Ron Paul: I oppose ‘In God We Trust’ bill

Print Friendly

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Thursday he opposes the Republican measure that seeks to reaffirms the country’s “In God We Trust” motto.

The resolution overwhelmingly passed the House on Wednesday, attracting only nine “no” votes. Paul, who is running for president, missed the vote.

Paul said he didn’t think the resolution was necessary, saying he wouldn’t have brought it up.

“I would have voted ‘no’ not because I don’t like the motto and don’t think we can use it but ‘no’ because we were telling the states what to do,” Paul told The Hill.

The GOP measure stands behind the national motto, which is used in public schools, public buildings and other government institutions.

    RON PAUL = NON EVENT, NON ISSUE, USELESS…

    • doctodrewl

      The only politician in both party who has a plan to fix the economy… by ending the foreign wars of aggression… is a complete waste of time. Sure, bro… and 2+2=5.

      • Phillip Mele

        Ron Paul is dedicated to conservative principles. Obviously people who say things like he is a waffler and that the wars have not cost this country trillions are faux news brainwashies and obviously didn’t read why we do not need this wasted time when the federal reserve is getting ready to rip all Americans off to “chip in” to bail out the Greeks and probably another poorly managed insolvent car company, or bank or ten.
        There are a lot of other good conservative things about his buget cutting plan other than ending “The ten year wars”, top priority being able to defend our own boarders. “Waffler”? it sounds as if your head has been pressed in a waffler, it is already the countries motto and he doesn’t have a problem with it. What is this waisted time…we need to be cutting tax rates and trimming the budget not to mention keeping a close eye on the even more easily corruptable gang od 13.
        The idea that a new tax plan has to be “revenue neutral” is also one of the least thoughtout statements ever conceived if your a conservative. The revenue has to be cut…hell SLASHED TO LITTLE PIECES, is more like it.

        • Paul

          Your right. These folks that talk about “working toward a balanced budget in 8 years” just don’t understand that we don’t have 8 years. We must start NOW to not only balance the budget but pay off the national debt. We can no longer provide the WORLD with a free police force.

        Walk softly and carry a big stick.

      • Majjohn

        Further evidence that he’s a nutty old coot. He can have all the plans he wants, some of which have merit, but he’s still nuts. Even a squirrel gets an acorn once in awhile. If he can’t understand what is a state right vs what is a national motto, then you better fear for your liberty. He espouses something he understands not. As a fiscal conservative, I aplaude Dr. Paul but I don’t want a nut at the helm any more than I want a socialist democrat.

        • Basil

          George W. Bush = Acorn-less Squirrel.

          Amen! Najjohn, Amen!

        • Bob in Boston

          Majjohn – to say that Ron Paul doesn’t understand Liberty is probably the most laughable statement I’ve ever heard.
          Just because Ron Paul would prefer the politicians spend their time working on stuff like the economy or the level of unemployment versus re-affirming a slogan doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand liberty. Of everyone in government right now, he is the ONLY one who understands Liberty and the constitution.
          Who do you support who supposedly supports Liberty more than Ron Paul? I’ll bet for every case where your candidate supports Liberty I can come up with 4 times where Ron Paul has actually VOTED for Liberty.
          I don’t even know who you support, but I guarantee you they don’t support the constitution and Liberty as strongly as Ron Paul does, but I’m open to being corrected if you can give me evidence. If there is someone who supports the constitution and Liberty more than Ron Paul then I’ll vote for them instead.

          • David B.

            If you support the Consitution, then you’d know there is no provision within the document that supports Congress “working on the level of employment”. That is outside Congress’ Constitutional purview. In our country, under our system of government, employment is determined by free markets operating in a capitalist economic system. The fact the Congress has inserted itself into that system to the extent that it has is what is causing our problems we’re experiencing now.

          • http://JohnGalt.Princeton@gmail.com John Galt

            To Bob in Boston:
            That is not what Majjon said. He said that “…you better fear for your liberty.” and I must say I see his point.

        • Brady Kohuth

          Ron Paul follows the Constitution,period.If you don’t understand that,then you are nuts.By the way,what is a “fiscal conservative”.

    • Michael

      Is he so into states’ rights that he forgets this is the nation’s motto. I am about to agree with people who call him a bit whacko.

      • icetrout

        More like a self-serving a-hole like the rest of the politicians in this country! If your not an Independent than your a fool.

        • frank stewart

          does smartness run in your family , We already have way too many federal laws .

          • Mary

            Yes, FS, we do have too many federal laws already, and every time they bring a new one to the floor for a vote we have to wonder what else is riding along with it. Not only that, but with all of the work they should be doing on more urgent issues, why do this? What was the issue they were addressing?

          • Bruno Boccagalupe

            Frank,… it is not a new law, the bill is an affirmation of a motto! But yes you’re correct we do have too many laws.

        • RMF

          Ron Paul is not presidential material by any measure that you want to apply. A waffler at the very least.

          • Keepyourpower

            @RMF I am not a supporter of Ron Paul, M.D. but one thing he is not is a waffler. No person in the last 50 years or so has been so sure of his ideals than Ron Paul. He knows his Constitution and his history.
            Waffler he is NOT!

          • Hook24

            a waffler? rotflmao…

            Ron Paul just showed how he has the courage of his convictions. He would have voted no (it would have been one of 10 out of 435) because he will not bend on what he considers core principles. And, this was unauthorized by our Constitution. Maybe you could give some examples of his waffling…you know convince me what you say is true instead of just throwing it out there like it is conventional wisdom.

          • bucknaked

            RMF, is that term waffler like a waiter at “waffle house “?
            I’m not too sure about his abilities on this one, waffle house may reject his app, ha!

          • Antonio

            A waffler? Perhaps the most moronic statement ever made.

          • Roy Trueman Jr.

            I got some swamp land in Florida to sell you! You obviously have no idea about Ron Paul that has not been planted in your head by the Lame Stream Media’s Propaganda Machine.
            Do yourself a favor and read the Constitution and listen to Ron Paul for yourself and study his history as a public servant. No one has a better record for doing what is right for We the People and the Constitution.

          • Infuriated

            Waffler? That’s not even a word! Besides, who is a better candidate? Who else has a plan to turn this country around? Who else can we trust? NOBODY!!!

          • wnettles

            Guess you would not have voted for Washington, Jefferson, or Madison, either.

          • http://none BIG KAHUNA

            Ron Paul has a REPROBATE mind. He is with out under standing. His idea is from another planet. I don’t what planet.

          • vet

            Ron Paul seems to forget the constitution says the federal govt is to defend us from enemies foreign and domestic. This is enough to disqualify him as a presidential candidate. sorry paulinistas.

          • Mick Russom

            Waffler? What the hell? The guy is consistent like an atomic clock. You may not agree with his bran of libertarian conservatism, but waffling? Sure thing, soros-boy.

          • Metalchemist

            What has Ron Paul waffeled on?
            I pay very close attention to all the canidates and Ron Paul is the one who dosen’t chance his opinion / statement as the wind blows, Contrary to most all the others.

          • Skipster

            Hey Redneck, how many democrats are gonna vote for any of the things that you listed? ….. you twit!

          • jcizarter

            Wow, we are More Than Broke. Ron Paul will be president and turn this country around. How long will he be in power? Four years, ok, then after he leaves and you robots vote one of your Big Spending Big Govt guys, then they can throw you a crumb and bring back the “In God We Trust” BS

          • The Jester

            A waffler he is. Think about it. Do you know that he has repeatedly pushed for a “Term Limits” bill? That means he supports term limits for those in Congress. Since he supports this, then why has he been in Congress for 21+ years? This makes absolutely NO SENSE to me. He should have self term-limited and moved on. By not doing so, he has shown himself to be power hungry and interested only in himself, using “It’s for the people” excuse to keep himself in office..

          • raymo

            I, like Ron Paul, am not a waffler. We are pancakists who feel as though the states should not be dictated to by those who prefer waffles.

          • Dr. Roy S. Acryin

            No, he is NOT a waffler, but he is surely uninformed on some issues.
            Iran getting nuclear weapons is NOT anywhere similar to other nations having nuclear weapons, Even the Soviet Union were rational enough not to get their butts blown off the face of the earth. Iran’s religious nuts are not rational and want world destruction and chaos so their Twelve Imam can return to spread Islam all over the world.

          • Majjohn

            Keepourpower, yes the fool does not waffle, he’s consistantly nuts!

          • rocky

            Reply to Mary who doesn’t have a “Reply” but asked a question so I am answering. Because the liberals have been attaching Christainity since their start. The last 5 years at least they have been pushing the idea of taking this motto off of our money. It’s call the death of our past and Christainity by thousand bites. Slowly but surely changing what has been the bed rock of this country. Take people from a hundred years ago who have deid and bring them to our country today and they wouldn’t know they are in America any more. Not about the physical appearance of America but about it’s core principles and how Americans takes for granted their God given right to have their faith guide their own lives and the country. It’s gone, and little votes like this one says “No it’s not”. I am proud that our congress took the time to do it.

          • Bob in Boston

            Anyone who calls Ron Paul a waffler has obviously done zero research and has no idea at all what they are talking about. There is nobody in all of government more consistent than Ron Paul, and anyone saying otherwise hasn’t looked at his voting record. If you’d like to furnish specific cases where Ron Paul has said one thing and voted a different way you are welcome, but you won’t be able to. Ron Paul is unassailable from a consistency standpoint.

        • The Wolf

          If you’re in Independent then you’re more dangerous than a liberal. An “I” means you are so deluded that you believe the country you are letting slip away can be persuaded to vote utopian, ignoring reality and casting the vote away that would have elected the lesser, mandatory of two evils, the greater evil being evil personified.

          • George

            In my lifetime, we’ve tried your way-Republican or Democrat. So, we have arrived at where we are today based on “your way”. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So, if you like where we are, keep voting as you have and you will get more of the same.

          • David

            Let me state this- honestly right now, Independant’s may be the Smartest Group alive….
            They ARE for the Country and not party… I am a Republican and I see this….
            I;m not sure exactly how you can be an Independant w/ so many issue’s to disagree with, but at the same time, I TOTALLY understand why someone would be an Independant…
            However, today, we have a Liberal party totally out of control and wanting to destry America and the American way. In this respect, there should be no choice for ANY Independant… Do you want to keep funding more then capable people on welfare and Sec 8 and ALL of the other entitlement program’s to include the “YOU have MORE then I DO” and I want your’s mentality even though most have never even worked a job…
            Hey, these Election is going to either REVIVE the TRUE America OR it is going to send us into the Communist America that these Idiot’s want…
            I was in the military during the Cold War, most of these Idiot’s weren’t even born… I remember the pics from Russia with line’s a half mile long and ALL the store had that day was bread, or pasta or whatever, THEY had NO FOOD…
            These IDIOT’S are a BUNCH of FREELOADER’S that are afraid of work….
            Almost ALL Entitlement Program’s need to end, NOW…
            Not for the TRULY Needy/Disabled. For the 20 y/o’s that are having kid’s just so they do not have to work. For the Mama’s Boy’s that are still sucking Tit from Mom and can’t leave home and be a REAL Man…
            Occupy Wall St should be about, “Kick Your Sorry ass Kids out of the House and make them Grow Up America” Make them be American’s instead of LEECHES

          • Roy Trueman Jr.

            Considering the fact that the Republican Party is just a bunch of good old boys that support the NWO and are not much better than the Dumbascraps Independent and Libertarians are looking much better. I have been a Republican all my life but I feel ashamed of being so now. Say what you will and fall for all the propaganda negative media about Ron Paul but of all the candidates there are none who can touch his stance for the Constitution or his long history. I have read a lot of negative press on the man but I am also enlightened enough to realize all the lies and propaganda flow like the Niagra. I do my own research and I have listened to many of Ron Paul’s speaches for myself. Quite often he is condemmed for his support of the Constitution and by many who call themselves Patriots and it is often because he does not support or he supports this or that. What he supports is the Constitution and a big part of it is because he is against the Federal governments involvement where it does not belong, such as in this case. Obviously the author of this article made the headline something to discredit Ron Paul trying to make him appear to be against God.
            Ron Paul is all about the Constitution and Freedom, passing such a bill is not in the confines of the authority of the Federal Government based on the Constitution. He supports state rights because it is the Constitution and it is the heart of the power of the We the People to control the Federal Government.
            I don’t know about you but I cherish my Freedom and I have and I am willing to fight for it now. Every bill that passes in the Federal Government that is outside of the Authority We the People have given is a strike against your Freedom.
            I suggest all of you that suck into the Lame Street Media’s Propaganda on Ron Paul pull your head out of your butt and read the Constitution and listen to Ron Paul for yourselves. Of all the candidates, Ron Paul is the one who most supports the Constitution and thus “We the People”. If Ron Paul makes it to President he will change our Government for the good of “We the People” moving it back towards the intended government of our forefathers. If he makes it as President there will be a lot of changes in our government that will really hurt a lot of those traitors now in control of our Government. He is the most feared candidate because he is for the Constitution as it is written and that is why he is so attacked.

            If you love Our Country, Constitution and Freedom you owe it to yourself to really get to know Ron Paul for what he is and not for what those who oppose and fear him tell you to believe.

            There are a lot of candidates out there and there are a lot of disturbing things I have heard coming out of their mouths or in their history. There are two things I hate about them, their face! Ron Paul stands firm on our Constitution, none of the others can come close to his record.

            What I don’t like about Ron Paul is that he has not taken the Constitutional stance on Obama’s lack of eligibility to run for or hold the office of President as the Constitution demands, but then again none of the other candidates have either.

          • Paul Bushay

            That’s why we need to open up our elections! We always wind up voting for what we believe to be the lesser of two evils! And I wouldn’t vote for Ron Paul if they tied me to a horse and dragged me by my balls across Death Valley in the middle of summer! He condones “apologizing for our arrogance” and he’s pro amnesty for illegal aliens! I’m on the Cain Train!

          • Shelli

            The problem (BIG) with RP is that a Libertarian style of government, although apealing to some degree, is not going to work in today’s America. If anyone really reads the founder’s words, then they would clearly understand what Adams means when he said that our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people. Only a morally upright and self responsible public can self-govern to the degree of Libertarianism. This country has gone so far beyond the pale of being able to self-govern anyting it is absolutely pathetic. We need a strong constitutional conservative that understands the measures needed to take step by step to get us back to the point of being able to consider Libertarianism. It took over a hundred years to break away from the self responsibility necessary for self-governance, it will take many years of hard, hard, continuous work to get back to a point that it is possible to consider such measures again. RP is not Presidential material, never has been and never will be. Perhaps Rand Paul will make it some day, he has far more common sense and a much better public presence than his father ever had.

          • Redneck

            Apparently “the wolf” has been out late at nite howling at the moon. Independent means you have enough sense not to vote for a canidate just because they have a “D” or “R” after their name. Independents have enough common sense to consider how a canidate acts, votes on legislation, and conducts themselves in office, or in their private life before casting his or her vote. The largest group of voters, and getting bigger each day, are the Independents. Those who support what we think is best for this country, will get this independents vote, be it respect for GOD, defense of the marriage between opposite sexes, the right of law abidding citizens to protect themselves, their family, and their property from those who won’t work because they think this world owes them something, these canidates will get my vote.

            I will never agree with any of you about having to vote for the lesser of two evils. I fell for that logic when I voted for McCain. I’ll never vote like that again. I will only vote for no evil. I am only voting for Ron Paul and Liberty. If he does not make it in the primary, I don’t give a flip. I’m gonna use the sharpie marker and write in my ballot vote of Ron Paul for President all across the front and hand it back in to the pole workers. I you all think you can sucker me into voting for another one of two party system hacks then you are wrong. I’d rather not even vote than to have to choose which person who wants to grow gov’t and enslave me should be in office.

            The time of voting for the lesser of two evils is over. Evil is evil and evil should DIE! The more they convince people like you that they have no choice, the more you feed the evil. Stop feeding it and starve it to death already.

          • Mike Dorsey

            David, Roy and Redneck. I like your comments! Give me a candidate that will return us to the Constitution, then we will have the same freedom that has made the greatest country that has ever existed in human recorded history! We all know its not a perfect world and that includes us all as well but our two parties have gravitated down the line towards 100% government, away from the anarchy end where there is absolutely no government. Our Founders had intended us to be closer to the no government end! Both parties are corrupt, although the Democrats come out on top in this department, the Republicans have done near as much damage. Personally, I think we would be better off not allowing any parties to exist as they invariably forget what the peoples intentions are and focus on how to keep themselves and their party in power. They have given us far too many laws, which just steals our freedom, while stifling our economic growth! We have diverted a long way from the original concept that has contributed so much to this country and the world. Those before us determined that our Constitution would provide us the proper path and it WORKED! We do not need to reinvent the wheel and explore ANY other human concept but stick to following what has worked and was so wisely provided. We need one party! The Constitutionalists! Let it be written that this generation saved our precious freedom from being lost, that we actually did learn from history!

          • Jacy

            I wish everyone would go to the site “Cowboybyte – today’s issue and scroll down to “Warloc” blog where he writes about George Soros and what he is doing to this country! His source is Steve Kroft (60 Minutes) who research Soros and I believe you will find that the man has funded Democrats, Some Republicans as well as we know, the MSM.

            In addition, some previous issue of the Whistleblower Magazine devoted the entire issue on Soros as well as ALL of the hundreds of organizations he funds. He is the puppeteer for Obama and controls the man. This is very frightening. Perhaps because of Soros funding the Democrat congress did not vet Obama – they did McCain! If you don’;t think we will have a problem in 2012 elections – beware. Neither Obama (Soros) will go quietly – Soros is after a one world government after he destroys this country.

            Bert – Do you really form your opinions based on one very obvious attempt to to get a knee jerk reaction from you without asking any questions? If you really want to know about Ron Paul, read what he has to say and listen to some of his Youtube videos. Ron Paul doesn’t demagogue issues like the questioner above nor does he try to deceive. If you care about electing someone who actually models his life after Christ and walks the walk, then I would suggest Ron Paul is our only choice. At this difficult time for our nation we must all use critical thinking, ask questions, and call out those who would deceive us.

            No, Bert, he is not against God, he is not against the motto, he is against a Federal bill to enforce this. It is up to each State to do this if they deem it necessary.
            Please, people, stop hitting the roof before you clearly understand what is being said and why. If you have ever heard Ron Paul talk about his work as an obstetrician and his stance on abortion, you would know that his is not an atheist.

          • Bob in Boston

            Don’t mind Bert – he’s obviously paid to come in here and comment. Nobody could possibly be so ignorant in real life that they would not vote for someone just because they didn’t want Congress to waste time “reaffirming a slogan” rather than fixing the economy, the foreign policy, or doing something to help create jobs.
            Then again, maybe Bert IS that out of touch… After all SOMEONE had to vote for Obama in the last election!

I don’t care where they put it or if they don’t God knows the hearts of men and they are EVIL. I was thinking about voting for this guy and he pulls the no vote. Now I;ve got to think a litle harder. Shoot I’ve still got a year and I do like less Fed. Gov. (less Gov the better) We ought to be able to strap on a six shooter and walk down the street.

          I think the main reason most people, especially young people, support Paul is his stand on legalizing marijuana and other ‘recreational’ drugs. That and his middle east stand is scary to me.

          icetrout, do you mean th’e'n you’re a fool? Learn the language or we’ll sent you back! Being independent, who is your candidate or is that just another way of saying look at me and my opinion but there’s no one else to agree with me!

          • LocalYokel

            Like Ron Paul and others commenting here, knowing that you are right and standing on a constitutional truth foundation supplies the courage to offer all parties the option to agree but requires none for ideological support. The media perpetrated electability as candidate qualification is based solely on media / party bias using selected stats from past media condemned 3rd party entry results with omission of all selective opponent whitewash. The method varies little from the tax and intimidate profile used for Islamic expansion since 650. The only truth emerging from their effort is the gullibility of single information source voters satisfied in their echo agreement with others of their uninformed block and media effect on the minds in their audience that refuse to remember how they got where they are.

        • Alan Leslie

          Religion has no place in government, and that was NOT the ‘national motto’ at the beginning. The Founders were very adamant about that.

          Oh, and that’s “you’re”, not “your”.

          • UncleG

            Religion has a place everywhere. The concept of “separation of Church and State” is a fiction. All the 1st amendment says is that the government can’t tell us what to believe, how to worship, not to or to worship, and prevents churches from running the government. It DOES NOT say that faith can not be expressed by the people running the government. It also doesn’t stop the country as an nation from expressing a belief in a God.

          • R.Cook

            A response to Alan:

            Morality, in every civilization is grounded in their religion. It is a major component of the culture of a nation and can be considered the glue that holds that culture together. Without that glue, the state becomes the authority as to what the culture will be or how it will evolve. Historically, the corruption of a culture, in the absence of a belief in unalienable rights, granted by a power higher than the state, has been the downfall of many nations.
            The choice every society has had to make at some point in their history is whether to follow the concepts of their religious heritage or become subservient to the state. Judeo Christian ideology has survived for over 2,000 years. How long can we survive as a nation if we abandon our heritage?
            The following are quotations from several of our statesmen from the past. They are much more eloquent than I so I will let them speak in my stead.

            George Washington:
            “…While just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion affords to government its surest support.”
            In a letter to the Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church of North America Oct. 9, 1789
            “And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be attained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
            In his farewell address, Sept 19, 1796
            John Adams:
            “Religion always has been and always will govern mankind. Man is constitutionally, essentially and unchangeably a religious animal. Neither philosophers or politicians can ever govern him in any other way.”
            and
            “I will not condescend to employ the word Toleration. I assert that unlimited freedom of religion, consistent with morals and property, is essential to the progress of society and the amelioration of the condition of mankind.”
            Both to Francis Van der Kemp, Oct 2, 1818
            Harry S, Truman:
            “But all of us—at home, at war, wherever we may be—are within reach of God’s love and power. We can all pray. We should all pray.”
            Dec., 24, 1950, during the dedication of the national Christmas tree.
            Thomas Jefferson:
            “I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
            Letter to Benjamin Rush Sept. 23, 1800
            “The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.”
            From the View of Rights of British America, 1774
            Daniel Webster:
            “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.”
            The Writings and Speeches of Daniel Webster June 3, 1834
            Ronald Reagan:
            “The Founding Fathers derived their principles of limited government from the belief in natural law, that is, the concept that our Creator had ordained a framework for society giving great importance to individual freedom, expression and responsibility. They held that each person had certain natural rights bestowed on him by God.”
            Proclamation 5003, Dec, 10, 1982
            Amen to all of the above!
            God Bless you all. R. D. Cook

          • Pogo Del Nuit

            Alan, not only are you wrong about religion in the government but you misquote the national understanding of a nation founded on religious edicts and religious freedoms. The Founding Fathers have throughout their writings supported the religion of man and his worship of GOD. You can’t keep that out of government if your entire Constitution and Laws of the land are predicated on the law of GOD and religion.

