't just believe life begins at conception; I know it as a scientific certainty. And I have sponsored bills in Congress to make this definition law."
In the same statement, Paul went on to say: "A Human Life Amendment should do two things. First, it should define life as beginning at conception and give the unborn the same protection all other human life enjoys. Second, it must deal with the enforcement of the ruling much as any law against violence does--through state laws.
"To summarize my views--I believe the federal government has a role to play," said Paul. "I believe Roe v. Wade should be repealed. I believe federal law should declare that life begins at conception. And I believe states should regulate the enforcement of this law, as they do other laws against violence."
"I don't see the value in setting up a federal police force on this issue any more than I do on other issues," Paul said. "The Fourteenth Amendment was never intended to cancel out the Tenth Amendment. This means that I can’t agree that the Fourteenth Amendment has a role to play here, or otherwise we would end up with a 'Federal Department of Abortion.' Does anyone believe that will help life? We should allow our republican system of government to function as our Founders designed it to: protect rights at the federal level, enforce laws against violence at the state level.
"As President, I will sign and aggressively advocate for a law that removes abortion from the jurisdiction of the federal courts," said Paul. "This approach, done by simple majority vote and stroke of my Presidential Pen, would effectively overturn Roe v. Wade and allow states to pass strong pro-life legislation immediately. Millions of lives would be saved by this approach while we fight to make every state a right to life state."
In the same addedum to his Personhood Pledge, Paul vowed to stop enforcement of all Obamacare regulations, including the one that would force Catholic employers to provide health insurance that covers contraceptives and abortifacients.

MEME MEME MEME
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SAID:
The Federal Government PROTECTS OUR RIGHTS,
The States ENFORCE LAWS AGAINST VIOLENCE.
That quote needs to spread like VIRAL FIRE! It needs to be pounded into the heads of every American. Ultimately that is what this campaign is all about, moreso than RP2012... its about making this mental transformation in public thought.

What it means I have no clue. Where it's from, I would imagine, is probably a Romney election night rally with a FOX News Ron Paul interview on at the time.

The article is good except for the headline which is misleading: "Ron Paul on Social Conservatism: 'I Think It's a Losing Position'"
He never said being a social conservative is bad, like the article implies. He said running on social issues (in the context of Santorum's campaign) is a losing position. The headline should replace "Social Conservatism" with "Social Issues". Of course he goes on to explain that social issues should be handled by the states. But the headline is bad.

It means all the Romney voters are going to be forced to back Ron "f***ing" Paul at the end of the day when all is said and done, come convention time!
