That was one of the reason's I was a little hesitant about voting for him. I still think he is the best candidate though. My thoughts exactly. But I delved into his positions a bit more, and I could understand where he was coming from, and I respect that, even if I am pro-choice, and pro-same sex marriage and rights.

You are right my friend, and Ron Paul doesn't intend to solve it, but he definitely wants to do more than Giuliani, Romney, or any of the other candidates. He didn't sign the Federal Marriage Amendment, and he doesn't support a federal ban on abortion. According to the Ninth and Tenth amendments, those rights belong to the states. He was doing it because that's what the Constitution says. Trust me, I don't agree with his social standings that much either, but compared to the rest, at least he's not willing to let his personal opinion become his political opinion. PS: The separation of Church and State does not exist. It was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson, but it's not in the Constitution. Actually, the Constitution only forbids Congress from implementing a national church, states actually can, but it would obviously be ill-advised. Look up the Establishment Clause and First Amendment.

What's wrong with the level it's at now? And why does everyone always mention China as controlling our economy when more of our imports come from Canada? Because Canada doesn't pose a potentially dangerous threat to the US. Ron Paul even said himself in an interview, that he talked to a man who moved away from California to China because he could start a buisness faster and cheaper there. Instead of Americans creating our products, we have low-paid Asians doing it instead, with a very unstable currency such as the Yuan. It's definitely Libertarian to want to have more American jobs. Why is Ron Paul the toughest on illegal immigration then huh?

All those sound like the fix would require intervention into the economy. That is not too libertarian sounding to me. Not really. It's perfectly fine to import and export, commerce is great, but at the level it is now, it is not. We are allowing China to control our market by increasing our reliance off of them. It is Libertarian to fix the problems that the Neocons and Democrats caused to our economy, especially with our fiat currency.

If we stopped supporting candidates who outsource American jobs overseas, and who let illegal immigrants take more American jobs, and began to slowly phase out our reliance on imported goods from China, there wouldn't be any need for social programs for the poor.

This topic is about Ron Paul for president in 2008! This is not an advertisement, unlike the other attempt. Google Ron Paul, or YouTube him and you will find amazing videos. This topic is to discuss Ron Paul and his positions, and his strife for Presidency. I'm going to post this for those unfamiliar with him, please don't take it again as an advertisement:

Want to bring our troops home from Iraq? Want to get serious about illegal immigration? Want to end the war on drugs? Want to get rid of the income tax, inflation tax, and the IRS? Want to get rid of No Child Left Behind and bureaucracy in Washington? Want to be able to opt out of Social Security and invest your money as you see fit, not in an almost bankrupt system? Want to be able to finally have those rights endowed to you at birth, Life, Liberty, and Happiness, honoured? Want to finally honour the Constitution of We the People? Want to cut government spending? Want to see lower healthcare costs? Want to stop relying on a fiat currency that's value is decided by 15 men in a marble palace (aka the Federal Reserve) under no scrutiny to Congress or the President? Want a President who finally cares about We the People, not big buisness, lobbyists, special interest groups, and oil executives? If you agree to the above then in your state's respective primary, register Republican and vote: Ron Paul!!

I'll accept he is real in a pantheistic deistic (pandeistic) way. I'm an Atheist, who some would call an Agnostic. If God is real, I only believe he is real in a pantheistic way, with a deistic root. BTW I only use the pronoun "he" because it seems second nature, and "it" sounds awkward. But a god would not have a human sex.

It's not official, but I'd guarantee it will happen eventually.

One is Europe, the other is an ideology just like Anarchism. Anyways, free market real Conservatism owns them both! And I mean real Conservatism, not this phony NeoConservatism (aka the Republican Party) thing that we have in this country.

The Flemish or the French? Because technically it's in Flemish territory, but the Capital Zone is neutral. I hope it won't be another Berlin.