            The National Motto means nothing to me in terms of who created it but rather the application of the motto to the nation and the world. To me, the National Motto of “In GOD We Trust” is not an affront to anyone but rather an open expression of what this nation stands for and how we view the world and those people around us.

            The Founding Fathers sought religious freedom from the Crown because the Crown was the deciding factor on what church would be the Church of England and therefore the Church of the English People. This is the most prevalent factor for relocating to American Soil. The second factor was no doubt opportunity to grow economically and financially as a nation and as a people. England was if you remember still populating their jails with debtors. If you missed a payment you could find yourself in a Pig Sty called a cell or jail.

        • Pogo Del Nuit

          Icetrout, I agree with your assessment of the political situation. It is difficult to remain in touch with either party because they are so far out on a myriad of issues. They speak out of both sides of their mouths at the same time in an attempt to “PLEASE” everyone listening. Only Obama can do that with a degree of success.

          I have had my fill of both parties and their self dedicated drive. Not one seems to be totally concerned with the issues that are affecting the nation and the people. They are still listening to the small, minority special groups. Listen to the whole of the nation and not a segregated group with little or no clout but loud noise makers.

          We can only hope that an Independent comes along without the party baggage and can win an election so that there can be TRUE change.

        • Nanna Gail

          usfrog: I think he needs to get with the program. If he is not against the “motto”, which by the way IS the National Motto, then there is no reason he should be gainst the “reaffirmation”. I believe the reaffirmation was a necessity and having it passed will at least tell obama that “We the People” will not give up without a fight, to keep our Constitution and ur country in tact. Personally, I am prepared to give my life, if it comes to that point.

          • Stephen Ray Hale

            I think it is something about having this motto in the schools and that IS states right material. As far as Federal stuff is concerned, I know he has no problem with it. But actually, in the utopia range, in that we are so far down in the toilet I will not see the rim again, NO government should be involved in educating our young…look at me being government educated. I had to relearn stuff AFTER I graduated from nine years of college (Two BS degrees…not the high tower to PhD). Good thing when you get to the point in order to learn something you have to forget something.

            I hate to tell you but if very many people vote third party Obama will still be sitting in the White House. I, for one, will vote for anyone on the republican line even if I have to hold my nose than vote in order to give BO the boot. So think twice before you vote.

          • Carolyn Wu

            Skipper,

            I will not choose between the lesser of two evils. Evil is as evil does. Think twice about voting Republican just so that Obama doesn’t get elected. That kind of thinking got us the Bush father and son (both of whom are so left-wing they should be forced to join the Democratic party!). The only two genuine conservatives even nominated by the Republicans over the past half century are Goldwater and Reagan. Honestly, I would rather have Obama in the White House than a Romney or a Perry any day because at least Obama doesn’t hide that he’s a big government type!

            Right now, I see only two saviors and possible a third who I could vote for: Ron Paul, Michelle Bauchman, and (possibly) Herman Cain. Everyone else is a lousy excuse for a conservative and, in fact, some (like Romney) should be kicked out of the party because they are Democrats in Republican clothing!

          • http://Wrongplaceatthewrongtime!! Robert from Texas

            Sir; that will b a vote for Maobama. Paul is not being attacked for his support of the constitution; he is being attacked for his dumb statements & no foreign policy plus he is a Libertarian. This guy has stated he doesn’t care if Iran gets a nuclear bomb What!!! That is moronic. We are being overwhelmed daily now with muslims & sharia law & he says we need to ‘get over our phobia that they hate us’!! Duh!!! I hope u understand now why he is n single digits & will stay that way.

            All you RINO’s and your Ron Paul bashing are setting yourselves up for disaster if you want rid of the current traitor in chief. If the RNC persists in the sabotage of the greatest example of grass root populism in American history, they will rightly reap the whirlwind of a continuing nightmare at the hands of the Kenyan(?) Malcom X scion(?) cypher esconced as our figurehead for the NWO agenda, and here’s why:
            If Ron Paul is successfully blackballed again, there’s a good chance he’ll run on a third party ticket, possibly with Jesse Ventura, and the vast majority of folks who have invested their hard earned donations in the idea of his candidacy will vote for him in spite of the chance that it may bestow O’what’s-his-name a second term. After all, they already know that, demican or republicrat, you’re going to get a shill for the collectivist totalitarian eugenecist agenda.
            So there you have it. If you jerks insist on forcing this crap down America’s throat you’ll certainly get what’s coming to you. Oh, and by the way, something tells me that, unhindered by the constraints running as a republican entails, Dr. Paul likely will feel free to begin to mention obvious treasonous GOP behaviors such as war crimes, 9/11, fast and furious, Enron, the threatening and murdering of a certain U.S. senator, etc., etc., etc.
            And don’t think killing him will be a way out of this mess. I know, for myself and probably a majority of his supporters, that should such an event occur, The last thing We The People would be fooled into doing would be to reward the murderers of our dream with political power, so ponder, and choose wisely, as if your life depends on it, because it does.

            You sound like a Democrat to me, anybody that would vote for the current POTUS is not only a fool but I consider a Traitor as well.

            I served for six years in the USAF during the last part of Vietnam and the only other President that came close to Obama in destroying our way of life is Jimmy Carter.

            The two worst Presidents in this countries history so far is #1 Obama, #2 Jimmy Carter, #3 L.B. Johnson. Notice they are all Democrats.

            I don’t think you have a clue as to what Mitt Romney is or what he stands for, you obviously let the liberal media do your thinking.

          • Redneck

            That’s one sure way to re-elect Obama!!!!! Liberals will vote for this liberal in the W.H. no matter who runs against him. Split the rest of the votes and we’ll have 4 more years of mis-leading.

          • Skipster

            Antonio,
            Ah, false conservatives? The problem with Paul is not enough people will vote for him in the primary so there is no way he can win the nomination. If he goes the Ross Perot route and starts a 3rd party, he will draw just enough votes away from the nominated primary winner to throw the election to Obama. If you vote for this 3rd party candidate, you and your “Pauliban” ilk will be the only reason Obama will win. Think this through before you do something suicidal for all of us. We are not your enemy………yet.
            We will NOT forget!

            Antonio, (and otyhers), ………….. and “IF” Ron Paul is STUPID enough to run on a Third Party Ticket, all he will accomplish is splitting the vote with the Republican Nominee and guess what that will get us, ………. We get to endure 4 more years of Obummer madness again. Now PLEASE explain to me how that is going to give us ANY chance to ever recover from this mess we’re in. If Ron Paul gets the Republican Nomination, I will vote for him, only because ANYONE would be better than Obummer. Otherwise, he needs to stay right in the office he now holds because he can do far more good there than he will ever be able to accomplish as President.

            Europe cannot take over the role that the USA has, and which is essential to freedom around the world.
            In no oppressed country do people yearn to be freed by China or Russia (even tho that country is now allegedly “free and democratic”!
            The BBC and Voice of America are the bits of those countries that are really valuable.
            Due to the world economic mess, there are now calls for reducing the armed forces.
            THAT helped to encourage Hitler in the 1930s, (in a similar depression)!!
            The USA needs to return to how the USA was able to post our forces where they were needed as a deterrent!!

            IF we ALL [who don’t want a 2nd term for obummer will VOTE for WHOEVER is selected as the Republican nominee, then we will GUARANTEE obummer to be a one-termer.

            I’m a Texan and have “watched” Paul’s crazy Libertarian antics for years, and as others have commented, he IS SCARY!!!!!

            I do not think Oblama should be a choice for anything except a long jail sentence.
            To the gent who said America tried to stay out of the mess in WWII needs to read US History with a closer view. America (Roosevelt) wanted in the war. He needed the war as an excuse to become the leader of the new world government. At that point in time he could have garnered the clout to do just that. We as a nation starved Japan by withholding resources they desperately needed to continue their production of products(not war materials). The biggest starvation came in the form of oil and gas. Japan was an island nation that had little or no natural resources so they had to import all their raw materials.

            Oblama has never been a good source of anything. The man has no history and no experience and the nation of stupid people ran after him like the rats after the Pied Piper of Fairy Tales. You who voted for him have exactly what you asked for, enjoy it while it lasts.

        • Louis

          Luke,
          Surely you understand by now that Ron Paul is no isolationist as the media wishes to portray him. I am sure you have looked well into his ideology and have concluded that it is a smear to label him as such. You are very aware also of his view not to reduce the military. This is another smear that the media (think republicanism via Fox) wants good people like yourself to think. He believes, as is Newt and other republicans, that imperialism is the agenda of these last few administrations; pre-emptive war, if you will. I am sure you would agree that the U.S. has the most technologically advanced military in the world and is very capable of defending our borders here at home, so long as we protect our border and have our troops here to man those high tech weapons. Maybe people should listen to Ron Paul owns words as well and watch his own actions and not depend so much on the media who does the thinking for us.
          Blessings dear sir,
          Louis

          • comsense08

            You forget one HUGE thing! We (America) IMPORT most of our raw materials. So, we pull back, protect our boarders, keep the bad guys out, but how the hell are you going to get the materials you need for America to function? Come on folks, we HAVE to exist in a global climate. God has blessed this nation with wisdom, freedom and insite (well, up till the last three years). We have a responsibility to be present in the world, not hiding out in our closet hoping nobody messes with us. That mind set sure didn’t keep Japan from bombing us into WWII did it? We tried like hell to stay out of all that mess, but guess what, it took America to turn the tide. No, hiding is not the answer.

          • http://www.realcolorwheel.com/end.htm Don Jusko

            Best post. The media was attacking Paul with the made up term “isolationist” just as conservativebyte is attacking him with this unjust headline. It’s the fact that the Government is forcing law on the States that he objects to. It was already law (1958?). I think this may have been a plot to trap Paul, knowing he would object to the Fed presumably making another law for the states and individuals to follow. Than using it against him with an unfair headline. Ron Paul will follow the Constitution, Obama won’t. In fact no other presidential contender will audit theFed, free Larkin, balance the budget or bring our troops home now.

          • James

            Honestly I would not call Ron Paul’s views right or left. I personally think his views are spaced out. Would he like to reduce the military? of course he does. He said so on one of the GOP debates. The man’s views would allow a lot of unnecessary harm around the world.

          • gg88

            Well said Louis! I wish more people would open their minds and really listen to what he says…I think most would be surprised.

          • chillydog

            possibly true but anyone who doesn’t want our way of life and our backbone beliefs to be proudly expressed to anyone who should pick up a quarter and see it, well shouldn’t be our leader…….

          • Carolyn Wu

            James,

            Of course we can (and must) reduce the military. We are fighting two illegal wars! End the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and we can EASILY reduce the military budget while causing any harm whatsoever. When you enter a war, the military budget automatically has to increase. When you end a war, it ought to decrease since we should stop deploying our national guard reserves so much. Bring the troops home!

          • http://Wrongplaceatthewrongtime!! Robert from Texas

            Louis; I listened 2 him real well n the 1st debate. That is why he is n single digits in the polls & will stay there. Maybe u should listen to him instead of reading his propaganda websites.

          • http://Wrongplaceatthewrongtime!! Robert from Texas

            To comsense 08; Sir; I think u r very mis-informed. What raw materials do we have to import? We have more natural resources than any country n the world. We do not need anyone. Isolationism will work fine. We were attacked by Japan because we totally de-mobilized after WW I. We r prepared now & no one in the world would r can attack us now. They could not afford the consequences. I guess that makes me an isolationist but it makes u a globalist.

          • Andy

            @ carolyn wu; Iraq is not an illegal war. Sadam Hussain signed a cease-fire in 1991 that allowed U.N. weapons inspectors to conduct searches in Iraq and in exchange we left Iraq. When Hussain kicked the U.N. inspectors out of Iraq he was in direct violation of the cease fire , therefore his actions were rightfully seen as an act of war.

            You may or may not remember that we were in Iraq in 1991 because Iraq decided to invade and take over the country of Kuwait and they asked for our help to get their country back.

          • Pappy

            Carolyn Wu;

            You must be a democrat also, why don’t you look at our history if you think that reducing the military won’t have any negative consequences.

            World War I caught us flat footed with a poorly equipped military and virtually no aircraft while the other combatants had up-to-date aircraft for the time.

            What happened after WWI, we disarmed and the nation went back to sleep. Billy Mitchel was court martialed because he tried to get the higher ups to pull their heads out of their liberal brown nosing asses and wake up to the facts.

            We were attacked by Japan not because of our strong military but because of our WEAK military. Again, what happened after WW!!, another disarmament brought about by liberals in our government trying to save money. Did someone say Korea? Did someone then say Vietnam?

            How did we win the cold war with the Soviet Union, by reducing our military spending? HELL NO, President Reagan started rebuilding the military, after that no good liberal democrat, Jimmy Carter wrecked it. President Regan out spent the Soviet Union and bankrupted them!

            With the current sad state of our country and the massive numbers of liberals like you running things, I am glad that I have provisions and means to protect my self from people like you and the coming calamities. i

            You and yours better hope that we get a good conservative President in office and then work like hell to get this country back on track before you liberals take it so far down that there will be no return. Because if that happens, I promise you types will be the first to go!

          • Bill Roderick

            Sorry, but the Media does not have to smear Ron Paul for being an isolationist. I have watched all of the Repuclican debates , he has done a fine job on his own stating his position on foreign affairs: he has no clue!

          • Judy

            Lewis
            You are finally someone who makes some sense. Most of the people out there believe everything they see and hear on the news etc. They can’t even think for theirselves anymore. People who are reading this, please take the time to really find out what Ron Paul stands for… I haven’t made up my mind yet as to who I will vote for but at this time from what I have looked up for myself, not the News Media Etc. I will pick Ron Paul every time..
            May God Bless Our Nation and Give us the Intelligence to chose the Right Person to Lead Out Nation and Protect Our Constitution.

            @Andy

            So what you are saying is that we should take our orders from the U.N. and not our own constitution? The Iraq war is an illegal war in that it is not declared by the congress. If the UN had asked us to go to war we then should have gotten approval from congress. The war was a terrible idea, more Americans have died and many are being severely injured both physically and mentally.

            I don’t know why you guys insist that these wars are protecting us, when we are only losing money, men, and sanity. I have a few friends that served and the effects on their psyche is not something that I want happening to others.

          • Virginia

            You sir, sound like a democrat! Your “talking points”, are very apparent! Of course, you want them to vote independent! Then your slave master Obummer can reap the benefits of another term.

        • JayLo

          Ron Paul is not “Isolationist”. He does not believe in undeclared wars or nation-building. He does believe in trading with other nations and having mutually beneficial relationships with them. He knows that we cannot afford to be an Empire and that our troops should be defending our shores, not scattered all over the world. He does not “want” Iran to have nuclear weapons but he does not believe they will commit national suicide by using them or passing them to terrorists because it will be clear from whence they came. It gets old hearing people mis-quote Congressman Paul and I wish they would listen carefully to what he says instead of repeating the lamestream media’s BS.

        • RMF

          Right on.

        • Hook24

          He is not an isolationist. He believes in free and open trade. How can someone who believes this way be considered an isolationist? He isn’t a war monger. And, if you think we are serving our national interests by being engaged in so many wars, and the nation building that follows, I would like to know how America’s interests are being served.

        • Robin

          I you were paying attention to what he says instead of what the media spoon feeds you. You would know he is not talking about cutting the military. He is talking about cutting our intervention around the world. Stop nation building and concentrate on DEFENSE ! There is a big difference in cutting and not wasting. Do we really need to maintain over 700 military bases in over 130 countries? Well guess what? Even if you think so we can’t afford it and will fall like Rome if we continue. So think about who has the best interest in mind countries national security. intere

          • James

            Robin— The only reason we cannot afford it is because of Obama’s and the democrats failed policies.

        • Chad

          And why do we need a larger military budget “now the Most”? Are we being invaded? Are we expecting a large scale attack of our Country? Even with all of our diplomatic invasions of other countries, we still have forces to spare. I am a proud war Vet and believe in a strong military but, I know we have enough already and I’v seen the waste.

          With the crisis our country is in right now our representatives have nothing better to do than work on Motto Bills? Talk about last ditch media grabing!
          p.s. I amagine he wasn’t there to vote because… he didn’t want to play their games.

          • Charlotte Juett

            Chad, how right you are. Ron Paul is the one member of congress who never plays games with our money and tells us the truth, whether it tastes good or not.

          • Bill Roderick

            Do you pay for a fire department because your house is on fire? NO, you pay for in case your house catches fire so they can save it. Same idea for the U.S. military!

          • Good god, you’re all insane

            Bill, that has nothing to do with the Military, you stupid baboon.

            Nobody is talking about getting rid of the Military. it’s called cutting it back to 2007 levels for god sakes you gun wielding neo-con nut.

            We could cut our military by almost 50% and still pay more than China and Russia.

            You idiots need to move out of this country, I’m sick of your crap.

          • loub

            with all the attempts now being made to introduce sharia law into the country and all the assaults on religious symbols reaffirming the motto makes sense to me even if it is political grandstanding ron pauls excuse about the states rights is just a copout. just look in your pocket or wallet for the biggest use of the motto, the trillions of coins and currency in circulation. if the motto is ever removed from even one coin we are in trouble and will be bowing to mecca 6 times a day. that said however if rp is the nominee i will vote for him bercause the republican nominee HAS TO WIN

        • Tim

          Perfectly said!

        • Colram

          Isolationism – Separating yourself or a country from everything.
          Non-interventionism – Political rulers should avoid entangling alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to self-defense.

          I hope that you can understand the difference. Check out this Defense Science Board Task Force report, http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports/ADA428770.pdf, and you’ll see that the United States Department of Defense (our military) agrees with Ron Paul. Check out especially pages starting at 39.

        • Polly Pocket

          Luke, I know Paul believes in what he is saying. but I believe he has read the Constitution and interpeted it as he wants it to be. Anyone who thinks we can deplete out military, bring all troops home from all bases and not worry about Iran is delusional. He is not Presidental material. He is better served as a Doctor.
          I think Newt Gingrich is the man. He knows foreign policy, knows our history, knows the economic issues and has good answers. He would wipe the floor up with Obama in a debate.

          • LocalYokel

            Does a candidate’s remaining silent after experiencing affiliations with international organizations and their common agenda, or observing government oversight / business corruption, TV media / political party-candidate bias, and a hundred years of unconstitutional taxation and banking legislation qualify them to be electable? Is it that they are yet unaware of the continuous corruption in every branch and agency now finally emerging its treasonous head following the lead of a POTUS and Senate’s .
            belligerent allegiance to national destruction?
            After being neck deep in the stench for many terms how many are making waves in the big cesspool called media / government? If free internet unfiltered self education has not provided them with the right questions, perhaps they don’t feel any need to rock the boat and risk being just another sacrificial goat of concocted accusations and media directed slanderous production without any guarantee from a Screen Actors Guild.
            Political parties were only created to collect funds and brainwash potential voters with the assistance of subverted editors and MSM’s provocative cast of legally trained commentators with airbrushed angel faces bearing subtle but effective innuendos of half truth condemnation often laced with outright lies.
            Perhaps those party loyalists demanding another candidate selected by media directed live stage performance rather than one offering constitutionally provided historically proven cures deserve yet another trained debater to further their education to its apogee of truth when they can neither stand and be counted nor dare to voice contrary opinion. It should be in order to compose an epilogue for their tombstones explaining why they refused to stand while they could. They may deserve what they get but the next generation does not.

        • SamFox

          Luke D, you are a prime example of those who say things about Ron Paul you have no knowledge of. People like you are the truly dangerous because of your lack of research. People like you will get us 0. 0 if the form of 0 himself or in Romney, Gingrich, Perry & more than likely Cain or Bachmann.

          Anybody but Bush got us 0. Anybody but 0 will get us another 0 if you don’t do a better job of researching the candidates. I am beginning to think Conservative Byte is a CINO operation. The way they worded their opening is VERY disingenuous & deceptive.

          If people like you were paying attention, you would know that if the Fed govt gets a foot in the door sooner or later they break all the way through. That’s what this bill does, gives Fed Gov another foot in another door where it does not belong. If what they wanted to do about the motto was Constitutional Ron would vote for it, simple as that.

          What has happened is you & others were HAD!! You were SUCKERED by an emotional twinge that came from the way the lead story was phrased & you knee jerk reacted based on misinformed patriotism based o=n feelings, not knowledge. If you will please look, you will find there was no in depth coverage by Con Bye on WHY Ron said that he did not like the bill.

          Ron is a Christian. You probably didn’t know that because: A. Lack of research. B. Ron doesn’t wave his faith around in public to pander for votes. C. You work for Media Matters & are a paid troll. I have faith in you & put my $ on A & B.

          Ron’s views on isolationism? He is not for it. If you knew what you were talking about you would know Ron has the SAME foreign policy as our Founders. Were they isolationists?

          Military cuts. Again you did no checking. If you had bothered to look instead of taking some one else’s word you would know that Ron says there is a diff between ‘military’ spending & ‘defense’ spending.

          ‘Military’, he says, is the $ spent on building & rebuilding stuff in other countries, policing their borders, paying for the logistic cost of undeclared wars & ‘adventures’ abroad…[Do you know what the military industrial complex is? What they are up to with all the undeclared wars?] that defense to him means paying our troops, TAKING CARE OF OUR VETS, especially the wounded for life people, their families when they are away, their food, clothing, medical, weapons, weapon systems…

          After all, like you said, Ron Paul is a vet.

          If any one out there in cyber land wants to save the USA from the NWO & their socialist attack via many of OUR OWN ELECTED OFFICIALS,
          liberal media, the ‘progressive’ movement & the ‘Fed’, PLEASE!!!! Do better research on Ron Paul!!

            Thank U Mr. Fox!
            Iknew if Iexamined enough of these posts that I would
            come across one matching my thoughts on Ron Paul.
            I suppose if I were more proficient at operating this PC,
            possibly my rant would have been similar to yours. You
            did an excellent job as far as you went; however, and
            perhaps you will consider my addition(s) part of or an
            addenda to your comments.
            1) Ron Paul could never be as bad as Obama because
            he has stated he will follow the Constitution !
            2) Since he will follow the Constitution, he can not and
            will not lead us into the present abyss.
            3) If all the people who are “independants”, as well as
            believers in our Constitution would vote for Ron Paul, he
            would beat both Obama & the Republican nominee by
            thousands of votes.
            4) I’m almost 80 yrs. old and I’ve been waiting a long
            time for an AMERICAN who truly believes in our type
            of constitutional government, and is willing to run for the
            office of President of the UNITED STATES simply because he loves his country!!
            If one thinks or assumes he is “risking” something by
            voting for a candidate who may _loose, then I say to that
            voter “you are a coward” and don’t deserve the right to
            suffrage in the first-place. Where in the name of God would we be if the Founding Fathers felt likewise!

        • CJ

          He’s NOT an isolationist!! It’a called non-intervention.

        • Cantankerus

          Luke, you expressed my views of the man exactly, almost word for word that I told a good friend of mine last week. (Unfortunately, I doubt that I changed his unbridled support for Ron Paul), but I sure tried.

        • Mike88

          Luke Dubya, and everybody else on here who are critizing Ron Paul for his Libertarian views stop and think just for one little moment about how both the Republican and the Democratic Socialists Parties of America have worked so well together to destroy our once great nation. They both have worked together to create a welfare, warfare nation, they both have systematically helped in bankrupting this nation, they have both worked to remove our Rights granted to us not just in our Constitution but our Humanity as well. Both Party beliefs Republican and Democratic Socialists alike always take power or authority away from the people and give it to themselves, both parties have worked together to create the Big Government Party just 2 sides of the same coin, and finally both parties havce worked together to create laws, rules, regulations, that totally disrespect the rights of the American people to make their one decisions about their own lives on the Federal State and local level of Government.
          So I ask you what would be wrong with having Libertarian viewpoints established in our nation again. Do anything you want as long as it doesn’t harm or cause harm to anybody else, buy and consume whatever you want in the privacy of your own home, protect and defend yourself only when being attacked, invade no nation, trade with all nations align with none, don’t get involved with other nations squabbles.
          These are the view points and freedoms that have made this nation great from our very beginning, these are the same viewpoints expressed by our founding fathers, and you people on here are condemning Ron Paul for believing in those Libertarian viewpoints. Everything Ron Paul believes in is founded in our Origional Constitution, yet many of you seem to dislike our origional Constitution and the beliefs therein ,or have just been educated not to think for yourselves and folllow the Media like a bunch of Sheeple.

          Ron Paul is the only candidate running for President that can and will restore our nation, the rest of the allegedly Conservative candidates on the Republican side are just paying lip-service just to keep the people confused and to keep the status-quo in place from now until eternity.
          If this status-quo is what you want then yes, by all means, vote for anybody but Obama, and Obama himself as well, but if you want real change to the way our government operates, if you want the government to begin the process of actually abiding by our Constitution, if you want a return to our Constitutional Republian form of Government, if you want government to actually respect the will of the people then please put your petty differences aside and all come together to put a real statesman into the White House in 2012. That Statesman is none other than Ron Paul.

      • Doris Carman

        I oppose Ron Paul giving in to another liberal plan. The states have never said they didnt like this motto. Or did they?

        • Louis

          Doris,
          It is on liberal plan to allow the states the right to determine their own soverignty. Paul in no way opposes the motto.

            Right, I get so tired of these talking head attacking Paul while they are the ones that are wrong.

        • Hook24

          If a State wishes to adopt this slogan, they are free to do so, and I am sure Ron Paul would echo these words. It isn’t the business of the Congress to create such a motto for all of us to live under. There is no authorization in the Constitution for this. It is a State issue not a national issue. That is why he would have voted no.

      • Karen

        He is nuts! He has been in congress too blasted long. He has forgotten what this country was. He has some good ideas. But has been in congress for 30 plus years. Why didn’t he get some of this done then, he had everything but the bully pulpit for a lot of years.. I am afraid this person will run as a 3rd party canidate and elect Obama for another term.And is so non bending he would let Obama win just to prove a point. WRONG. This country can not afford another 4 years of obama and his policies.

      • Travis

        “a bit wacko” is a little kind

        • Hook24

          Perhaps you could elaborate. Just saying someone is a bit wacko doesn’t make it so. If you have substantive reasons why you think this way, you should share them. Just calling someone a name is a pretty shallow argument for any cause. Ron Paul is about ideas like Liberty, Peace, Honest Money, living by The Constitution. If you think these are wacko ideas, then I would be interested in knowing why you think that way.

      • carol McSwain

        Yep! I would agree, whacko is the word!

        • Hook24

          Ron Paul is about ideas like Liberty, Peace, Honest Money, government living by The Constitution. If you think these are wacko ideas, then I would be interested in knowing why you think that way. Freedom or Liberty was the main rallying cry for those who fought to liberate the 13 colonies from the tyrannical rule of England. Maybe you were rooting for the British. Peace means to live and let live. Certainly we must maintain a strong defense against those who would attack us, but lately it has been America who has attacked first (Iraq, Pakistan drone attacks, Lybia…), and now we are threatening Iran. These wars are wacko ideas. The money spent on them is strangling our economy because it isn’t being spent here. Honest money…maybe you think it is okay for the Federal Reserve to create out of thin air all the money it needs to bail out fat cat bankers who have gambled unwisely and face bankruptcy. Personally I think it is insane to have a central bank with this much power over our lives and we have no way to even know what they are doing except for the struggles by Ron Paul to have them audited. Nothing wacko here, if anything Ron Paul should be saluted for his courage and integrity in this one man fight. And then there is government living by the Constitution. Wow, if you think this is wacko maybe Ron Paul’s campaign is a lost cause.

      • ED W

            You’re right Robin. This country is upside down. But no politician including Ron Paul is going to straighten it out. Only when the nation gets back on the same page with God will our troubles begin to vanish.

        • Potawatomi13

          I am not insecure in my faith. However the problem here is that these comments have mostly gotten away from the real issue and this is exactly the Devils most effective way of destroying mens souls: to get us off on some peripheral issue.
          The Whole issue is In God We Trust. Our country was founded a Christian Republic and our number one job is to RESPECT Almighty God. To trample on the feet and insult the liberals, atheists and aclu is just a really great secondary result but it needs to get done. Those fools must be put back in their place.
          Getting sidetracked by either supporting Mr Paul or denigrating him is NOT the real issue here. Almighty God is number one and we should make sure that the world as well as obama knows this is where WE stand.

        • SamFox

          Well ed, if Ron has shot himself in the foot, you have shot yourself in the head. It is painfully obvious that you & the others who nay say Dr. Paul have not done much looking at his 30+ year PRO-Constitution voting record & platform. Or researched his stances & why he takes them & how they relate to the Constitution & Framer’s intent.

          That you would so easily dismiss a man who is the best hope for a return of the US Constitution as the true law of the land based on this small topic of low import…I have to conclude you have no clue.

          Well, may it is not of such low import. After all, you SHOULD know by now that give the gov an inch…what they take next? You DO know that, don’t you????

          SamFox

      • Gary

        I agree with him. With all the problems we currently have in this country, this is a worthless bill that is taking time away from those bills that are really import. This is also a another case where the Federal Government is telling the States what to do. That is part of the problem, The Federal Government getting involved into areas it doesn’t need to get involved with.

      • Carlos Ramirez

        I fully agree with you

      • ruth

        yea, he is a wacko.

        • Hook24

          Why do you think that? Did someone tell you to think this way? Is this your own opinion formed from personal research into Ron Paul the man? Or is it just a knee jerk reaction to something you don’t understand well enough to know you are on the wrong side. Freedom is the absence of coercion. When Congress issues an edict like this, it coerces us to consent. Freedom, albeit a small part of freedom, but freedom all the same, is destroyed. States have the power to enact such legislation, but Congress does not.

          They crucified Jesus too…he was their savior but they didn’t understand his message well enough. Ron Paul isn’t Jesus, but until you really understand what he stands for you should back off of your criticism. It makes you seem…well…kind of like a wacko.

      • cowgirl

        Michael, I do hope that you agree that Ron Paul is whacko. He is no good and would hurt us as President rather than help us. He is a liberal in disguise. I sure wish more people would see that. I hope that by the time the primaries are held, enough people will see that and he will be out. Although he would be better than odumbo, he would not be good.

          I would suggest you do some research on Ron Paul before you call him a liberal. I can’t even believe you said that?

        • Colram

          It’s interesting that none of you anti-Paul folks can do better than repeat the tired ‘wacko’ line. Or that ‘isolationist’ line that only shows that you don’t know the definition of the word. How about providing a detail or two about just what you feel is ‘wacko’? I promise you that I can provide irrefutable evidence that you wrong on every point.

          Don’t forget to accuse Ron of being a racist. That one is always good for a laugh & very easy to refute. So is the ‘isolationist’ label.

            SamFox: I will take your challenge that Ron Paul is a racist and raise you…Ron Paul is an Anti-Semite as well!!! From ConservativeBytes an article by John Hawkins…”In a 1992 political newsletter, he highlighted portrayals of blacks as inclined toward crime and lacking sense about top political issues. He also said that Blacks weren’t intelligent enough to do complex embezzling crimes. Only whites and Asians do those types of crimes.” That sounds like something David Duke the Imperial Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan would say.
            If his Neo Nazi supporters like Texe Marrs are any indication Ron Paul is an Anti-Semite as well!!!!
            So, Ron Paul is indeed a racist!!! All that said, I would still hold my nose and vote for him if he was the Republican nominee just to get Obamanation out of the White House!!! Ron Paul and his supporters are the very definition of RINO’s (Republicans In Name Only). They would rather see the U.S. destroyed under 4 more years of Obama than vote for a REAL Conservative for President whether it be Perry, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum or even Huntsman!!!!

        He must be one of those, political correct people that feels it offends the atheist. Sick. Our Country was founded with this motto.

        • Carolyn Wu

          Um, no, the country WASN’T founded with the motto. Samuel Chase (Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln) was the first to use the motto and we didn’t adopt it as the US motto until 1956 under Eisenhower.

          Please understand the Paul position before you call him politically correct or worried about offending atheists. He is definitely NOT politically correct and couldn’t care a flying leap about the atheists. He asks merely where is the constitutional authority for the feds to impose this motto on the states. Hint: there is none. Listen, there are MANY worthwhile things that exist in this world but the federal government is limited to only its enumerated powers. Read the 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

          What this means is: if it isn’t an enumerated power listed explicitly in the Constitution, the feds CAN’T do it. No matter how nice it might be, they can’t do it! If you think otherwise, show me where in the Constitution it says that they can impose a motto on the states.

          Now the states can all agree to adopt the motto (and I would hope that they all would) because this is not prohibited to the states by the US Constitution. Indeed, anything not explicitly prohibited to the states under the US Constitition (same deal: show me where it says that the states CANNOT adopt mottos in the US Constitution–again, you cannot find such a clause) is automatically within the purview of the states. Anything not listed as a power of the US government and not prohibited to the states is reserved for the people and thus government cannot do it at all.

        No he has not forgotten our National Motto! He has not forgotten the Constitution either. He is not opposed to the motto, he is opposed to the Federal Government overstepping its authority we have given it and bills that strip away our Freedoms. The problem will not be solved by this bill but our freedoms will be affected. It is Ron Paul’s stance on defending Our Constitution and Freedoms that is always taken out of context and used to hammer him with such terms as Wacko! Ask yourself why the Lame Stream Media and so many are against him. I feel it is because they fear him and what he will do if elected to put things back in order, so many of them will be impacted and will find it hard to get away with all they do now.

        When the enemy fears someone so much that they do such a hack job on him to such a degree it is probably because he is against all the corruption and violations of the Constitution and for We the People and our Freedoms. A few quotes and most often out of context and slanted against him is hardly anything to judge him on. Read the Constitution and listen to his speeches for yourselves, quit being such a Media Propaganda sucker.

          • Mike88

            Samfox you are a very well informed person, and I applaud you for you intelligence, forethought of doing your own research and belief in Ron Paul.
            Yes, I agree with Ron Paul and what he stands for as well. It is so painfully obvious that even a child could understand and see that both of the Republican and Democratic Socialists Parties here in have worked hard to create and enact Bills and Laws that remove our Rights and Freedoms secretly behind closed doors and out of the public view, and without the Consent of the Governed I might add, with the help or aid of the MSM by not doing their jobs and not reporting on those intrusions of our Rights and Freedoms , and by being the lapdogs or mouthpieces for the government.

            Our own government at the Federal, State and Local level have actually become traitors to the people, and have become our own worst enemies. Only one candidate for President wants to work hard to restore our nation, to end the Status-quo of the way government grows and operates. Only one man has the courage to take on the establishment and make a real change that will actually benefit the people instead of the government.
            That man is Ron Paul. Congressman and Statesman. It takes guts and courage to face the evil that our government has become, and Ron Paul is the only man in Congress that has that kind of courage. We need many more Ron Pauls to turn our nation around and correct the corruptness that has worked it’s way into the Federal State and Local government systems. I just hope that we can get enough of them in place and in time befoire our nation is lost permanently to Socialism, Communism or Marxism the way it is currently headed.

      • http://www.pappymart.com John Hanna

        In my constitution classes I learned that ‘In God We Trust’ was not so much an affirmation in what type of creator we have – although there is one even if you think it is accidental – but more so that we trust our God given abilities or natural abilities
        AS OPPOSED to those distributed by a king.
        By a king or socialist or communist or any other man made organization.
        I too am opposed to religions using government to stick their moral judgments (not saying they are wrong moral judgments) into the law and imposing their man interpreted views on all of us.
        So yes Paul is wrong (darn it!) when he says that the motto is ill advised when it means that we believe in our own natural abilities and our natural rights to claim some freedoms as innate or God given or natural.

        Everyone, including Ron Paul, should support Patriotism.. There is nothing wrong with having a National Motto, that show respect for God and Country.

          He did not say he does not support “In God we Trust” He said it should NOT be legislated by the Federal Govt.

          BIG DIFFERENCE!

          If you call that a “Senior Moment” You clearly do NOT understand the ISSUE!!!

      • MARIE

        If you think Ron Paul is “Whacko” you simply do NOT understand the issues he stands for.

        He is a true “STATESMAN”. Maybe YOU need to research what that means and what its all about.

        We ned to get back to ‘STATE’S RIGHTS” before they do not have any rights and the FED govt is telling what YOU can and CANNOT DO.

        Ron Paul understands that. If people looked deeper into issues instead of FEEDING on a mainstream Media Diet, they would see the TRUTH.

        I would bet Ron Paul believes more than MOST politicians that it’s in “GOD WE TRUST”. He just understands many things don’t need legislation by the FED GOVT.

      • James

        You’re apparently not old enough to know, “In God We Trust,” was not always our motto, or to have studied Latin in high school.

        Up until 1956 our motto was “E Pluribus Unum,” which describes an action: Many uniting into one. A literal translation of the motto is “Out of many, one” – a phrase that elegantly captures the spirit of our people.

        It is a motto of unity and cohesiveness, whereas “In God We Trust,” expresses exclusivity and division.

      • JRead

        Ccongress shall make no law! This is not confusing to me. We have a problem with the freedom found in the constitution these days. Why? We don’t understand until we face another pointless war, or s new tax or another goofie bureaucratic program, yet when we see Paul act on the things we all want, we think he is off the wall.
        This guy Paul is consistantly on the side of Freedom. What do we want, more crap?

      • C.Davis

        What we seem largely to be uninformed about on this issue is that, according to Albert Pike (freemason’s messiah), the third world war would be fought between atheists and believers in the God of the bible until, after almost complete destruction of the human race, the luciferians(high level freemasons) would then bring their god to the fore and institute him as the world’s religion. This is the “god” they’ve been referring to and we will be forced to trust according to this motto as per the current legislation.
        Our founders knew how religiosity is too easily twisted in the hands of the propagandists and the results bought into by well meaning simpletons to their own destruction. That’s why they wrote the first article of the bill of rights.
        Let me ask you something. Do you get any inkling of what your congress critters think of your intelligence by putting forth their gambit at this time in an effort to ensnare any constitutionally aware presidential candidates(only Ron Paul comes to mind) by proffering an unconstitutional resolution, knowing that only a constitutional watchdog would dare to oppose it? Hello? They think you are idiots or morons.
        The exploding awareness of Dr. Paul’s message is forcing them to strike back. Their ham-handed effort will undoubtedly ensnare those who have abdicated their God given birthright of thinking for themselves, but as for those weary of the interminable pulling-of-the-wool over their eyes, they are not amused and they are not going to stand for it anymore.
        Heavenly Father, I humbly pray for the protection of Ron Paul and this great nation for which he stands in Christ’s name, Amen

            Ok, cowgirl, where were they 25 years ago? Ten? Five?

            The only reason any one even mentions the Constitution that they have been ignoring for so long is because Ron Paul’s message is igniting a huge fire the political landscape in the USA. You won’t hear much about that at fringe stream media, but Ron is the true frontrunner & the one the big govt central planning ‘progressive’ Dem & Repub lib socialists fear the most. .

            Bachmann barely beat out Ron at a poll. How? By using Ron Paul talking points.

            Ron Paul has been doing the same thing for over 30 years. NONE of the others can touch his consistency.

            Talk is cheap. You wanna back up or shut up on what you said about Ron being a liberal in disguise.

            That fits all the candidates but Ron & Gary Johnson. You got the mouth. You got the proof to go with it??? Didn’t think so!

            You are the one who needs to wise up. All the other candidates are establishment plants. The ones most bandied about as ‘frontrunners’ are the deepest in the NWO doo. That would be Romney, Parry, Gingrich, Huntsman, & Cain. Not quite so deep are Santorum, a war hawk who knows little about foreign policy & Bachmann who voted to extend the absolutely UN-Constitutional ‘Patriot’ Act & she takes govt $ while talking against it.

            I have an idea!! You take all the names I listed & you list them. Then show us with citations where they have stood up for the Constitution & for how long. Then compare them to your ‘liberal in disguise’. I have a hunch you won’t be able to show any record of these names that even matches Ron Paul for the last five years, let alone 10, 15, 25 or 30.

            Give it a shot. I DARE YOU!!! :-) You CAN’T DO IT! NO ONE can. I am callin you out! Meet me at noon on main street. Be packin yer facts. IF you can find any!

        Seriously William,
        Ron Paul is not against that motto. He is against someone stuffing it down your throat. I hope you can understand that. He is a fine Christian. What candidate would you support that has a lifetime of protecting life from the womb and staying faithful to one woman? I think he prefers that the FED doesn’t endorse one religion over another. Because what happens if they suddenly endorse another religion other than christianity? Some see this handwriting on the wall already.

        • comsense08

          I love how liberals who know absolutely nothing about God or religion spend so much time trying to explain it to those of us who do. Haveing a motto that states this nation believes and trusts God in no way promotes a “religion”. Faith in God is just that, faith. It is not a religion. HOW you live that faith, and choose to worship is religion. This motto no way tells you how to worship, or express your faith. This motto is no different that declaring the Stars and Stripes will be the American flag, or the Gold Finch is the state bird of Iowa. Come on folks, educate up (study the Bible for about 20 years) or leave the explaining of God and religion to those who really know and understand. A lot of this nations problems would be solved over night if we would just do as God says. After all, He created all this. He knows how it works. We get into trouble when we try to cast God out of our lives, thinking we know more than God…. a VERY dangerous proposition!! Ask Job, he learned.

          • Robin

            How YOU live with that faith. Is what you should be saying. YOU can’t force any faith on anyone. It is something between every man/woman and God. It is ungodly of you to think you have the right to try. Only God can decide wether to touch someones heart and they to let him in.
            The flag waving and the preaching by some in this country sure don’t go along with any version of Christianity or even simply human decency I am aware of. Going around slaughtering people all over the world using weapons with DU that will poison people for billions of years. And yet you hipocrytes go ape over some petty thing like this. Go get your fake printed money (that says In God WE Trust on it) and send some more to Washington so they can attack another country that isn’t even capable of attacking us on any scale. Who cares if a few hundred thousand children die? If you trust God so much why don’t you think he will protect you? Is his motto kill because they might kill you because you have been killing them?

            Please quote for me where in our Constitution it says that we are a Christian nation. In fact I would like to know if you can even find God’s name in the Constitution. While a majority of us are Christians, we are not a country founded upon a religion. We are a country founded upon an ideology…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

          • jane Barks

            Right, and all of the founding fathers believed in the Bible, and in the motto, “In God We Trust”. The declaration of independence written in 1776 states that we are endowed by their creator. God is the creator of life.
            Sad, most of this doesn’t even matter anymore to most.
            It states that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and institute new Government. Wow, are there enough people that could stand against what is going on and abolish this existing government? We really have that right and power given to us.

            ALL of his ideas are good, because they are ALL in defense of our citizens’ Constitutional freedoms and rights. The Constitution does not grant the Federal government the power to force a blanket motto on the states and, as Ron Paul is attempting to pull as much un-Constitutional power as possible away from the Feds and put it back into the hands of the people, he chose against the measure.

          I don’t care if they take the “Motto” off our coins or not. God did not create money because He knew it would lead to GREED and financial problems. People kill, cheat and lie to get their hands on money and God knew this would happen. He also knew that some people would worship money more than Him and make it their god. He was right of course. People do worship money more than Him.The Bible calls it filthy lucre. I believe we should keep the Motto on every thing else but if they want to remove it from our money It will not make mad.

      • Gary

Maybe you see the destruction of our economy through the funding of numerous wars and nation building as a good and proper use of your tax dollars…oh wait we are borrowing $.40 out of every dollar we spend so make that your children’s and grandchildren’s tax dollars. Well Ron Paul thinks our current involvement in these wars is insanity, and I agree. Do you think the government should adhere to our Constitution when creating legislation? Ron Paul does. And this is why he would have voted no on this issue. BECAUSE IT ISN’T AUTHORIZED IN THE CONSTITUTION!!!!

      Does Ron Paul know that the states don’t print our money, the federal government does? We put this on our money and in front of our Federal Court Houses, correct? This is why I can’t vote for this man. The bill has nothing to do with states rights at all.

      • Higgs

        This law pertains to our monetary system and our public buildings that are funded by both the state and the federal governments. This law was brought up due to the athiests and secular movement to remove God completely from our society. Otherwise, it wouldn’t even be an issue and the need for the law unnecessary. Ron Paul needs to wake up and pay attention to what’s happening in this country.

      • Carolyn Wu

        The Federal Government is not supposed to print money. Read the Constitution. Nowhere does it state that they can do that. Here is what the US Constitution actually says that Congress can do:

        “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;”

        Coin money. That’s it. Mint it, not print it. So you can have a dollar coin (minted money) but you can’t have a dollar bill (printed money).

        Now there is one way that they can “print” money. It is called borrowing money. That is actually what the government does. It borrows the money from the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve (which really isn’t part of the government–it is actually owned by the banks) prints a Federal Reserve Note (we call that a dollar). Then, because the Federal Reserve Note isn’t backed by anything, we put upon it, “In God We Trust”. Why? Because your money isn’t backed by anything other than the “full faith and credit of the US”, i.e., your trust in the US government. And why should you trust the US government? Well, let me give you a hint: What’s the difference between President Obama and God? Answer: God knows he’s not President Obama!

          Wrong. Our gov’t prints the money. It costs about 3 cents to print a $100 bill, the Fed buys it for 3 cents then we borrow at full face value plus interest. That’s why we need to audit the Fed and abolish it. Cain will never do this.

          • Certified American

            Good point CJ. Glad you brought up the way the Fed is ripping off Americans.

            And, you are right Cain didn’t see anything wrong with this, and defended it.

        • American Patriot

          @Wu,
          It can be printed as long as it has backing like the “Silver Certificates” did.
          The jew printed “Federal Reserve” notes are just worthless paper with no backing whatever. Yet the ba$tard$ charge usury on this worthless script!

      • siteunseen

        The Federal Reserve Bank prints our money, not the Federal Government. The Federal Government allowed the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a Private Banking System, run by Central Bankers from foreign countries, to print our money. You need a lesson on what happened in 1913 with regard to that diabolical banking system which has destroyed our currency and our country.

I know he has been around for awhile , but We need someone Really Strongwilled and won’t be swayed by the far leftist that wants to destroy America!! In fact I was thinking maybe I should vote for him , but today made up my mind,anyone who won’t standup for God Iwon’t vote for!!!

          • McClarinJ

            Anyone (and there is only one) who casts votes in such a small minority — often he’s the only “no” vote — is not likely to be strong willed, not easily swayed by leftists. They don’t call him Dr. No for nothing. For example, Paul was the only one to vote against Congress awarding a gold medal to Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa among others, even though he admired both, because the constitution doesn’t authorize such expenditures. He offered to donate his own money if his fellow members of Congress would do likewise. None would.

            There is a constitutional point in every vote Paul takes. He is fine with “In God we trust” appearing on our currency and other places but the new law would force states to comply and that falls outside the powers of the federal government spelled out in the Constitution.

      Ron Paul is against ANY expansion of the power of the Federal Government, any time that it infringes on the States Rights. Besides this bill was a non issue that should never even have been brought up for a vote.

        I respect that Ron Paul has many devoted cultists (just like Obamanation)…most of whom are simply misguided, well meaning people…but when the Neo Nazi Libertarians come on this blog, he just loses more and more support from Conservatives.

      The thing that you people don’t get is that Ron Paul’s vote/opinion of No on a FEDERAL law reaffirming a motto that says all people in America trust in God is also a position that supports individual states and communinties to allow prayer in schools without FEDERAL laws preventing it!!! He sees it as an overstep of the FEDERAL government into individuals lives. Should the FEDERAL government tell you that you have to use a motto of IN GOD WE TRUST but mandate that you can’t pray to GOD in school? It’s inconsistent and stupid. Ron Paul is misunderstood on many of the issues that people hold against him. He wants you to have maximum liberty and very limited FEDERAL government involvement in your lives just like the Constitution demands.

    • McClarinJ

      Deep, dude, very deep. And I love the all caps.

      Have you noticed the big difference from the GOP primary four years ago? Everyone was laughing themselves silly at Ron Paul in 2007-2008. This year they’ve each taken elements of his message then (the same message he has now) and claimed it for their own. I don’t agree with Juan Williams on much but I think his assessment is right on this: Ron Paul is setting the agenda for the Republican Party this year. Sure, they all have some dispute with his philosophy but they see how the American people, even the Republican voters, have warmed to Paul’s message and they figure they will win more votes if they say some of the same things.

      • http://www.realcolorwheel.com/end.htm Don Jusko

        • McClarinJ

          The first tea party event in over 200 years was held Dec. 16, 2007, when over $6 million was contributed online in support of Ron Paul. His son Rand, now a US senator, was the keynote speaker at the large gathering at historic Faneuil Hall in Boston and there were other tea party gatherings around the country that day. It got a lot of publicity. Maybe you missed it

          Anyway, the tea party movement spread like wildfire after the big collapse in 2008. Rick Santelli deserves credit for calling for a tea party revolt but the template was set by the Ron Paul Revolution. The fact that so many have aligned with the tea party is indeed the reason the other Republicans are borrowing Paul’s positions.

      Ron Paul has been on of the most principled and consistent legislators of the last 40 years. I think if there is reason that he cannot be elected is because the people doing the electing don’t understand such a fundamental idea as being consistent and principled! As a culture, ours no longer values such attributes. The country will not get out of trouble until that is reversed.

      Ron Paul is like a crazy uncle that sounds perfectly reasonable until you get on certain subjects, then you know why he’s considered crazy. No one who ignores the very real threat of Islamists to the civilized world should ever be seriously considered as presidential material. Paul refuses to acknowledge the threat and foollishly thinks if we leave them alone, they will leave us alone. The Qu’ran is very specific about how non Muslims are to be treated and Paul refuses to believe there are enough Muslims who buy into this concept to be dangerous. This is why we have been repeatedly attacked and why Muslims are involved in almost all wars and conflicts around the world as they have been at war with non Muslims for over 1,000 years. Until now, they didn’t have the money or weapons to meaningfully wage war.

        There are many conflicts around the globe that we don’t hear much about. Due to the importance of oil we hear a lot about the conflicts in the middle east and are drawn repeatedly to intervene there. But there are costs for our intervention. First, we are broke, teetering on horrendous bankruptcy, thanks in part to our blowing trillions fighting these wars. Second, we produce resentments just as any operations by a foreign army would here. We are driving recruits into the arms of the Muslim extremists.

        At the same time we have a porous border that lets potential terrorists into our country. Paul’s call to bring troops home and station them along the border is worth looking at, don’t you think?

      does this meen, Washington is doing away with printing this on the currency?

      • Sean

        Washington doesn’t print money. Congress gave up that responsibility and right about a century ago to a private corporation. You may have heard of them, the Federal Reserve. Despite their gov’t sounding name, the Fed. is not a part of the federal gov’t. Quite the opposite actually. They operate outside the system and Congress has no authority over them, although they want dull people to think they do so the chairman of the Fed. is often called into Congress to explain what they are doing. But this is of no consequence because Congress never gets down to the meat and potatoes of it.

        The Fed. prints you a dollar on behalf of a request by the federal governemnt and puts it into circulation. The cost for the Fed. is pennies and the cost to the gov’t is $1 plus interest. Ever wonder where all that debt keeps coming from?

      Mike: I Don’t know how far right or left, one can go, but Ron Paul, is definitly far out. I like him, but I fear there is a touch of Azheimer’s there.

      • McClarinJ

        You mean Alzheimer’s. Like me, Ron Paul communicates much more effectively in writing. He has written three bestsellers in the past four years, authors regular columns, and writes his own speeches, many of which you can read online. He is also a regular vlogger.

        Since he has had the same message for over 30 years it’s unlikely that he’s slipping. It’s just that you’re hearing it now.

        Paul is an admitted exercise nut. He is an indefatigable campaigner and squeezes in a bike ride during his day as often as possible. He recently challenged his opponents to a 20-mile bike ride at 100 degrees and 100% humidity in Houston to see who was “youngest.” I think only former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, a triathlete, would have beaten Paul.

    • Ralph DeVane

      Actually, Bush’s actions along with the Democrat Congress caused the Tea Party to become influential in returning to Constitutional principles. Commentators like constitutional attorney, Mark Levin and his book Liberty and Tyranny have contributed to the divide between country club, Washington establishment Republicans and Constitution believing voters and candidates. Barak Hussein Obama and his drones have only served to galvanize the movement and brought about the 2010 election landslide. Ron Paul is certainly a smart man and has some good ideas, except in the national security area, where he is pathetically naive.

      • Sean

        You’re wrong about Paul’s national security plans. As someone who has been to the other side of the world in the service of this nation, I can tell you that Ron is absolutely right. We have no business telling other sovereign nations how they can or cannot act and what weapons they will or will not have.

        Even our relatively benign federal food aid to Africa has led to the rise of militant warlord and dictatorial governments that seize the aid we give them and withhold it from those in need. The results being massive amounts of refugees formed after our free food destroys their local food producing economy and farms shut down forcing people to rely on these warlords or our assistance to feed their families.

        If you cannot see how our actions, though done with the best intentions, are causing death and misery, then you are naive. Remember, the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

      You’ll be thinking non-issue when Cain’s skeletons all come out and people realize its between 2 scummy politicians who won’t even defend life and citizens’ rights and RonPaul. Do you seriously think that anyone is thinking Rick Perry or Mitt Romney are who they want? Mitt signed into law a healthcare bill pretty dang similar to Obama and Rick cannot make up his own mind on the issues.

      Cain is the only challenger to Paul, and if these new allegations pan out to be true and Herman is found to be a sexual predator or even just culpable of several sexual harassment suits, then he will become a pariah and no one will touch him with a 20′ pole.

      Ron Paul on the other hand is firm in his positions on life, liberty, property, and he has delivered thousands of people into this world. I’d also like to think that he has saved a life or two in his day. So who is the “non-issue” now?

    • Laura

      No, what is a non event is this ridiculous bill, what is a non issue is a “national motto”, what is useless is slimy politicians pandering to good christian folk with this ridiculous bill. The Constitution grants no authority to congress to create a “national motto”. Paul’s stance on this issue is simple: if the Constitution does not grant authority, it cannot be done. Aren’t we conservatives against the heathcare bill passed by obama? Don’t we believe and know that it is unconstitutional? Why are we so willing to ignore the constitution on “our” issues? Maybe you feel that this motto bill is “harmless”, however it is quite harmful because if we allow “small” violations of the Constitution, we know more dangerous violations will follow.

    • Jim

      Ron Paul is the ONLY real, Constitutional, American candidate presently running for Presidential office. All others are (failed) politics and business as usual neo-cons. Yes, even Cain; who at least admits that our (income) tax system is draconian; but has no real solution is only another neo-con that would carry on the same failed policies, foreign and domestic. Ron Paul is only being politically expedient in denying support for “In God We Trust”. The U.S. Constitution clearly supports separation of church and State in the first amendment.

    • http://conservativebyte.com American

      Ron Paul IS a non issue on his opposition to the motto, “In God We Trust.” This was added at the founding of our Country, and Ron Paul wasn’t around at that time to know how eloquently thankful the fighting soldiers of that time were to have God on our side. Anything resembling a “country” at this late date is in no way related to our founding fathers’ country. Detractors such as Ron Paul are “back-slapping” Obama followers so long devoid of knowledge of right and wrong, they cannot decern the difference today. Onward Christian Soldiers, and loyal American-born citizens, may God forever be on our side.

      How can any of you think or say anything bad about how Ron Paul would have voted. He said that it is our motto and any bill to say it again is supercilious.

      CONSERVATIVES… READ YOUR STATE CONSTITUTION LATELY?

      if you read ur state constitution and it states “abortion is illegal, gay marriage is illegal, and in god we trust in public buildings” then that state has the right by law to honor that constitution and the federal government has no right to dictate that constitution from that state. In other words, if california wants to legalize marijuana the federal government has no right to use it’s power to criminalize those that use marijuana in california. Even tho I don’t agree with legalizing marijuana, so in my state I voted no to legalize marijuana in my state. So if “in god we trust” comes to a vote in my state, I will be voting yes it stays. And Ron Paul is correct, the federal government has NO AUTHORITY to pass any law overseeing state constitution.

    • lk

      Why don’t you all get off the comment on Waffle/Waffler, etc. and back to the subject at hand. How dare Ron Paul suggest we do away with “In God We Trust”
      God is the only thing you have to count on day in and day out.

    • lyudmila

      What I don’t like about Ron Paul is that he has not taken the Constitutional stance on Obama’s lack of eligibility to run for or hold the office of President as the Constitution demands, but then again none of the other candidates have either.

      Sure that shows how seriously he takes Constitution – Ron Paul does not care if President is eligible or not…That along disqualifies them both – current President, who hides his records (including school etc.), and Ron Paul, who has no interest in knowing those facts…
      God knows everything, but some like Ron Paul think that this is too much to proclaim, and current president mocked GOP for voting on that as he waste no time on bringing this country to “godless” status of moral decay and PC despite that the USA was founded by Providence of the God Creator and faithful patriots like Washington…
      God bless America.
      In God we trust.

      Not so. Every time one of our candidates opens their mouth we learn something. I believe Ron Paul is a patriot but, he is not a conservative. Ron Paul is a libertarian. There are great differences. Some Libertarian beliefs make him a very tough sell to conservatives. I like him and many of his political views but as I said – not as President. Ron Paul would be the best and most powerful Sec.of the Treasury we have ever had if the next President selects him and allows Rep Paul to do his thing. If you don’t believe me check out what Libertarians believe on individual’s behaviors and foriegn policy, etc.

          Why would she run as an independent? All she has to do is say she wants to run as the Democrat candidate and they will fall all over themselves to get rid of Obama. Most democrats are already distancing themselves from him if they are running for office next year. I think she is waiting until at least the first of the year to make her move – although it may be later. It might even be as late as the Democrat convention. She and Bill just walk in and say, we’re here and we’re taking over. They’d fall all over themselves and put Obama in a back room until it was over.

            If you want to do something about the UN’s attempt to take away our guns, or gun control, you can check out UniteinAction.org. They will tell you how to send faxes to the Senators to ask them to vote against the Gun Grab. I guess people don’t realize how very, very serious this is, and not only would we not be able to defend ourselves against socialists, but also, we would not be able to defend ourselves period. And that is not the only reason to vote against the Gun Grab! Does anyone realize how many billions of dollars sportsmen and women have put into our economy because of hunting, for example? Who supports wildlife conservation? Hunters. Who supports improving habitat? Hunters. Who helps control animal populations when they would otherwise die from diseases like brain worms and liver flukes or starvation? Hunters. Think of the huge number of people who will lose jobs if guns are taken away. Hunting affects many, many industries: food, clothing, shelter, to name a few. It has been said that the only people who will be able to “get” guns are criminals. It will cost something to send the faxes, but now that we have the opportunity to have some input, it would be worth it! And, then hope for the best. If you are a praying person, then pray like never before. And don’t stop with our right to keep and bear arms. Pray that God Almighty and His dear Son Jesus Christ will be invited back to our country and that His Name will be honored. He wants us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbor as ourselves. He gives us joy that is our strength. His peace passes understanding. He is patient with us and does not want any of us to perish. He is kind and good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. He is faithful and true. He is gentle and meek. He wants us to exhibit self-control and to repent of our sins against Him and each other. May God have mercy on America.

      Have you noticed the big difference from the GOP primary four years ago? Everyone was laughing themselves silly at Ron Paul in 2007-2008. This year they’ve each taken elements of his message then (the same message he has now) and claimed it for their own. I don’t agree with Juan Williams on much but I think his assessment is right on this: Ron Paul is setting the agenda for the Republican Party this year. Sure, they all have some dispute with his philosophy but they see how the American people, even the Republican voters, have warmed to Paul’s message and they figure they will win more votes if they say some of the same things.

  • Supertad108

If with every transaction we don’t see IGWT on money will we soon forget God? Please tell me who’s god are we talking about? At what point following these type laws will the FedGov begin to tell us WHICH god they think it should be. Interesting that we cannot evoke the name of Jesus. My bet is this is merely a stepping stone to further deny the fact that Jesus IS God. This leaves room for NO other god(s). Sorry to say that just isn’t PC enough for those that believe in god(s).

He just went back to the capitol for some emergency. Wouldn’t it be great if the clown had to resign while he was campaigning of course he has been in campaign mode since he took office trying to BS everyone that he was doing work that called for hi8m to be out there.

            In God We Trust
            From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
            For other uses, see In God We Trust (disambiguation).
            “In God We Trust” on the back of a Twenty Dollar Bill.

            “In God We Trust” was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956. It is also the motto of the U.S. state of Florida. The phrase has appeared on U.S. coins since 1864 and on paper currency since 1957.[1] Its Spanish equivalent, En Dios Confiamos, is the motto of the Republic of Nicaragua.[2]

            The phrase was conceived by Salmon P. Chase, the U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Abraham Lincoln.[1] Believing that no “nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins” wrote Chase in a letter to James Pollock, the Director of the Mint in Philadelphia.[3] Similar phrases or derivations can be found in the Bible (including Psalms 20, Psalms 56, & Psalms 62). The phrase has been incorporated in many hymns and patriotic songs. The final stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner, written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key (and later adopted as the U.S. national anthem), contains an early reference to a variation of the phrase: “…And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust’.”[4] At least one Civil War Regiment, the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry, especially Company C from Huntingdon with an adopter by the name of William W. Wallace, assumed the motto “In God We Trust” in early August 1862,[5][6] prior to the possibility of governmental influence. Bravely marching into battle with this motto[7], the 125th received an estimated 33%[8][9] casualties at the Battle of Antietam on the ‘Bloodiest Day in American History.’[10]

            The motto was placed on United States coins because of the widespread trauma and heightened religious response that existed during the Civil War. “Both [sides of the Civil War] read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other,” spoke President Abraham Lincoln during his Second Inaugural Address (with the Civil War in progress).[11] While the Treasury Department was being actively petitioned by outsiders (such as the Reverend M. R. Watkinson) to add a religious statement to currency as early as November, 1861, Treasury Secretary Chase did not approve the precise “In God We Trust” until December 9, 1863.[1]

            It was first used as a motto on coinage on the 1864 two-cent coin, followed in 1866 by the 5 cent nickel (1866–1883), quarter dollar, half dollar, silver dollar and gold dollars.[12][13] An 1865 law allowed the motto to be used on coins.[14] The use of the motto was permitted, but not required, by an 1873 law. While several laws come into play, the act of May 18, 1908,[15] is most often cited as requiring the motto (even though the cent and nickel were excluded from that law, and the nickel did not have the motto added until 1938). Since 1938, all coins have borne the motto.

            On July 11, 1954, just one month after the phrase “under God” was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance,[16] the U.S. Congress enacted Public Law 84-140, which required the motto on all coins and currency. The law was approved by President Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, and the motto was progressively added to paper money over a period from 1957 to 1966.[12]

            In 1956 the phrase was legally adopted as the United States’ national motto by a law passed by the 84th United States Congress.(Public Law 84-851)”,[17] and the United States Code at 36 U.S.C. § 302, now states: “‘In God we trust’ is the national motto.”

            I have no issue with having In God We Trust on the paper money but Payable Upon Demand In Silver or Gold should be on our money. However when you think about it since now that paper money is worthless and we have the word God on it isn’t that a bit insulting to God since he is suppose to be everything to us. And how many people in their greed and scramble to climb over everyone else really think about those words. They just hand the money over to pay for something legal or illegal and that is that. Sad, but true.

        • bruce brinkmann

          Well thank God. You’re the first person that seems to grasp the reasoning behind Dr’ Paul’s vote. And the first poster that may have surpassed the fifth grade. The butchering of the English language on this site is depressing. Good luck, and God bless.

          • rder

            Critics contend that the motto’s placement on money constitutes a law “respecting an establishment of religion” by the government, thus violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and the Separation of church and state. The motto was first challenged in Aronow v. United States in 1970, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled: “It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency ‘In God We Trust’ has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise.”[18] The decision was cited in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, a 2004 case on the Pledge of Allegiance. So-called acts of “ceremonial deism” have supposedly lost their “history, character, and context”.[19] In Zorach v. Clauson (1952), the Supreme Court has also held that the nation’s “institutions presuppose a Supreme Being” and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of such a state church as the Constitution’s authors intended to prohibit. Constitutionalists object to sworn judiciaries employing historical context in what they believe ought to be a raw textual interpretation.[20][21]

            Some activists have been known to cross out the motto on paper money as a form of protest.[22] Although federal law (18 U.S.C. § 333 and 18 U.S.C. § 475) prohibits defacement of currency, it specifies either “intent to render such bank bill…unfit to be reissued” or a “notice or advertisement”, and no documented cases exist of prosecution for such action. Additionally, the Federal Reserve frequently recirculates similarly altered notes.[23]

            Outside of constitutional objections, President Theodore Roosevelt took issue with placing the motto on coinage as he considered it sacrilegious to put the name of God on money.[24]

            A long-standing, irreverent joke slogan was eventually cited as the title of Jean Shepherd’s book, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash

          Right Glenn, I think I see what is happening on this thread. The trolls came running here when they read Paul’s name and posted first (as I suspect they were paid to do). Now, ¼ of the way down the tide has turned and posters are aware of the poor headline and dumb comments and are posting. I’ve noticed the trolls never come back to check their replies, evidently they don’t get paid for that.

          I think your the question you asked kind of gives you a clue about our country and the fact that we need a Ron Paul to run and win. This country is being run by some other people rather than the PEOPLE. I guess it starts with getting rid of the fed and taking back our right to private property.

            Ron Paul is the only answer to fixing America’s problems.
            Why doesn’t this site write about Ron Paul’s economic plan that will strip $1 trillion off the Federal budget and balance it in 3 years time?
            Why doesn’t this site talk about how Ron Paul is the only candidate AND only politician who want to withdraw America from the United Nations?
            Why doesn’t this site post about Ron Paul being the only person who wants to get rid of the fiat money and replace it with REAL money?
            Why doesn’t this site tell people that Ron Paul is the only politician who want the US Treasury Dept to print OUR money and not a private corporation called the Federal Reserve Bank?
            Is this site afraid that people might actually wake up to the fact that Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that actually honors the Constitution and wants to obey our Law of the Land?
            People must be driven from their ignorance and I am not sure there are many so-called conservative sites willing to have that happen.

        Hey SFC – stop your whining! No one is preventing you from openly showing your belief in God. Go ahead and tattoo the Ten Commandments on your forehead. Nobody will try to stop you – except maybe your wife.

        • B. Hill

          This is true….if one believes that strongly in God We Trust, they can ink their body up with this motto, but Ron Paul was saying that he does not believe the Federal Government has the position, much less the right to mandate the states to use this motto. That is all he is saying…Ron Paul IS a Christian, but he believes the states can decide for themselves. This is getting the government OUT of our business, like we would want them too..RIGHT? Or NOT?

          Telling government that they are too big is what we believe, RIGHT? Now, allowing Government to mandate what we should be is ALLOWING the government to stick their heads into our lives, RIGHT?
          Damn it one way and Damn it the other…Americans are so freaking fickle.

      • Rodger in WA

        You’re right on, sarge. To quote Ronald Reagan, “A nation not under God is a nation gone under.”
        Just open your eyes, folks, look around you and consider how far this country has sunk in the past 30 years. It will be readily apparent to all but the morally blind or brain dead that Ron was right.
        In my opinion, we are beyond redemption. Either trust God and turn to Him for salvation or suffer the consequences.
        When the defecation hits the ventilation, I don’t plan to be here. Anyone vaguely familiar with Bible prophesy will know what I mean. The rest of you better wise up and fast.

        • B. Hill

          This is SOOOOOOOOOO True about what Reagan says…BUT, does the Federal Government TELL all the states what they should believe? They did by forcing a vote in the Congress. It this what YOU want?

          OR

          Leave the states to decide if they want to have IN GOD WE TRUST on their money, like Ron Paul believes?

          Make up your mind America…Do you want the Federal Government intervening here? If they do, They WILL be sticking their heads into all of our States affairs…

          You CAN”T have it Both Ways America!

          • rder

            Go to my post above or just look it up. In God We Trust has been put on coins since the (un)Civil War. It was adopted as the motto of the United States of America by Congress in 1956. No one is jamming anything down anyone’s throat, unlike ObamaCare. If you are an atheist they are just so much letters and words – why would you care? If you are of a religion other than Christian (whose name for their god is GOD), it could refer to yours or even to Allah.

            All that being said; this is much ado about nothing. I agree that Congress has much much more important things to do than reaffirm the motto of the United States that has stood for over fifty years. Maybe they could take time out and change the national emblem of the bald eagle to the Wild Turkey, a truly native American, as Benjamin Franklin suggested. and another time he suggest a rattlesnake.

      • John B

        Why do the majority of Americans allow 5 to 10% of the population of our great country allow them to tell the majority what to do is it because they raise their voices loud & clear to make their point that they do no believe in god & create problems like taking prayer out of schools remember it was just one person that started it all then others joined in. If the thought of god disturbs them so much they should learn to not listen or pay attention to what is happening, now we have Christmas coming & it is now politically correct to say happy holidays. Ever since these mulims (for one) started their B S it has been Merry Christmas coming from my lips & I don’t give a rats patootie if it offends them or not maybe they will go back where they came from if we all say it let’s start a movement with just two words come on you can do it it just rolls off of your tongue Merry Christmas & as far as I am concerned they can go %&@k Themselves

        • Karen

          Why is it that everything offends them is taken away from those that are not offended? Well it offends me that they are taking away my country and all that it stood for.

        • rder

          So called Christians have brought “happy Holidays’ instead of Merry Christmas about. Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birth of Christ (no one actually knows when he was born) and the Church did this by celebrating Christ’s Mass – and so we got Christmas. But, Christians have done most everything to make it simply a secular holiday, they bring no gifts to the Christ Jesus, they bring toys to children, decorate their homes and even their worship sanctuaries with trees and effigies of Santa Claus. And so you have commercialized Christ out of Christmas – you might as well call it Commercial Day. If you truly want it to return to celebrating the birth of Jesus the Christ – I suggest you bring something to him, like keeping the commandments, or feeding the poor and homeless, doing something for others.

          Christians have let the courts and other tell them what they can do on their public land – it isn’t “government” land, it is land that belongs to WE the People, it is OUR property. A county court house belongs to the people of that county, if they want the ten commandments or a nativity creche on their property, it’s their business, not some state or even less so the Federal courts or governments business.

          • http://www.realcolorwheel.com/end.htm Don Jusko

            That’s right, and I think you will see changes this Christmas. The people are fed up with the Fed or the State making laws agains us. Merry Christmas and Happy Easter ya’ll.

            rder:
            Do not go by the wrong “History”, or by “tradition”, and please, do not use the word “Christians” in such a liberal way. Most of the so-called “Christians” are not Christians at all. I am emphatic about this, because one can not be “half a Christian”. To be or not to be, that is the question. Those who call themselves Christians, and are not, have brought all the pagan traditions, into the churches. Some so-called “men of God” have attempted to Christianize Paganism, or Paganize Christianity, and to certain extent they have done it.

        • Hook24

          Weasler, do you have any substantive comments? Or, do you think throwing around insults wins the day? Ron Paul has a core philosophy that says the Federal Government is limited by The Constitution to certain activities and this bill wasn’t one of those certain activities. You may not be familiar with The Constitution if you attended public schools, but you can read it in one sitting. It is very short, and there is no authorization within it for Congress to force states to adopt anything of this nature.

        • B. Hill

          You don’t understand Ron Paul’s position here or who Ron Paul IS…but making you snide comments are indicative of your own self-righteousness.

      • gene

        Sorry Cynthia but Ron Paul is an idiot. He says it is OK for Iran to have nukes and that he woyuld negotiate with them. That is exactly what Obumer says. You can not negotiate with people who have sworn to destroy you. This bill does not force the states to do anything. It just reafirms that this country believes in God. Jesus is God. Our Constitution states the Government can not make one religion our religion, it does not say that the Government people cant pray to the one God or that students cant pray at there school. They have freedom of speach. If it offends you then leave the room or plug your ears and dont listen.

        • lonetrader

          Gene, you are the idiot. Who made it the United States job to tell a country what they can, or can not have. What gives us the right to do that? And, you meant their, not there.

          • lonetrader

            I have No problem with self defense. What Iran does is none of our business. We have the best military in the world. The most technology advanced. Last time I checked there was about 7,000 miles between us and a huge ocean in that. Has Iran attacked us? No. did Kadafi attack us? No. If Iran gets nuclear capability, what do you think they will do with it??? Russia has it. Have they used it against us? No. Many countries have it. I don’t buy it that we need to strike them in the name of self defense. Now IF Israel decides to go after them, they are an ally. We should supply them. We really need to stop being the world policeman.

        • 4Liberty

          First – find an example Iran said they would destroy the USA. I already know you won’t, that is first rate propaganda – repeat it enough on Hannity and you will believe it. Second, our “country” does not believe in Jesus. An overwhelming majority does, but our country does not – the founders were very careful about that. An overpowering majority is just democracy: Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Lastly – no one is trying to take away the right of members of Congress to believe in a god or proclaim their faith. That is a blatant misrepesentation of the subject. Our nations motto of IGWT has only been used for 60 years – how is it even necessary to reaffirm that modern piece of legislature?

          Here’s an idea – How about Congress reaffirm the Constitution as the law of the land and start legislating with it!! That would wipe out 3/4 of DC right there.

        • Hook24

          Gene, if you have to pass a bill to tell people that they trust in God, then it is already too late. It is not the purpose of government to tell people how to live, and what to believe and when to salute…and eventually when to show your identification. One of the reasons people fled Europe (mostly England) and came to colonize this continent was to escape from authorities telling them how they had to live. Government is supposed to protect freedoms, not impose behavioral standards!!! Ron Paul is a God fearing man, but he also loves freedom and peace. He votes his conscience. He actually has core values, unlike any of the other candidates.

        • http://wordpress usfrog

            And he is right. We are not nor should be the policemen of the world. Guard and protect our own borders. We have more to fear there than overseas. Israel is capable of protecting herself if the UN stays out of it all. Get us out of the UN and the UN out of us.

        • Louis

          Gene my friend,
          Nowhere does Ron Paul say it’s OK for Iran to have nukes. You are drinking the kool-aid the media wants you to drink. I am sure that Ron Paul say’s it’s not OK for the U.S. to boss Iran around and tell them how to run their own country. Would be OK with, say, China demanding that we get rid of our Nukes. Ron is right. We have the most technologically advanced weapons in the world. If anyone attacks our homeland or declares war, we would decimate them over night. Lets just protect our border before we go broke protecting the world and find ourselves so broke and burdened and owing everyone that we can’t afford to defend ourselves. We would be in deep trouble then wouldn’t we. And with our trillions of dollars in debt, that is a real issue. I hope we realize this dire situation before foreign troops land on our shores demanding payment on the debt we own them.

          • SHIRLEY

            LOUIS…….YOU ARE WRONG…..ON T.V YOUR FRIEND RON PAUL SAID”””’it is o.k. for iran to have a nuke……every else has one…. THAT I HEARD WITH MY OWN EARS…..not from theBLAME GAME MEDIA…..THAT LITTLE REMARK COST HIM A LOT OF VOTES….. INCLUDING MINE!!!!!!!!!

          • Tedd

            Shirley he did not say that. Taking it out of context.

            He did say he understands why they would want one. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have them. If you looked into 9/11 many of the terrorists where paid by and came from Saudi Arabia and yet we do nothing to Saudi Arabia? We are more concerned with Iran than the Saudi’s. When has Iran attacked us?

            Not to mention the only way to stop them is to nuke and destroy the entire people of the region. Could you honestly consider yourself christian and believe “In God We Trust” when you condone the murder of millions of people in order to settle a silly unwarranted fear you had placed in your head by Neo Conservatives like Mark Levin?

        • Charlotte Juett

          Gene, we negotiated with the Russians that swore to annihilate us and nothing happened and they had hundreds of nukes.

          People have made him God and raised him to be equal with his Father. The Ten Commandments which everyone is so full of says “Thou Shall have NO other God’s before ME” Jesus was NOT that God.

            @abby,
            The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are one and the same.

          • John

            rder,
            You really need to pay closer attention to what the Holy Bible says.
            Doesn’t it say that He (Jesus) shall be called Imanuel,
            which means God with us? Did Jesus not say that
            “I and My Father are one”, and that “he that has seen
            Me has seen the Father”?
            You imply that Jesus would not pray to Himself. Why
            not? God the Father swore by Himself because there is
            none greater, and there is none greater than Jesus (being
            God), so, yes, since in Him dwells all the fullness of the
            Godhead, even though His prayer is directed to the first
            person of the Trinity He is in effect praying to Himself.
            Are you a Jehovahs witness? You are as mixed up as
            they are.
            Friend, would you please ask God to remove the veil
            from your eyes”? You don’t have to be eternally lost
            in sin.

          • http://none CRITICON

            rder,
            with all due respect, your ignorance about theology shines. You are ignorant of the Scriptures, or you are a Johovah Witness, or a unitarian, or these three things combined.

          • david d hoffman

            rder right on! to say Jesus was God is to take away from all his works and sacrifice. Only those to whom God has given to Jesus have an ear to hear the truth.

          • Bill Roderick

            Don’t know what book you read that could possibly have the word “Bible” on the outside but the one I read says in John ch8 verse 58″Jesus said unto them,Verily,verily, Before Abraham was, I am.” the same name God the Father used to Moses when he told them tell them I am Sent you!!! Yes Jesus did claim to be God!

          • siteunseen

            Um…I don’t know what Bible you read, but Jesus is God, The Holy Ghost is God, and the Father is God. They are the Blessed Trinity. Three in One, one in three. The Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and Son, and together with the Father and the Son is both adored and Glorified. Jesus Christ is the Son of God made man, as there are Three Divine Persons in One God. Yes, there is only One God, but there are three distinct persons in One God. This is a mystery of Faith. Our minds are too small to comprehend it, just as our minds are too small to comprehend that God Always was, and Always will be. Jesus Christ sitteth at the right hand of God the Father, and from thence He shall come to Judge the Living and the Dead, and of his Kingdom there shall be no end. Jesus said to Pontius Pilate: “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.” Jesus will come on the last day, to Judge both the Living and the Dead. The Son of God; is God!

          He wasn’t interested in voting at all on that issue because he likes the motto but doesn’t see the need for the legislation. It wasn’t a big enough deal for him to make the effort, especially knowing it wouldn’t change anything.

    • Weasler

      Oh, why don’t you people STOP it already with that “Who’s god are we talking about?” nonsense. Do you know how CHILDISH that sounds? It refers to EVERY religion’s idea of God – does that satisfy you?

      And with regard to your dumb “God could care less” comment, I’ve always wondered why atheists – who don’t believe in God or the hereafter or any sort of spirituality , only the material – should care so much about another person’s reference to God, or should care about ANYTHING, for that matter. What difference does it make to them? In their cynical minds, it’s all nothing more than chemical reactions anyway. So why get so upset about it?

      • Rodger in WA

        The answer to that, I think, is where God is absent, Satan fills the void. It is his influence that generates the non believer’s antagonism toward the believers.
        Strange isn’t it, that non believers can get so exercised over the belief of others in a God they (the non believers) claim doesn’t exist.

        • Hook24

          Wow you missed the point entirely. The point here was freedom, not God. Freedom is a negative concept. This doesn’t mean it is bad, it means that it only exists when coercion is withdrawn. Forcing States to adopt some Congressional edict is coercion, even if it is a cause you support. And, because it is coercion it is anti-freedom. Freedom is really a valuable part of all of our lives, and anytime anybody loses any freedom we all suffer somewhat, although we may not see it very well at the time. Ron Paul is the only candidate that recognizes the total importance of being free.

        • Louis

      • Tedd

        It’s not just Atheists that don’t want this. Originally the idea of seperation of Church and State was to make sure that the state did not impose their religious views or become a speaker for a certain religion.

        I mean do you really think it’s a good idea to have “In God We Trust” on a building that says Abortion is ok? The federal government claims to trust in God yet goes against his teachings. How is this association seen as a good thing in any way? I could only see it angering God when he see’s us putting him in the same light as the government that condones killing of unborn babies and murder of innocent men and women in unjust wars (the wars are unjust according to Christianity).

        Thank you!!!!!
        I’ve posted many times that there is ONLY one God of all creation. If He’s called God, Allah or Holy Spirit makes no difference. He loves all that accept Him.

        • comsense08

          Not quite right. He loves all His creation. He SAVES those who love Him. And He has made it very clear how that happens, and that is through faith in the sacrificial death of his only Son, Jesus. Sadly enough, He will condem all those who do not have this faith. You can deny it all you want, it does not change truth. God has told us all we need to know. WE choose to ignore it, and pay the ultimate price.

        • John

          American Patriot,
          The One True God IS NOT called Allah. Allah is the moon god
          from Mecca and he is a false idol. `The Lord Jesus Christ is the
          only true God. Allah is not the Lord Jesus Christ. Allah is not
          the Eternal, Divine Son of God, and he never died so that we may have life eternal. And it very definitely matters what you
          call Him.

        • AnybodyButChicagoDemocrats

          American Patriot: Must really be irritating that you worship a Jew. Jesus was Jewish the day he was born and was crucified as a Jew. Doesn’t fit very well with your Ron Paul theology!!!!

          • American Patriot

            @AnybodyButChicagoDemocrats,
            Jesus denied being a jew when they were killing Him. Read your bible IF you have one or even know what it is.
            Mt, 27:11
            Mk, 15:2
            Lk, 23:3
            Then respond with another lie.

        • Tedd

        Wes,
        Jesus is the only True God. All other gods are false idols.

      • siteunseen

        Hey Wes…you need a Catechism Lesson. Do you believe in the Blessed Trinity? If not, you don’t believe in God at all. There is only one name by which we can be saved, and that is the “Holy Name of Jesus”. Jesus came down from Heaven through the power of the Holy Ghost, and became man, to die on a cross for your sins. He is the redeemer of Mankind, the Son of God, but God just as His Father is God. Wow..is ignorance rampant or what? Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father, except through Me.” Jesus is our Mediator of Redemption.

        • Tedd

          He is not ignorant. Perhaps you are as ignorance implies a lack of knowledge. There are many christians that do not believe the Trinity is composed of the same person. Many find that they God, Jesus, and The Holy Ghost are all separate entities.

          It makes sense that for instance Jesus is God but at the same time is not. Just as I am my father (have his DNA, looks, traits) yet I am not him entirely. We are separate entities.

    • greenteeth

      And who wanted this bou? ONE NATION UNDER GOD, WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT GET?

      • Hook24

        Oh yeah, the pledge of allegiance…written by a socialist/fascist. Have you ever seen the salute that was supposed to go along with the pledge? If you haven’t, you might want to check it out. The Under God part was added later, and it has never to my knowledge been forced on anybody by the Federal Government…States maybe, but then they have the right to do so if they wish.

      • Hook24

        One more thought experiment for you…When the United States was first formed the correct grammar when referring to this country was The United States are…Now it is The United States is…

        If you take some time and do some thinking I am sure you will realize that originally this country was made up of sovereign states who committed to form a union as long as their sovereignty was to be kept intact. There was never any intent within our Constitution that gave the Federal Government the power to force the states to do anything they did not want to do, including this stupid healthcare that Obama got through Congress. Freedom is a very precious commodity. It only exists when coercion is removed. I am amazed at how casually many of those who have responded here are willing to throw away part of their freedom for a slogan.

        Yep, you said it, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. (I’m truly waiting for that day, I want to see all these American (so-called) Christians on their knees confessing. But then, they are only going to confess that he is lord, King of Kings, not that he is GOD. His Kingdom will be this world for a thousand years and then after he finally gets rid of ‘satan’, it will be his for ever. but – he is NOT God, the Creator of all things. God’s son and instrument, perhaps, but not GOD.

Do you understand now which God I’m refering to.If not,you can go back to what ever you were doing before you responded.You sound way too mellow about this to me,maybe the weed helps,you would be the one that would know about that!!!!!It’s all good Dude,you know what I mean,far out man!!!!!!

    • comsense08

      First Commandment makes it clear who God is and what He thinks of any other God. If you want to persue another “god”, so be it, at your demise, but tell me this. How is your trying to tell true belivers in God and American patriots they CANNOT put God first any different than what you accuse us of? You want to push your anti-god rhetoric down our thoats! YOU want to change the basis this nation was founded on. YOU want to strip the Godly influence the founding fathers insisted on. So, frankly, I think you should take your wrong ideas and either keep quiet, or go find a nation that better fits your beliefs because this a God centered nation and will remain that way! There is one true God, and one day, “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that I am God”. Your argument is against God, not American law. Study the Bible!! It’s your best answer to all problems.

    • John

      Supertad108,
      There is only one God. And yes He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
      All other god’s are false idols. The one true God is spelled with
      a capital G. It is “in God we trust” not “in god we trust”
      When we see the word God we know it is Jesus and Him only.
      And He knows whether or not each person acknowledges Him.
      The point is that we need to retain the motto. If someone
      sees it as representing a false idol that is their loss.
      I print “IN GOD WE TRUST” between the return address and
      the stamp on each letter I send thru the Post Office.

        • Louis

          LONETRADER,
          You are correct in your response to Rod. I am a christian and it seems to me that God is repaying us for our sins. We are not under His gracious protection. We are under the scripture that says God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We have been fed a bunch of lies from so called christians who run for president but who are disciples of Satan. We can see this in their support of everything other than the constitution the SWORE (before God) to uphold and then do otherwise. That makes them liars! And we all know who the father of lies is! Period. We are reaping what it is that we have sown. Good insight my friend. I hope someday the christian people awake and understand. And it is all soooooo obvious. There is no blessing of God on this country from sea to shining sea I am so sorry to say.

          • comsense08

            You folks all miss the point. God has laid out before time how things will go. If it is His will, He can devinely “take care of you” just as He did in ages past. If it’s His will that you suffer for your faith, you will suffer. Study Job. There are things going on WAY beyond our abilities to know or understand. That’s what FAITH is all about! Satan and his minions have been allowed freedom to take in those he can. God will purify His church. “Those who have ears, let them hear”. Not every one will be allowed to hear God. They are chosen before time to be sent to destruction. We lose His blessing when we choose not to follow Him. Losing His blessing, is not a good thing, for ANY of us.

      • rder

        This country was NOT built on “In God We Trust” – not until the UNCIVIL WAR did that particular epithet come out. But that the founders had a very different take on Freedom of Religion than the Government and Courts do today. What is happening to the United States is what happens to every country or nation that has ever existed – great promise, greatness, then they all fall to evil and degenerate to nothing. Human’s who have the capability to do great things and be great people, fail, it’s just the way human beings are. Anyone who thought or thinks that this nation would last forever never studied history. Almost ever nation and every people started small and grew to be a power and over time fell away from their promise and became nothing. sometimes a new generation or a new leader was able to pick up the pieces and bring it again to greatness, but in a few generations it fell again. It is the never ending story of human history. It could be that in our case, as in the case of the Hebrew Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, it’s because we turned our backs on our God and we get the reward for that. but there were nations, countries and kingdoms that never knew “God” that have come and gone. It is just a huge tragedy that with such possibility, this country has determined by choosing the leaders and people to represent us in our government we are sliding down the slope to mediocrity. And we really have no idea today – what nation or people will be the next great “civilization” in the world.

      • cmbhi

        Rod, no it wasn’t. This country was build on the principles of Natural Law, that our rights are unalienble. The founders were very mindful that not all Christian denominations held the same beliefs and that there were those who had beliefs other than Christianity. They worked tirelessly to ensure no faith was raised over another.
        You need to seriously study early American history.

      How does having “In God we trust” on our money prove that we’re a God-fearing Christian nation? Or that you are a Christian? Is it a magical charm that changes atheists into believers? Is having a phrase imprinted or engraved on a piece of money really how you re-affirm your faith? I’m not against this particular empty gesture, but it is just that: an empty gesture and doesn’t prove anything. It doesn’t strengthen or lessen my faith in Him. Why would it? It’s a piece of paper or a coin. As a Christian, my focus is to try my hardest to live a life pleasing to God, not to pay lip service to Him. Ron Paul is absolutely correct on this. And regarding the commenter who said that Ron Paul was ok with Iran having nuclear weapons. He said that as a sovereign nation they have the right to go for it, if they wish. He was stating a fact, not an opinion.

  • barbpatton

        Good and true. God is no respetor of persons. We are sinful, and as filthly rags to Him. He cannot even look upon us except for the clensing of the Blood of Christ. Thee Sovergn God is just that, Sovern! Thee one true God. He certainly does not care about our silly little “Political Correctness” game being played. He expects us to follow His commandments, which pretty much takes care of all that stuff! Mankind has always been in rebellion. I sometimes think now more than ever. Study Revelation.

    • BIGOTIST

      barbpatton,
      I am also politically incorrect and concur with your excellent post-
      I am a Materialist, however, as you have stated, the only thing the people of this once free country have to trust in is, God- The government is an outreaching of satan!!!!!!
      Welcome to America and hopefully your belief will come true~

    • True Patriot that believes in the original US Constitution

      barbpatton, what you say is right. If we don’t turn back to God — “In God We Trust”– we will fail/perish as a free, God-given, Christian nation. That’s why the “enemy” within — atheists, anti-Chistians, muslims, etc. are working hard to destroy any mention of trust in God in order to destroy this country from within. We must not let them.

      As our Founding Fathers stated and as a Pentecostal Preacher, I do believe that the motto, “In God We Trust,” should stay on the U.S. currency, federal bldgs, state bldgs, etc. A country without God shall perish. Antonin Scalia, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, said, “Our Founding Fathers never used the term ‘separation of church and state.’” The desecration or removal of this motto is just like shooting a bald eagle or desecrating the U.S. flag. This should be a federal offense. The reason Ron Paul was not on the list of nine because he missed the vote. Basicly, he’s running for president and one of the comments on Conservativebyte, today, talks about Perry. Both these people are from Texas. George Bush has sold Texas out to Mexico. So, these two candidates are as illegal as Obamo. This issue about Federal judges ruling against our motto; these federal judges are legislating from the bench to the States. These judges are suppose to interprete the U.S. Constitution and they’re not suppose to legislate from the bench. The reason why the U.S. House, federal government, is intervening is because these federal judges are ruling against the states and violating people’s rights to religious freedom as protected under the U.S. Constitution, Article I. I don’t know why Ron Paul can’t see the writing on the wall in very large letters. We have 12 federal reserves in the U.S. that prints money with this motto on it. This is the reason the federal government has to intervene on this matter. If these U.S. Congressmen do not like the motto then they need to find another job career besides destroying this great, God-given country. Go to website: http://www.haasstrep68.com

      • Sp5 / 75075

        Patriot,
        I stand with you. The writing on the wall is clear.But I also want to add – Does JE-US need that “in G-D we trust” on our money? I don’t think G-D needs that to confirm who He is. It’s us that need Him. And for the people who in their “right” don’t want that written on the money – try going to church, Salvation Army, homeless shelters or anywhere that people have needs, put some of that money there so you don’t have to look at it. I want it on our money – it is a very little sign of respect to G-D – who deserves allot more than that. And trust me I am not demanding anyone else to respect G-D. G-D isn’t either. It would just be a smart thing to do, get into the Word and I hope the Word will mean something to you.

  • barbpatton

    Perhaps Ron Paul was testing the present “air” that we breath to see whether he still has freedom of speech and the knowledge that when the time comes that he needs to mark his X on the ballot paper….that there will NOT be someone twisting his reluctant fingers and placing it in the wrong box….I am sure he trusts in his God.

    • Bill Roderick

      And just who or what is Ron Paul’s God? Anyone know? What the founders said in the Declaration of Independence”…to assume among the powers of earth,the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God entitle them….”. The foundational document of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! clearly states this nation is founded on the God of Christianity, which is the only God that claims to have created the earth!!!!

      • rder

        I’m sure that you are totally educated in all the religions and “gods” that people believe in and know whether they “claim” to have created the earth or not – but that aside – “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” – hmmm – not the God of the Universe, the Creator of everything – but Nature’s God – Here is good reading on the subject: http://www.historytools.org/docs/Natures-God.html

      Nobody was suggesting we change our Motto. Bringing the issue to the floor was a waste of time…similar to if we all agree to breathe air with oxygen in it, let us have a vote on it.

      Ron Paul was conned into being Ron Paul by being honest to the point of stupidity
      With him, what you see is what you get like it or not

      If you like honesty,even if it hurts vote Ron Paul
      If you like a shifty, shrew guy that you do not really know what he is really thinking, but probably will get the country in the right direcction, vote Mitt Ronmey or Huntsman
      If you would like to vote for another inexperience dude with great oratory
      and can sing also, vote Herman Cain
      If you miss Bush Jr, but like somebody even dumber vote Perry
      If you think the country is going down the toilet and will really like to flush it vote Bachmann

        We don’t need a mouthy “I don’t give a crap what you think” president. We have one of those already, certainly on the wrong side, but nontheless “I don’t give a crap” president. America is a diversified group of people. The president has to be the president of ALL Americans!!! Certainly something we don’t have now, and you see how that’s working for this nation! This has to be stopped, and not by another “I’ll tell you how to think” president. We need a humble, God centered president who seeks wisdom before running off at the mouth, someone who loves this nation and surrounds themselves with godly people.

      Ron Paul is NOT a Republican – he is a Libertarian in Republican clothes – and don’t forget it. He is astute in knowing that he could not get elected as a libertarian, not even in his seat as a Representative. He is better than those progressives, the RINO’s like Romney, Huntsman and Perry, that wear Republican clothes.

      You are so correct. They used this as a smoke screen to keep from doing REAL work. It is not Republican vs Democrat. It is politicians vs the people.Congress and Senate have made laws that do not apply to us which puts them above us. Any Congressman that puts a real bill out to correct this is in vain.

        Mr. Ellsworth:
        Nice of you to ask
        No. I am not a democrat, I am a pragmatic registered Republican (mostly independent, since I will vote democrat if it makes more sense)
        My Republican heroes are Teddy Rooselvelt and Eisenhower (not Reagan or Palin)
        I was born in a communist country and I laugh and cry whenever people that know nothing talks about communism and nazism
        I believe that neither party are representing sensible governance.
        I believe we lost our way of hard work and tolerance toward others.
        I believe that this country does not have the vertical mobility it once had
        I believe that government should not interfere in most religious affairs and that Religious organizations should not interfere in government.
        I believe people are being misled by media that no longer present an impartial view of the news, but almost always are given the news a twist to represent their parent’s company point of view (I miss the old days of independent newspeople before Fox Networks)
        I believe we have too many laws (wrong ones) and lawyers
        I believe people can eat, smoke or buy whatever lightbulbs they want (as long as their freedom do not infringe in somebody else’s)
        I also believe that a lot of people that are always making a big deal about GOD are more likely to be the first ones that are willing to violate his laws….you see, I am a Catholic, I do not believe than faith will clean your sins or all is OK because Christ died for our sins…I believe at the end WE ARE ALL JUDGED by our good deeds as well as our bad ones…repenting at the last minute is not enough

        Dorothy: To be exact, their have been 16 bill passed by the Conservative Republican House just dealing with creating jobs alone.

    “…because we were telling the states what to do,”-Rep.Ron Paul, R-TX. With all due respect, Paul is an over-the-hill, senile, nitwit with zero accomplishments in the House of Representative his entire career, and who is the poster boy for Term Limits. His answer of ‘telling the states what to do’ is idiotic, moronic and makes no sense. And anyone who thinks he has the intelligence, temperment and common sense to be President of the United States is delusional, and your contributions to him would be better spent giving to your local ‘no kill’ animal shelter. In my opinion.

    • lonetrader

      Tell us how you really feel Dennis. The reason his bills are not passed is because the rest of Congress is bought and paid for by the elite rich rulers. If you don’t think so, you are more ignorant than any of us.

        And you think because he’s president anything will change? I blogged about his 2 days ago. He will have a moderate Republican congress who will NOT pass his changes, because he has a “my way or the highway” attitude. It will be a do nothing 4 years and we sure as hell don’t need that! We need ACTION! And the RIGHT action! The only hope of changing the moderate congress is through the Tea Party. They are the Eletist Republicans worst frear and they are truly afraid! Indicator? They are not offering one ounce of support for Herman Cain! They want their boy Romney. Does the Tea Party? NOPE!

        • rder

          NEWT GINGRICH! Herman Cain has not one thing to offer as President except his skin color to oppose the current occupant of the White House. He’ll need a teleprompter to stay on message. The United States Government is NOT a corporation or business – which in some ways is bad – then perhaps it would figure out how to make We the People a good return on our investments. This is not a hamburger joint nor a pizza delivery service. Where are the real leaders if you need a man of color to run against Obama, West would make a better candidate than Cain. Cain hasn’t a clue about the Constitution or Foreign Policy. His 999 plan hasn’t a prayer in the House of Representatives – it is like Obama’s “jobs bill” that has never had a chance of passing – it’s just rhetoric to make you think they have something to offer – it’s hardly even lip service.

      A country is only as good it’s beliefs. If one doesn’t think standing up for in God We Trust isn’t a top issue then they don’t and won’t get the backing of a real Christian.

      Real Christian’s will want God in their land and their lives and will proclaim it to the world. How better than in our money with the word’s “In God We Trust” is there?

      None of these people that have spoken up about this issue are ‘shallow’ as you put it. They have spoken from the heart where God dwells in each of His children.

      Without God, America is nothing more than another third world country, sucking up resources and accomplishing nothing for years. This nation was not founded by accident, nor has it achieved what it has without God. Just study history. No way should we have won WWII, on two huge fronts, 1/2 way around the world without God’s direction. There are way to many times things should have turned out bad, but didn’t. That’s not by accident. No, Travis, it’s not shallow on our side, might be on yours. I’d say deap on our side. Our God will not be mocked. You will believe someday. It might be a second before you are sent to hell, but you will believe!

        Have you ever read Roman history – particularly about Cesar, Julius that is? He conquered most of what we now call Germany, France, Switzerland and many other places – always outnumbered – God was not there anymore than he is anywhere else. It’s Leadership, tactics, and men who will follow you to hell and back – and we haven’t had much of that since WWII and so we have lost every “conflict” we’ve entered. If you think we won in Iraq – you are so sadly mistaken. We took out a tyrannical dictator who use weapons of mass destruction (gas and poison) against his own people – but we won nothing – and when we leave at the end of the year we will have simply turned the country over to his enemies the Shiite Cleric Sayyid Muqtadā al-Ṣadr, a descendant from Mohammed through his daughter, who will ally himself with the Shia of Iran – at the moment our worst enemy. Korea we lost, leaving half to the Communists in the North and having to prop up the south for over sixty years now, Vietnam – nothing needs to be said there, Afghanistan – we are not winning – just as the Russians never won – and we’ll leave there with our tail between our legs again, Libya – we killed another tyrant – but have turned the country over to the Muslim’s to install another country under Sharia Law. We have no leadership, we have no moral ground to stand on, our Generals who might have the ability to actually WIN a war with the superior technology and equipment are held in reign by politics and their fear of being fired.

    I don’t particularily agree with Ron Paul in that we do need to recognize God-better to recognize God now than wait and celebrate islam. But I do agree that there are far more important issues that need to be settled in congress bewfore the more frivolous issues of professional baseball or sports are concerned. The economy is the most important issue that should be pressing on the minds of all members of congress but they prefer the more lighter matters.

    • cmbhi

      Why are you putting words into Paul’s mouth? Where did he say we don’t need God? All he said is that we don’t need to reaffirm this again and again, especially since they just did this in 2002.

  • tncdel

    Ron Paul is uneven. On some issues he’s great or at least okay. But on illegal immigration and Islamic encroachment, he’s piss-poor. On this issue though he’s right, according to the “Separation of Church & State” doctrine of the Constitution.

    It’s a shame those who believe in mysticism think it’s okay to UNCONSTITUTIONALLY force those who aren’t into mysticism to accept their nonsense. Further, it’s a LIE to claim “In God We Trust,” when many of the “We” [the People] don’t believe in God.

    • comsense08

      Then don’t deny the folks that do THEIR right! They had it before you claimed yours! You’re the ones who want to change things. The rest of us want you to leave it alone, as it was intended! We are not “forcing” you to do anything. You can spit on that money all you want. Better yet, don’t even use it! That would be best for all of us! But don’t EVER think you have the right to strip us of OUR rights, those rights millions of Americans have fought and died for. Don’t you dare!!!!!

    • cmbhi

      comsense08, since when is having ‘In God We Trust’ on the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank paper a right? Which Bill of Rights amendments does that come from?

      @tncdel You need to look up Ron Paul’s HJ res 46. He is very much against illegal immigration and wrote a bill to end the ‘anchor baby’ lie. Not even Bachmann would support the bill, so she isn’y really against illegals having babies here that can then falsely claim they are American citizens.
      As for Islam, I’m also confused about his position, but I’m much more concerned about our country going under than the Sunni – Shia war that will soon happen in the Middle East. Ron Paul is dedicated to fixing our country first, then we’ll be better able to deal with what is happening far away. If your own house is a mess, you can’t expect to the listened to when telling others their houses need fixing.

    • rder

      There is no such thing as separation of Church and State in any of the Founding documents – the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. There is a clause in the Bill of Rights that CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion – that meant that Congress could not set up a national religion like the Church of England and that is all that clause means. Next it says “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. It doesn’t say you can’t have a nativity creche on the courthouse square, it doesn’t say you cannot have the Ten Commandments posted. It says that CONGRESS shall make no law prohibiting the FREE exercise thereof. Of Course – it’s not Congress that’s prohibiting the free exercise thereof – it is the Supreme Court and the Federal Courts that are making the laws.

    Ron Paul is straight up. He doesn’t have to profess what he believes but he does. And people disrespect him for it. It’s a shame.

    Why Ron Paul is still the BEST Candidate.. NO other Republican comes close.

    Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:

    He has never voted to raise taxes.
    He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
    He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
    He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
    He has never taken a government-paid junket.
    He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
    He voted against the Patriot Act.
    He voted against regulating the Internet.
    He voted against the Iraq war.
    He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

  • Don Jensen

    In God We Trust simply reaffirms that there is something more almighty than ourselves. It makes us more humble. A person who believes in God cannot be subjugated and that’s why all dictators refute God’s existance. A person who believes in God and knows right from wrong in his heart, cannot be radicalized and that’s why liberals deny Him.

    • American Patriot

      Alan,
      In reality it is an insult to God to put His name on worthless jew created and controlled money.

  • http://wordpress usfrog

    As far as I’m concerned, it’s up to us – i.e. WE THE PEOPLE – to reaffirm our motto “In God we Trust”. Why should the government be telling us what to do AGAIN ? That insinuates that we need a LAW to enforce the obvious and that we can’t do this ourselves ? I thought we were going to try to CUT the size of government and its meddling in our lives.

    • rder

      It’s a stupid motto – it’s not a law that’s going to make you do anything. IT’s like “forward ho!” or “Don’t tread on me.” get over this – will you. The vote should never have happened unless it came up to get rid of it and replace it with something else – let’s say – “obama forever” – how does that bell ring with you as a motto. I’m sure Pelosi and Reid would love it.

    We CAN and must trust God. We have removed God from our schools, homes, offices and the Legislature and become liberal, with “political rights” and “free thinking”. Cant you see this? From the time we stopped prayers, took Jesus Christ out of schools etc., allowed the Quaran to be read in Christian churches and allowed foreign gods to enter this sacred nation, we are like a rudderless ship, in a stormy ocean! “Thou shall have no other gods before Me”, says the Lord God of creation. We have also angered God by withdrawing our support to Israel. Why does our God say, in the Bible “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you” (?) Just ASK why all tese earthquakes, unusual storms and cyclones, economic down-turns, wars and young kids running riot is happening!

    “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, I will yet save their nation”. This is a verse from the Bible. Locate it and read and humble yourselves and pray. Its never too late.

    I guess you people havent noticed that the communists are taking God out of everything. Islam and Muslims get more consideration in this country than Christians. To be a Christian today is considered a bad thing. Our religious rights are slipping away with every passing day that the commies in the white house and around this country are allowed to further their agenda. There are millions of vets that fought against this very thing, and i pray that soon it will be open season on the commies and any other enemies of this country, and of Christians.
    Psalm 144:1 Lord, teach my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Christians are not second class citizens and the Bible is full of wars against the enemies of “IN GOD WE TRUST”.
    It is very Christian to fight in the name of THE LORD. LOCK AND LOAD LOVERS OF GOD AND CHRIST.

    • rder

      They are not slipping away – Christians threw them away, stomped on them and spat on them. Take a look around inside most churches today – everything to everybody – that is NOT what the “good book” says – but to separate yourselves – instead the church has brought the world into it’s sanctuary – just look around you at Christmas this year and try to find what the birthday boy is getting out of this – a pagan tree and a dressed up commercial Santa Clause – toys for tots instead of food for the hungry and shelter for the homeless, and comfort to the widows. Tell me about being a Christian today with the whooop te do I seen in most buildings.

He is the only person in washington that is working for ‘WE THE PEOPLE’. just ask yourself a question! why is it that all the positive things that Ron Paul is doing to preserve our freedoms and the only thing the media can come up with is this story? the establishment is running scared because they think the only one who would put an end to the mess is gaining ground and they will do anything to stop him!!!

      Agreed! Mr Paul certainly is not perfect…who is? Out of all of the people running, he is by far the most intelligent, in touch with what’s actually going on, AND…..Mr Paul told us 3 yrs ago where this country was headed with the housing bubble, and the TRILLIONS being handed over at the expense of every hard working American citizen. He told all of us thathe Middle East was about to explode and those in charge of
      our Gov were responsible for driving the American economy over the cliff. Gee, look where we are today….he hasn’t got a crystal ball…..he knows how this story is gonna end. He, had the gonads to at least tell the American people where this was headed, and didn’t sugar coat anything.

Maybe he knows something about God that you don’t. America is going down the drain faster than any other western nation. Washington creates wars. JFK was allowed to die, surely if god loves America he would have foreseen the future and stopped it at all costs. When the American Indians found Jesus Sitting Bull was shot dead with a bullet through the head. Why didn’t Jesus avoid this? As for IGWT on your money remember this. In the old testament Zephaniah 1:7 – 18 God stated “”Wail in sorrow, for all those who buy and sell will die.” If god cared for Americans’ he would not have allowed Obama to set foot in your country to destroy it. He who saves America will save the world and Ron Paul is the only choice.

      Bless you brother!! Unfortunately, we will witness a lot of the horrible aftershocks, from the really bad decisions these “leaders” made. Mr Paul has never backed down from where he stands on issues. I understood where he was coming from, not voting on the “In GOD We Trust”….American has lost her way. Perhaps had American NOT turned her back on GOD, not tried to run this nation without GOD, etc we wouldn’t be in the shape we’re in??????????? I guess that’s the ultimate goal…taking GOD totally out of the equation? How sad is that?

    • rder

      I think it’s not so much we don’t “in God we Trust” – it’s that God has no reason to trust us.

  • KSmith

    I have been supporting Ron Paul. But he should stick with major issues facing the nation.
    Taking an official position on the motto either way will lose votes for a candidate. Also Paul needs to come out stronger against the current occupant of the White House, especially in the ways that Obama has been trashing the nation on constitutional issues.

  • CHARLES WASSERMAN

    This bill is not necessary for the simple fact that the motto is well established and it’s usage was not questioned by anyone.
    This is just a grand standing play by radical republicans who are just trying to make an unnecessary statement.
    They should be spending their energies on more constructive measures such as reducing spending and restoring personal liberties in this country.

    • Tiffani

      Well said!

  • Tiffani

    Wow….. this is it? This is what Conservative Byte finds “news worthy” about Ron Paul? Funny how everything else seems to be ignored. Ron Paul’s run for presidency, for example, his stance on really IMPORTANT issues, his unwavering commitment to the Constitution and to Liberty. I’ve been increasingly disappointed that CB has put itself in line with every other media outlet in their treatment of RP.

    If we Americans really understood the Constitution, this would be a non-issue for us as well. Who cares if the motto is on our coins…. You can wear a label claiming to be something, but that doesn’t make it true! Does America really trust in God? I wish I could say so, but it doesn’t even allow Bibles at schools, teachers are fired for talking about Him, and everyday there is a new story here or there about monuments (Mt. Soledad cross for instance) in danger of being taken down. Sad. Sounds more like taking His name in vain to me.

    Is that not a switch or what.the goverment has been forcing us to do thing and telling us what to do on a daily bases.the vote was cast in the triditional way the american way.hats off to them.glad someone somewhere in goverment is trying to keep god in our nation we are lost without him.

  • Martin Fee

    It seems to me Dr Paul is trying to pander to as many fringe elements as possible. Pot Smokers, Anti Religious people, Etc. This has nothing to do with States Rights, The official motto of the US is NOT a State issue but actually one of the few federal issues that actually exist.
    I am all for states rights. Under the Constitution some things are up to the Federal Government, Some to the States and Some to the people. This is not like Obamacare where the feds are mandating states comply with something that is not theirs to mandate.
    Dr Paul needs to stay in Congress and out of the White House. He has some good ideas but some are just not feasable in the 21st century. Not with global trade and global instant communication. Isolationism will not work in todays business and trade enviroment

    • Mike P

  • William

    wELL RON PAUL HAS JUST TURN ME OFF OF HIM FOR GOOD. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE THAT MOTTO, THAT IS WHAT OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. IF RON PAUL BELIEVES THAT WAY THEN HE DOEST’S NEED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE ONE LIKE THAT NOW.

  • Bet Rily

    Ron Paul is a true Statesman. Our Founders would be ashamed at us for this trivial bickering over issues that in the grand scheme mean nothing. If you trust in God then what difference does it make whether or not a motto remains on our FIAT dollar? What should matter is that our value and purchasing power of our dollar dissipates every day. Who else other than Ron Paul is tirelessly trying to change that reality? Who holds higher moral ground with regard to ending the USs perpetual war machine that results in the deaths of our soldiers and countless innocents? Who else wants to preserve your God given rights to freedom? I’m not a Christian by choice but I was raised as one. And although I have found another “way” I do know that Jesus preached LOVE…and by the looks of the many posts I see…you all need more LOVE and compassion. Remember…do not judge for it will be you are judged…and one more thing…LOVE THY ENEMY!

  • Mike Thompson

    Ron Paul says he understands the Constitution and what the Founders meant. He does not and there is no way anywhere that I would now ever vote for him. I had started to consider him, but that is now gone. As President John Adams told us: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” This is why we are not working now, because we are no longer a moral and religious people. And, people like Ron Paul make it even worse. He is no better than an atheist.

  • BillK

    “In God We Trust” is better than “In the Congress We Trust” or “In The president We Trust” or “In Ron Paul We Trust.” He once again proves his true self.

  • Chet

    In 1962 we told God to get out of the schools and being the Gentleman that he is he left. The condition of our schools now is beyond the words to describe how terrrible they have become. Now we are kicking him off the money, notice any similarity. The most powerful nation in the world is bankrupt. Then we threw the 10 commandments out of government, and now we the people are being led by the most immoral, corrupt group of losers on the planet. See a pattern here. Time for the states to tell the fed to go to hell. The constitution has given all of the power to the sates and they gave it away, another corrupt crowd. Next they will try to throw Israel to the dogs but God has another plan, but first they will try to disarm us. Charlton Hestons famous line should apply to all patriots. (Look it up).

    I oppose Ron Paul, they have been trying to take out In God We Trust for sometime now. I for one am glad to see the bill went through and they stood their ground for God in America. Maybe God had his hand in this bill ……smile…. Letting us know he is with us and fighting right along with us.
    God bless America

    • rder

      You may have In God We Trust on your Federal Reserve Notes – they are not US money anyway – we gave up our US money when the Central Baking system we know as the Federal Reserve was established under Wilson and his banking cronies. The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE central bank – and why the US Government cannot get it’s grips on balancing the budget – it has no control over the money supply – and no oversight over the bank.

  • Chris

    Sorry, but Ron Paul is the only guy who has been saying we need to get OUT of the UN, and he’s right. The UN is the most evil and anti-American institution on the face of the Earth. We entered every war since WWII because a UN resolution demanded it and the U.S. agreed, a long time ago, to do what ever the UN Security Council says. The UN wants war, the US goes to war. The UN wants the US to pay for their wars, we pay for their wars; with our taxes, the blood of our children and the erosion of our liberties. Listen to what Ron Paul is saying and don’t “read anything into” what he says. He is not anti-Christian. He is Pro-United States Constitution and anti-United Nations (the evil pact that was created by two, yes, only two communists!) The UN is raping and stealing from America and Ron Paul is the ONLY guy who sees this in the GOP.
    You don’t like Ron Paul? Okay. Do you like the traitor Obama better?

    • Barb

      I can’t stand obama. Ron Paul started out as a liberal and from everything that I have listen to him speak on he still sounds to liberal for me.This is just my opinion
      I don’t like his idea of allowing Iran nukealur power. Why did we fight with the Russians to down size their nukes?
      I also didn’t like it when he said why can’t everyone just get along. Sure I’d like to see a peaceful world too but it is not that way. Case in point we can’t even have a conversation on here of our own point of views without someone being nasty about it.
      Paul also is for open borders. America is broke there are 14 million people without a job, there are a sum of 400,000 people being laid off weekly. Every person that gets laid off takes away from Americas support system that our government put into place. Every welfare program, Soical Sercuity, Medicare, medicaid, food stamps and the list goes on.
      I agree that our government is way to large and needs to be trimmed down by as much as 3/4 of what it is.
      We need to put an end to lobbyist. Cut down on so many laws. Every time you turn around there’s a new law. Like the one that we can no longer grow our own food.
      We do need to go back to the constitution.
      There is not one person running for president that I want for president. For me there’s not going to be a real choice it’s good verses evil and right now theirs not one person running that has even remotely touch on real issues America has.
      Not one has touched stating they would stop Shaira law from being used in our court system.

      • rder

    ““I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.”

    -Ron Paul

    My faith is a deeply private issue to me, and I don’t speak on it in great detail during my speeches because I want to avoid any appearance of exploiting it for political gain. Let me be very clear here: I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.

    It is God Who gave us life. As He is free, so are those He created in His image. Our rights to life and liberty are inalienable.

    I’m running for President of the United States because I believe that our traditions and way of life are under attack from an out-of-control federal government and reckless politicians who show no regard for what our Founders entrusted to our protection.

    America became the greatest nation in human history because a dedicated band of Patriots believed their God-given rights were worth fighting for, even if it meant challenging the world’s most powerful nation in what many deemed a “hopeless” cause.

    Being free meant so much to our forefathers that they put everything on the line – and thousands sacrificed their lives – to give the promise of liberty to not only their children and grandchildren, but to generations they knew they would never even meet.

    Their courage and determination guaranteed they would defy the odds and achieve victory.

    In this critical election, you and I must decide if the principles of limited government and personal freedom are worth fighting for once again.

    Since I’m asking for your vote and your trust to lead this nation, let me tell you a little bit about my background and beliefs.”

  • Politicalpony

    I’m not going to tell you that I like it. But, constitutionally speaking, Ron Paul might be correct once again. One of the first comments posted “is he do into states rights…”. Answer, YES and as he and we all should be. If you are that concerned about how far we should take the “states rights” then you don’t know the constitution as well as you should and need. This, the states rights is the most basic principles in our constitution. When the Founders framed the constitution, the states had to be convinced of going along with the plan. Thus the ratification process. There for but only a few tasks. The “Enumerated Powers” and a few particular clauses. It is the States rights to determine many things. Constitutionally speaking, the Federal government takes a back seat to most everything the states decide to do. The states are the rightful identity in charge. But, the Supreme Court a portion of the federal government has far over reached it’s bounds of power. Far to many people have trouble understanding the concept between the powers of the states and the limited powers of the federal central government. Here is how one must view our country and form of government in the simplest of notions. The colonies became states, states are single entities “countries”. They joined to create a more perfect union. But when doing so the refused to give up complete sovereignty. Together they are to sit at the table and make decisions among themselves. Each one will either agree or disagree. Today our federal government has through usurpation disconnected it self from the states and has become a living breathing animal of it’s own. It has taken all power from the states. It does as it sees fit. The people we have sent to Washington either have no concept of our constitution or like Obama, knows the constitution and wilfully tramples it for more power. This issue with the motto, although I like the idea of having it as well, should be left to the states perhaps. For starters, we don’t have many people in congress that are fit enough to make any constitutional decisions, never mind place a vote on the peoples behalf. I hope this helps some of you to have a better understanding the roll of our governments are to play. If you don’t know whats in it, how do you ever expect to fix it.

    • terry callahan

      POLITICALPONY: You are correct in your point about states rights verses fed rights. However, the reason this whole vote came up about confirming the national motto was quite simply because our CLUELESS comrade-in-chief went abroad and told people in a speech that our national motto was “E PLURIBUS UNUM” –out of many, one– Congress figured if this clueless pinhead obama was this stupid maybe we should affirm our actual motto loud and clear so he will stop going abroad and embarrassing us every time he opens his fat stupid yap.

  • DocDave

    Paul is very much for “In God we trust” but he stands on principle by not being for demanding the states go along with it, because The 10th Amendment does NOT authorize it. Some people are about as thick as a brick in the head. I suspect it is from watching the “tube for boobs”, the “idiot box” instead of reading.

    Ron Paul’s ideas are Mainstream Americana. He is a student of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, other Founders, and The Holy Bible.

    “Put not your trust Princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.”
    Psalm 146:3

    Compare and Contrast the biblical reference above with Jefferson’s extrapolation below.

    “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” Thomas Jefferson

    I invite you to realize that a modern day Thomas Jefferson lives today; his name is Ron Paul.

    http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/statement-of-faith/

    Ron Paul has done a talk based on 1st Samuel Chapter 8. He describes how
    the Israelites wanted a king ( big and authoritarian government), but Samuel warned them against placing their trust in a king.

    “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” Lord Acton

    “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” Patrick Henry

    “It’s important to realize that whenever you give power to politicians or bureaucrats, it will be used for what they want, not for what you want.” Harry Brown

    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” Cicero

    We can’t keep on going more and more in debt to Red China to enable our politicians to send our sons and daughters, and our treasure to fund multiple wars/police actions and to occupy over 150 countries. We have to STOP it Now or America is going to collapse and fall apart.

    Ron Reagan was wise in watching the Soviet Union over reach it’s best interests and collapse and fall apart.

    Are we as a nation going to learn from Ron Reagan, the lesson that the Red Chinese are using against you and your children as they buy up our debt secured by our national treasures?

    Ron Paul learned this lesson from Ron Reagan and he has been explaining it to America for a long time, and few were listening then, but now people are listening and acting accordingly to Restore America.

    I pray you will. And I pray you will help share this message with your family, your friends, and your neighbors and of all America.

    Have you not noticed the empty shills who are running against Dr. Paul and how the main stream media bends over backwards to marginalize Ron Paul. For the sake of America I implore you to listen to Ron Paul speak on the issues, especially the ones that really count in our pocketbooks; the economic issues and the bankers who have all but ruined our country and any politician who supported any bail out of Wall Street and the banks at We The People’s expense.

    Have you seen as much of any kind of grassroots support for Romney or Perry or Bachmann or Cain? Well, have you? What do these Americans just like most of us know that you might not have realized yet? Is the main stream media not aware of the multitudes of Americans that support Ron Paul? Of course they are. But these talking heads would lose their jobs if they told the truth. Think about this, that we no longer can trust the main stream media because they often lie.

    Can your children, your progeny all good Americans depend on you to Restore America on Primary Day?

    For America, for our Republic. wake up and save your country. Vote for Ron Paul for President in your Primary.

    God Bless You and God Bless America.

    Once again, Paul is right. He’s trying to give you the very thing you say you want – smaller Federal government. Yet, like most of my “Christian” friends, you contradict yourselves and run to the government to mandate things like this. You cannot legislate people into being moral. I doubt God loves us because we put His name on our money. I’m guessing He’d rather be in our hearts. But heck, what do I know, right?

  • Matt O

    Hey hypocrite saying Ron Paul is wacko… If the government can force everyone to accept a good motto as “In God We Trust” which I have no problem with whatsoever, then they can also enforce laws or motto’s you may not like or agree with. This also brings up separation of church and state… God is part of church. Also don’t forget the federal government took God out of schools. I am a christian but I understand where Ron Paul is coming from on this and where he is coming from on a lot of his stances… Look beyond the the surface of here and now people. I know it sounds a little crazy and offensive at first but dig a little deeper and you will understand where he is coming from. every road leads to somewhere and new roads for the federal government seldom lead anywhere good.

    does our nation really trust in God or government to fix what is wrong with this nation? since it has be found that only 35% are considered Christians, does that sound like a nation were God comes first. Look at all the homosexuals and atheist in America today. “All men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator….religon and good morals are the only foundation of public liberty and happiness.” Sameul Adams All Ron Paul is saying is we don’t have to pass a bill declaring In God We Trust if we really do trust in God. The way we live our lives and obey God’s laws should speak volumes. ” The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and regulate your life by its precepts. ‘ John Jay I honestly believe we further this country moves away from God the closer we move toward Satanism.

      Bob Marshall: Surely you are not going to deify Ron Paul like Donnie and Roger do??? I’m beginning to think Ron Paul is the Anti-Christ with so many people comparing him to Jesus. He is only a man just like the rest of us…he may even be a little smarter…I’ll give you that…but he is not God!!!!!

  • bob vinton

    used to be for Ron Paul,but he is not my presidential candidate,he may be fiscally conservative,but not sure about morally

  • amarica

    I am sad to see this taking place. I understand why Ron Paul is taking this stand, and that is because he wants to see us take away much of the power of the Federal government that is destroying our nation. The States were originally created as individual states united in purpose and cause, yet with each one retaining its sovereignty. The Federal government had limited powers and those that were not given to it by The Constitution were reserved explicitely for the sovereign and We The People. He understands that each law the Federal government passes must be made within the boundaries designated to them under the Constitution. He understand the Constitution very well. The Federal government has no legal Constitutional rights to do much of what it has already done. Just as there is no Constitutional provision for our money to be printed by our Treasury, delivered up to a private corporation (The Federal Reserve – which is not a government agency), and then loaned back to the united States with interest. The Federal government is out of control and is devouring our country like a cancer. I can see people will not understand this position he is taking and they will look at it and not see how badly we need someone like Ron Paul with the courage to take the steps to restore State’s rights and in so doing restore We the People to a position that the government again works for us and not the other way around. I personally would like to see “In God We Trust” remain on our currency, but if it cannot be done by adherence to the Constitution, then it would be one more tool the Federal government may use to grow more muscle. Most important, we need to use the Buy Back clause as written in the original agreement with the Federal Reserve. For one billion dollars, we eliminate the Federal Reserve and the 13 Trillion dollars of debt that they would have to absorb. We keep our assets. We print our own money and directly distribute it to the banks and bypass the Feds. We exchange all Federal Reserve notes on an even basis for 5 years giving everyone a chance to escape the Federal Fraud notes. We also need to clean house in the CIA and FBI as well as elect those who stand up for the Constitution. Unless these things are done, this country will fall, of that there is no doubt.

      Yea, GladysMP, He does say that he believes in God but when he is out at the gay bars in Austin having “fun” he still says he believes in God. Get a life, Perry is a scumbag posing as a Christian to fool people like you into voting for him. There is a lot behind the scenes that is not known about him and a lot of Christians are as gullible as they come.

  • Matt O

    also why don’t they vote to have that as the Federal Governments motto and let the states vote on their own motto? That’s how it’s suppose to be anyway. We are the United STATES of America. This means we are 50 differnt little countries so to say

  • Joe

    In my state, we can purchase “In God We Trust” license plates. I have opted not to pay the extra money to get one. Why? Although God is at least spelled with a capital “G,” it does not specify which God (or god). Is it the Triune God? Is it Allah? Is it Zeus? Is it whatever the flavor-of-the-month golden calf happens to be? Any god other than the Triune God is really making one’s self god (First Commandment). If I could purchase an “In Christ We Trust” or “In the Triune God We Trust” plate, then I would consider having one. On the other hand, I can’t articulate the faith of my neighbor. Yes, “I” trust in Christ, but “we” is a little presumptuous.

    In the “all paths lead to the same Heaven” pluralism of today, I don’t think it makes much difference what money, a monument, or a license plate says. I recall my Bible saying in red words something about rendering unto Caesar. Whatever happens in the earthly kingdom, the ultimate home to someone in Christ is not here in this sinful world. God used St. Paul’s citizenship of the evil Roman Empire to save his rear-end or make a point a time or two.

    Instead of bad-mouthing Ron Paul, perhaps we should see that he wants to improve the left kingdom by freeing us from the slavery of usury, brought to you by the central banking/fractional reserve lending system. Although JFK’s zipper trouble was shameful, he was the last guy to take on the Fed. One of the few things Congress is charged with doing, the coining of money, was given away to a system whose people are unaccountable from the Land of Rothschild. Our money should more accurately read, “Printed by the Synagogue of Satan,” for their god is money. Oops, it already does. It reads, “Federal Reserve Note.”

    Let’s see how many Christians march off to the polls like good little Republicans and pull the lever for a Trinity-denying Mormon (who will proudly tell you of his trust in God), because he can possibly beat Obama. It looks like two sides of the same “coin” to me, pun intended. Perhaps we should do Ron Paul a favor and not elect him, so he doesn’t suffer the same fate as JFK and other Presidents who tried to cut the Federal Reserve’s tentacles on this country.

How about the money itself? Isn’t the government forcing us to use the money they mint? What the heck is wrong with having a national motto for Pete’s sake.

  • http://www.pepper.net Pepper

    (most of) You people are effin MORONS. (almost) Every last one of you.

    There is one candidate, ONE, who has the guts to actually stand up and say what’s wrong with the path that we are on, and what needs to be done about it. For that, you IDIOTS continually rip him and people who support him.

    Perhaps if you had ONE SHRED of COMMON SENSE you would see that our federal government has become a monstrosity and continually tramples on the Constitution, the meager respect it gets here and there being the only thing that’s kept us from complete dictatorship thus far.

    Did any of you actually READ the piece of legislation. Of course not. But every one of you has enough legal expertise to proclaim that Ron Paul is stupid for opposing it. Let me tell you something. Ron Paul loves this country and its people. If he is against something there is a very simple explanation. It is against the Constitution. Period, end of story.

    Ron’s job in Congress is very easy because he chooses the right path. These guys write a 4000 page bill, everybody complains that they didn’t read it before they passed it. Ron reads maybe two or three sentences. That’s all it takes. There will be something unconstitutional in those three sentences, so he can vote against the bill. Next.

    You who accuse Ron of being wishy washy or inconsistent, get some perspective. It probably looks that way to you because of the cognitive dissonance of YOU being simultaneously pro-life AND pro-war AND wanting smaller government but ALSO wanting the war on drugs to continue. You are BIPOLAR NUTCASES of the HIGHEST ORDER, enough of which were STUPID enough to think Barack Obama was a good idea, and the SHEEP in this country get every bit of the government they deserve.

  • Burkely

    The 1st Amendment guarantees the “freedom of religion.” The motto on the coin I believe says the government endorses a religion, which would lean toward Christianity. This means the motto is unconstitutional. So I believe Rep. Ron Paul participated in a noble act by opposing this legislation.

  • david d hoffman

    the only thing that concerns me with Mr. Paul is his stand on nuclear weapons, believing countries have a right to them, sorry but I cannot abide with that, with millions of lives at stake
    that is insane. While it may take a one world government to abolish them completely, that’s a pill I could never swallow, It is the responsibility of nations such as the USA to keep these weapons in check, for all of mankind, since sadly it was the USA who let that genie out, right or wrong we own that responsibility.

      • Johnnygard

        So far, no terrorist nations have nukes fully developed. When Iran gets them, they won’t use them themselves. They will give or sell a couple to terrorists that will put them on ships, one near each of our coasts, and use short range missiles or just blow them up in port. Short range missiles exploding in the atmosphere a few hundred miles in from the coasts would wipe out just about everything with a computer chip in this country. No radio communications, no computers, no late model cars running, no grid power, etc.

    Most of the comments on here that are against Ron Paul show a lack of understanding of what he was actually saying and make me ashamed of the conservatives today. I have always considered myself one also, having grown up in a republican home and always having a love of the Constitution , but I find myself at odds with most conservatives today because of their complete ignorance of our founding documents. Being a friend of Ron and his family and knowing where he is coming from in this, I realize how so many have lost touch. He, in his comments on this as with all of his voting was simply sticking with our Constitution which does not give the authority to the Federal government to dictate to the states what they do. It is not that he does not believe in this motto at all. can’t you people see a statesman when he is in front of you? it does not matter that it has been a motto for years, he would not want to force anything onto the states when they have the choice to do it themselves. Everybody is complaining about the feds having too much power but can not see the forest for the trees. Wake up and look for yourselves instead of letting the media tell you what to think. Ron is Presidential material, just not like the losers we have had for so long. We have a chance to get back to great leaders who let the people think for themselves and to be free again from government but I fear the masses are too far gone to recognize it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise there of. Also it has nothing to do with authority delegated to to congress to regulate interstate commerce. Thus, a completely unauthorized useless vote and a distraction. Don’t we already use that motto on the currency issued by the private federal reserve bank anyway? If you don’t agree then vote for tax tax tax former federal reserve chairman Herman Cain, or al gores campaign manager for the state of Texas Rick the ex democrat Perry or flip flop progressive mitt romney, global warming newt gengrich or any of the remaining chicken hawk candidates. If you want to end the irs balance the budget minimize government and stop getting into a new war every year or so vote ronpaul2012

  • KennyB

    Most of you who are talking down on Dr. Paul need to do your homework. Ron Paul is a true constitutionalist. He has no problem with the motto, but what he does have a problem with is the federal government forcing the states to accept it. The federal government does not have power over the states, but the states do have the power over the federal government, according to the constitution. If you look at all of Ron Paul’s actions, of which most people misinterpret his true motives because they don’t know their constitution. All of his decisions are true to the constitution and we are either for it 100% as he is or we can leave it up to each president, such as Obama to pick and choose what parts are good and which one are not. We cannot sidestep even one little spec from our constitution, (if we can even get back to it). This is the reason our country is in the condition it is now, because we the people have allowed administration after administration to get by with more and more. So I would think again about giving Dr. Paul a hard time for being only one of a few true constitutionalist and patriot.

    I would suggest that everyone read the book, The Eagle and the Shield, a book released for the 1976 bi centennial. It is a GOVERNMENT publication. There is the story and documentation of how ‘In God We Trust’ was eventually engraved on our coinage and then all our currency. From the time of Abraham Lincoln until President Eisenhower the motto was used and then made official by the Congress in the mid 1950s.
    If we are going to allow our elected dimwits open every law every passed and change them to be politically correct, then let us start with Abortion, the pre-meditated murder of unborn babies. Until we Americans deal with this issue of covering our conscience and giving women an excuse to dispose of their children before they are out of the womb, then we are a nation ready to fall, just like Rome.
    Mr. Paul, you are wrong and the issue is important, if not for anything else but to defend the LORD GOD in this godless country that we live in. This is not politics; this is about life after life. Maybe America can’t handle it. I would hope not for our nation’s sake. God Bless.

    • Politicalpony

      abortion isn’t a law. It’s a mandate from the Supreme Court. Also I’ll mention, any law unconstitutional is not law at all and should be denied by the people to be recognized as such. Even if necessary by means of civil disobedience. Unfortunately we have a bunch of tyrants in DC that understand no other message.

  • Audi

    In my opinion, having “In God We Trust” on our money dances dangerously on violation of the 2nd Commandment. Undeniably, this nation worships the “Almighty Dollar”, and tying the name of our Lord to objects that are worshiped and are the root (or catalyst) of such pervasive evil in the world is horrific.

    All I see here are a bunch of knee-jerk reactions and a ridiculous premise that if we somehow removed “In God We Trust” from our false idols, somehow that would mean we don’t trust in God.

    Pathetic.

  • Larry Swicegood

    Ron Paul’s ill advised misinderstanding of Islam and the dangers this religion is to American democracy has kept me from considering him for the nominee for the Republican party as president. But when I learned he was against our national motto,”IN GOD WE TRUST,” then I realized just how dangerous this man really is, even if he is a conservative. I guess the next thing we’ll learn about him is, he agrees with those who think God’s name is unconstitutional. It’s becoming more and more evident that far to many people have forgotten that it is by God’s Grace and only His Grace that America still stands today. You’re not a true conservative if you believe otherwise, because it was our forefathers faith in the God of Grace that gave us this country in thr first place.

    • Politicalpony

      “Ron Paul’s ill advised misinderstanding of Islam and the dangers this religion is to American…”

      This is where people need to understand the constitution better. Ron Paul understands that Islam is unconstitutional. Therefore the constitution when used as intended will fix this problem with out the help of congress. How? Simple. The constitution is the Supreme Law. In other words any law unconstitutional is not a law. Therefore Sharia can never be enacted in this country. If we run a constitutional government “which we are not at this time” Sharia, not by congress or the courts could ever be implemented and used. This being the case, the Muslims of the world would understand they have no use in coming here and trying to play out Caliphate. It’s that simple. Just abide by the laws of the constitution. Believe it or not once you understand the constitution it’s very simple to follow. There are a lot of things you can do and very few that you can’t. It’s just knowing what’s what and then acting accordingly.

    What a bunch of WACKOS who wrote their hatred and sure lack of intellegence about Ron Paul and his States rights stance regarding “In God We Trust” motto that came about a 100 years after this nations founding. You responders sure have got this thing so screwed up. Of course what is one to supect for a government run educational system. I have been reading reports of Congress and the President and their unknown to the public conversations on the House & Senate floors for over thirty years and have gone back into those archival records from their start. What God are they refering to? It sure is not the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. It is not Jesus Christ. The God in the motto refers to non other than Lucifer. Belief it or not, do some research and you will find it in goverment records from the words of the Congressman and his supporters who origionally introduced the first act to add it to our money many years ago. It is there, go to the government achives yourself and you will see many things that are not as they seem.

    The only way out of this mess and to prevent future relapses is to return to the priciples of the Constitution in the tradition of our Founding Fathers and the Bill of Rights in their purity and there is only one person who has that stand and commitment to do just that. Guess who that is?

  • the Rock

    This is why Ron Paul can never make it to the finish line. He stands for good ideas fights a conservative fight then says something assinine that totally reveals his whacked ideals. We need to send a message to the other two branches of government, the Senate, the people of this
    country, and the World that ” In God We Trust”. We are not subjected to will of Sharia, The UN, The Communist Party, or the Illuminati. We are free Americans under God Almighty and we will “Refresh the Tree of Liberty” to keep our Freedom.

    • http://www.pepper.net Pepper

      It only seems assinine because your first instinct is to act out emotionally rather than using logical thought processes. Read what he’s actually said, research the issue for yourself and think it through logically and how it fits with the founding documents. Then come back and tell me it’s assinine, if you honestly still think it is.

  • Sam

    It really doesn’t matter what Ron Paul stands for or doesn’t stand for. Even though he does express some ideas that would be good if they could become law, he couldn’t pull them off by himself even if he did become president. But we’ll never know, because he won’t be nominated by the GOP. He’s not one of the “good old boys” of the Republican Party. I just hope he doesn’t do a Ross Perot, and ruin any chance a more mainstream conservative will have of upsetting Obama in 2012.

    There’s something incredibly disturbing about having “In God We Trust” on a piece of paper being used to pay for an abortion.

    There’s something incredibly disturbing about having “In God We Trust” all over the buildings of a government that actively snuffs out the lives of innocent men, women, and children around the world.

    There’s something incredibly disturbing about having “In God We Trust” be some sort of requirement for (so called) Christians to be reminded of their trust and love for Christ Jesus.

    If Ron Paul’s statement really bothers you, I strongly suggest you reassess your Faith and ask yourself: “Why do I need this statement on my money? Why do I need this statement on my children’s schools? If it were not there, would it make my trust in God any less real or true?”

  • Politicalpony

    I can’t believe so many people are so ignorant to our constitution after all we have been through these past three years! Where the heck you people been? Didn’t anyone bother to learn the constitution and what it means, says and stands for? !!!! If you don’t know whats in it how do you expect to fix it. Most of you are running blindly into more of the same old crap we have been dealing with. This is why we are in the sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in! Most of the posts in here seem to be from people that THINK they know what they are talking about. You all sound like a bunch of sheep that should might as well be following and voting for Obama. Probably more than half of you voted for Obama. I never dreamed that the American people would be so stupid or gullible as to vote for that Marxist. I chalk it up to a lot of voter fraud but I also chalk it up to a bunch of uninformed and Ill informed people! And it seems to me far to many of you haven’t learned the things you need to learn to turn this country around. No, let me restate that. Reset the country. Reset the constitution!

    • the Rock

      This isn’t about the 10th amendment being violated, its about standing up as a christian nation. If we can’t ever do that again because we are so polictically correct and open minded, then we deserve to be divided and conqurered by our politically correct enemies from within. I find living surrounded by Godless, open minded fair individuals to be dangerous to my freedom.

  • Doff Trolio

    May Ron Paul and his kind go to Hell. We the people Will and Shall win.

    • CLOD MCGOO

      To Doff Trolio. What an awful thing to wish upon even your worst enemy. Hell is a horrible place and it is a real place. It was created for the devil and his angels and not for mankind. However, God will indeed, cast every Christ rejector into this eternal flame. You Doff TRolio, do not have to be cast there when you die.

      Basically there are four things God wants you to know:
      1) Your need to be saved. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” John 3:3 Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death–”

      2) You cannot save yourself. Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy he saved us–” Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

      3) God has provided for your salvation. John 3:16,17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 10:28 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.”
      4) You must receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Acts 16:31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.” John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”

      The Lord Jesus Christ was the only perfect sacrifice for sin because He had no sin of His own. When He died, He paid your penalty for your sin. He loves you and He wants you to be one of His children. If you would, right now, just bow your head and in your own words, tell God that you want to be saved from the penalty of your sin and you want His free gift of eternal life.

      I did that when I was eight years old, (68 years ago) and He saved me, gave me eternal life and has led me ever since. He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

      In addition to the above scripture verses let me suggest that you read the first three chapters of John and the first chapter of Romans. The first three chapters of John describe who God is and what He has done for us. The first chapter of Romans describes what mankind has done and what God thinks of us.

  • Duane Bass

    Ron Paul is honest ethical, and constitutional.

    He would lead the country in a good direction. . .

        Ron Paul is a Christian and I am one too. Are you implying otherwise?

        Being Christian doesn’t mean forcibly coercing people to morality. To try to do that brings you to the level of the Sharia Muslims.

    I also want to mention – How did Texas wined up with Perry and Paul ? I sense their campaign promises are all about votes, money. After learning so much about the tax rip offs the U.S. tax payers have been through, the closed door sessions, loop holes, under the table agreement I fail to see “any government official ” that have been concerned about the people on social security/disability , that have worked and paid their fair share in taxes. Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. ……….Things are changing.

  • Ann Covington

    Ron Paul’s reason for opposing the bill is a typical politically correct response. Always looking for a loophole into which one can feel safe in getting around what one truly thinks.

    Just an fyi for those of you disturbed by the slop the media’s putting out about Mr.Cain, in my years of working in offices, I’ve seen firsthand what happens in these so-called harassments. A secretary gets transferred to work in another department for a very eligible bachelor. Within days she goes from wearing typically conservative clothes to short leather skirts, etc. Less than a year later, she disappears, a lawsuit is threatened–the bachelor was “harassing” her. Reputable company gives her a paid half-year off, plus a huge settlement. Bachelor, totally innocent only because of disinterest in that particular woman, gets fired. Few months later, back comes the secretary, very neatly attired in typical conservative clothes.

    This is a very common occurrence, ever since the ACLU and feminists decided that for a man to even tell an employee that she looks terrific or that’s a beautiful suit or dress, etc., is grounds to scream sexual harassment at the poor fellow. I have seen oh so much on the part of women, from their 20s into their 50s, being aggressively flirty, but it’s the men who are accused of harassment.

    Also, regarding Mr.Cain, the settlements included a “never publicize” provision, which those “poor put-upon” women now have breached. When are we going to stop being lemmings when it comes to a conservativec “suddenly” being attacked like that????

    Ron Paul is PRO ANYTHING GOES: prostitution, drugs, lifestyle and ANTI-ANYTHING that tells you what to do. He says he’s 100% biblical. He lies. Our country was founded on Biblical morality, right and wrong. RP might as well put the ACLU in charge of the Federal government. Man’s relative view of right and wrong will send us into anarchy. He’s a deluded grumpy old man. Vote for him and you get Obama another four years. We are dead as a republic. Cain, Perry Bachmann all are based upon Biblical values and want limited government. Stop listening to the media and go to: http://www.ontheissues.org and take their candidate quiz.

        I “like” the canidates. Bauchman, Romney, Cain, Santorium, Huntsman, sometimes even Gingrich. So that does NOT mean they are the ones. We need a George Washington NOW! That best pick IS Ron Paul. He knows more of what’s going on under the facade than ANY of the others. He’s is the only one that can take this Beast on. Don’t let his size, age and fool you. He works out regularly. Anyone just hug the man? No? There is quite a hard body under those suits. Take the meaning as written. And don’t twist my words and make it inappropriate. Would only be showing your adolscent age.

    Ron Paul-what a card! he and his son Rand,say they stand for our Constitution! Yet not a word mentioned about the ineligibility under our Constitution,that obama the illegal alien muslim/communist fraudulent treasonous POS is null and void. Ron Paul does have a couple good ideas. But his ideas on Iran,that they should be entitled to nuclear weapons does not make one feel to secure. Or,the fact the Russians are supporting his campaign. His idea we should be tolerant to Islam. Could go on,but in my opinion,he is not what the United States of America needs.

    The “motto” was installed because politicans thought they could be more appealing to the voters if they supported something most voters accept. If they had decreed “Mom and Apple Pie” must be said at every gathering a large bunch of voters would have said, yes that is what we want. To trust what has no sensory evidence to support its existence is to trust what we cannot see, cannot hear, cannot smell or touch. As Reagan said, “Trust but verify”.

    This is an example of why I can’t support Libertarians.

  • JoeBlowe

    Dr. Paul is, once again, as usual, exactly correct. I, for one, do NOT trust in God. Not even Thor – and he’s a WAY better God than the invisible wussy most people talk about. There are to be NO – that means NONE, NADA, ZERO laws passed regarding an establishment of religion. That means this law is unconstitutional. It’s also WRONG – totally and completely WRONG. This is NOT a “Christian nation,” and only an idiot (or a religious zealot who wants desperately to force his beliefs on others so (s)he will have company in their embarrassing foolishness) would insist that it is. Church and state MUST be kept totally separate or the United States could very well end up a Muslim country. Think about THAT you fools and be very afraid.

  • Pat

    Ron Paul is a libertarian extremist. I am a conservative and believe in states rights
    as opposed to a strong federal government, but this country was not established to
    work as a three party system. If Ron Paul should decide to run on a third party ticket,
    it will be the ultimate selfishness as it will assure the re-election of the most dangerous
    president this country has ever had. His largest support is from young people who don’t
    want to defend this country in a war and would also like to see the legalization of drugs
    which is one of the tennents of the libertarian party.

  • Cyborg

    Ron Paul is wrong for the corresponding reasons cited by others above.
    Others are also right about this nation being founded with constant reference to God as well as the principles of the Ten Commandments,
    The Continued inclusion of the words in “God We Trust” is a reminder, just as a nations Flag serves as its Symbol.
    It is those that followed the Bible, Catholic, Protestant, Judaic faiths that provided the principles of societal interaction through the centuries and provided the foundation upon which the United States was created and prospered.
    It is necessary to continue, support and respect those faiths here in the US. It is they that currently provide all exposure to all economic levels of the concepts of morality, honesty, integrity, ethics, respect and even self esteem. This is done through the beliefs, teaching and practices of their Faith and belief in God. Nowhere in our system of laws, or primary, elementary, secondary schools is that taught.
    A cursory look at programs broadcast on 95% of the channels provides proof of the sad state of TV / Cable entertainment. Courtship has been replaced by instant casual sex, the glorification of various drugs and alcohol and even being rewarded for cheating and stealing on some survivor type programs.

      Amen to that. Remember what Reagan said ” A nation no longer under God is a nation gone under” As Americans we should embrace that and if we can’t bring ourselves to do that don’t even bother to fight because won’t matter if the Almighty’s blessing has left us.

      To kabster — The phrase “separation of church and state” is not found in either the Constitution or the Bill of Rights” The 1st ammendment says, that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or the prohibiting of religion. That is not a direct quote but basically it says Government must “keep their nose out of the church’s business”

I believe also that government leans toward denying Christians and Jews their freedom of religion and giving it to atheists. They are choosing atheism over the faith of our fathers.

  • teaman

    This was not about re-affirming a MOTTO. It was all about reminding us of our roots and that those roots came from Christianity and Godly principals. Our system of government(which the perverted liberal left wants desperately to destroy) is totally derived from God through men. Calling the United States a Christian Nation does not make the claim that Christianity is the only religion. We do believe the only way to heaven is through the blood of Christ and it is our desire the whole world would make that choice. However, a true Christian would NEVER try to force their believe on anyone. Lots of folks claim to be Christian but really don’t have a clue. You should be able to readily see the difference just looking at Islam and how it dominates any nation it controls. Christianity does not do that. We believe in the right of choice and for every choice one makes there is a chain reaction felt by many not just the one making it. We believe there are things that are absolutely wrong and things that are absolutely right…..no grey areas.

    I invite you to please got to , www. americanvision.org, and look up “The Case For America’s Christian Heritage”, by Gary DeMar. It is an illustrated journey of how Christianity built America.

    We have a great Nation because of Christianity not in spite of it…….and please remember, if certain people were to take over our Nation, Christians would be hunted down like dogs…..think I’m wrong, take a good look around the world.

    I haven’t decided who would be the best of the GOP field but Ron Paul is NOT the one.

    • CLOD MCGOO

      To teaman — What a great article. You are right on target. Here is what the Bible has to say:

      Basically there are four things God wants you to know:
      1) Your need to be saved. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” John 3:3 Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death–”

      2) You cannot save yourself. Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy he saved us–” Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

      3) God has provided for your salvation. John 3:16,17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 10:28 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.”
      4) You must receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Acts 16:31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.” John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”

      The Lord Jesus Christ was the only perfect sacrifice for sin because He had no sin of His own. When He died, He paid your penalty for your sin. He loves you and He wants you to be one of His children. If you would, right now, just bow your head and in your own words, tell God that you want to be saved from the penalty of your sin and you want His free gift of eternal life.

      I did that when I was eight years old, (68 years ago) and He saved me, gave me eternal life and has led me ever since. He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

      In addition to the above scripture verses let me suggest that you read the first three chapters of John and the first chapter of Romans. The first three chapters of John describe who God is and what He has done for us. The first chapter of Romans describes what mankind has done and what God thinks of us.

  • Dr. Roy S. Acryin

    Ron Paul is good on many issues, but he is confused and wrong about letting Iran get nuclear weapons. Iran is led by religious nuts who will use them so that their Twelve Imam can return ti spread Islam all over the world.
    Secondly, he compares our military expenditures with the rest of the world in dollars being spent, while the true measure should be manhours expended due to the vastly differing economies. For example, China with a MUCH lower labor rates than the US, expends much more in manhours then we do, but costs them much less in dollars.

    • teaman

      I like what you say but remind you Islam is NOT a religion. It is a “way of life” and has come into our Nation claiming to be a religion in order to reap the rewards and protections afforded to the word RELIGION. They are a usurper just like the Obambulating Manure Spreader.

    • Chris

      Dr. Roy, No one will not agree 100% with everything a candidate stands on. I know Ron Paul enough to know he will make the right decsion re: Iran after he is President and unseats Barry Sotoro who was born in Kenya. So whatda ya say. Move past that and know many people TRUST he will do the right thing whatever it comes down to. Bet my only dollar bill on that issue.

  • Joseph Shomoski

    If it’s not in the National Constitution, then the Federal Government should lay off. I think Dr. Ron Paul has made a wise decision. I just wish the rest of the Federal gov. would stay out of States’ business and stick to the Constitution.

    Why do people keep bringin up sparation of church and state? Separation of church and state is _not_ in the US constitution. It is however in the Soviet constitution under Chapter X, Article 124.

    I believe that since this country has been a standout country all these years, Why destroy one of the “most popular beliefs” for the benefit of the “minorities”? The democratic way is to go by the majority and if it were to come to a vote of all the people, which way would the vote go?

  • Jerry Hallman

    IN GOD WE TRUST, Is the motto of the USof A, Has been ever sense I was born. For God and Country is the motto of The American Legion, This We’ll Defend, Is the motto of the US Army. Who gives a Rats A** wether Ron Paul votes on any motto or not. As long as WE THE PEOPLE believe in our motto’s. Who cares what Ron Paul, Brack BoZama, or anybody else thinks. All this yak yak yak Bs aint worth a plug nickle. Ya listen to the Liberal media rake Ron Paul over the coals, Or any other canditate that they fear might have a chance to defeat BoZama. I turn them off, I dont listen to STUPID IDIOTS. This is and will always be our country, loaned to us by God and only he can take it away from us. WE THE PEOPLE Elected Barack Insane Bozama to the higest office in the land. SO STOP YOUR CRYIN. If he destroy’s this great nation. STOP YOUR CRYIN. If ya dont wanna see that happen. We got one of two things we can do. Find and vote for the BEST canditate, Whoever that may be. Or Lock and load, And show this Kenyan Reject that America is not ready to just give our Freedom or our country to anybody. He answers to WE THE PEOPLE. Not the other way around. And as a final note. Islam ans Aharia law will never rule this country NEVER.

    I say if we can’t honor God by reaffirming our national motto because some States would feel threatened, that their 10th Amendment rights are being trampled, we deserve to be destroyed from within. What a unfitting end to last most powerful nation in the world under God because they abandoned him for progressive, humanist garbage from Hell.

    • Jerry Hallman

      If WE THE PEOPLE Will gather enough B***’s between all these states that feel threatened. There will be no tramplling of anyone 10th Amendment. And if these states let theirselves be destroyed from within, Or by any other means. They CAN STOP THEIR CRYIN. If they wanna abandon God for Lucifer and his puppets from HELL. STOP YOUR CRYIN. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I’ll pay for the contuinoned Freedom of this great country, And some of the greatest people on the face of the earth. With my blood, If thats what it takes. I took an Oath not once, but 7 times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. And I still live by that Oath. And will Defend it until my last day on earth. So Help Me God.

I’ve met so many, they are humble, knowledgable, passionate, young (I’m 50) charming, and friendly. Those cheers are from their heart and gut. Yea, look at the O-puppet supporters.

  • Bruce Nelsen

    Why should a minority of residents of this once great country get their way on national beliefs. We have always been able to follow what religion we believed in and if there is to be a change in National Items or Events it should be put up to a vote of the RESIDENTS of the country. Add it on to the national vote next November or set up a separate vote six months earlier. Democracy depends on “THE PEOPLES CHOICE”, right?

  • Cindy

    This motto is a reaffirmation of who we have been and still are… a people seeking the GOD. It is not a demand that the states accept this motto. Ron Paul… you are bizarre. This does not “establish” a religion but recognizes that we are a religious people who follow after God. We the people, for whom you are one of those that represents us, do hereby want this motto to continue.

  • Tom Walsh

    Judging from some of the comments here, I wonder if anyone read beyond the headline. Ron Paul’s ascendancy reminds me of the Ronald Regan campaigns. The party that now brags about Regan fought conservatives tooth and nail right up to the floor fight at the convention, which resulted in that unholy compromise of making George H.W. Bush the Vice Presidential nominee. Party hacks and the media laughed the Gipper off as just an actor, a dreamer and clearly unelectable. Today, despite the groundswell of support for Ron Paul, the bobble heads and pundits in the media call the good doctor an unelectable fringe candidate. However, having had the experience of campaigning for Ronald Reagan for almost 12 years, I know what is possible on a third run at the presidency. In 2012, We the People will have our say and the establishment will once again be dumbfounded.

If that means cutting salaries of politicians (along with the perks) than sobeit! We have dug ourselves into a big hole, and when you do that, the first thing you need to do is put down the damn shovel! This is going to be painful, but it sure beats the alternative.

  • Irma Gregory

    Dr. Ron Paul did not say he didn’t believe in god. He is a christian and has 2 brothers who are ministers. He does not use his beliefs to get votes. Congress only voted for this because they know we are not happy with them and it is an election year. here is what was said: Paul, who is running for president, missed the vote.
    Paul said he didn’t think the resolution was necessary, saying he wouldn’t have brought it up.
    “I would have voted ‘no’ not because I don’t like the motto and don’t think we can use it but ‘no’ because we were telling the states what to do,” Paul told The Hill newspaper. This is the establishment republicans effort to degrade Dr. Ron Paul they are afraid, very afraid for there rule and control. You should study to show yourselves approved as the good book says then you would understand what is being done here. We have only one hope for the USA that is: Dr. Ron Paul as president: ” I firmly believe the American people are serious about cutting spending and fixing our debt crisis now. Those struggling to make ends meet and provide for their families while also trying to save for the future know we must change course immediately.
    I’m not running for president merely to trim a little here and there from our bloated federal budget. Instead, I have offered the boldest, most specific and most comprehensive solutions in the history of American politics to restore our economy and once again make America the most innovative, competitive and prosperous nation in the world.
    We face no problem that cannot be solved by reaffirming our trust in the fundamental principles of freedom, limited constitutional government and individual responsibility”.

    I always thought RP was a pretty good congressman, but never prez material due to his stupid “states can legalize heroine” statement (no wonder his followers are so weird!)….isolating each state when we need to be united….( Obama has already divided the us)….and of course the fact that his head is in the sand w/ thinking the USA isn’t in danger w/ Iran having a nuke!….But now I don’t like him at all!….
    My heart is breaking for America, seeing how hard, corrupt,and insensitive our nation has become…..It started when we kicked God out of school….. The only way this nation will survive is turning back to God…..II Chron. 7:14

    • RULKEN

      It is very obvious that many of you here love Ron Paul, and would go to great lengths, to support, and protect him. I respect that, as I do Ron Paul’s great contributions to this nation as a congressman. That said, Ron Paul should continue on serving this nation as a congressman, NOT president! Here’s why, he really has a great grasp for the constitution as it applies to”we the people” as a nation, and the distinction between state and federal powers that we all are ruled by. He is a great beacon in that sense, and it would be a serious lose to do without him there.
      Ron Paul, tends to try, and apply him constitutional knowledge on a foreign diplomacy scale, and there it just doesn’t work. There are too many outside forces that are incompatible with that course of thinking.
      I love him for his contributions to this nation as a congressman, but I feel there are several other presidential candidates, that would better serve this nation of ours than Ron Paul can.
      We should all be very thankful, for the wonderful choices that are available to us on the GOP campaign trail right now.
      Myself, I am hopping for something like the Cain-Gingrich, Gingrich-Cain, or ANY combination, of Cain, Bachmann, and Gingrich.
      I just don’t trust the big politicians, like Romney or Perry, I think they are for big government, big spending.

      Bev – research the “War on Drugs” and see how well that’s been working. I’m very knowledgable in this area. Will you use herion if it was legal? Nor would I. People must start understanding the Government roles in governing people. Hence… in Afganistan our troops are watching the ppl there send the heroin to the states and the Government does NOT stop it. Wonder Why? I can do an editorial on another ridiculous Governemnt facade …like fast & furious. But, I’m not an editor or a very good writer. I just read and see the facts and the reality.

    • Cathy

      I agree with you completely about Ron Paul. I have heard him speak and watched him on the debates. His foreign policy really frightens me. He believes Iran should be allowed to have a nuclear bomb, and that is pure insanity. They would not hesitate to bomb us as their mentality is like the suicide bombers and 911 killers. We are not dealing with the Russians as we did during the cold war.

      Obama would wipe up the floor with Paul in a debate. He rambles on and is not clear cut in presenting his position. Frankly, he is too old, and I am a senior myself. We have some terrible problems in this country to be solved, and I don’t believe he is the one to solve them. He does have some good points, but he is not the one to lead this country. If he decides to run as a third party candidate, he will probably assure that Obama will win the election. If that happens, this country is toast. Can you imagine four more years of what we have endured already, and it would only be worse since Obama would not be running for office again. Of course, we could have Biden who has made rumblings about running in 2016, and he is a stupid fool.

    • RINO HUNTER

      Bev, I understand your thinking on the heroine issue but have you considered WHY RP wants to get FED GOVT hands out of these things? When America was still FREE to LIFE LIBERTY and PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS , we could grow whatever we wanted for whatever purpose we wanted, and if we chose to, we could then buy,sell or trade it with our neighbors. We grew corn, poppys, pot, vegetables, fruit, nuts, cotton, whatever we wanted to grow, we grew. Then one day someone in our government decided that we shouldn’t have that much freedom, so they said we can no longer make things like alcohol from our garden produce. This brought about PROHIBITION, and we all saw how well that worked out. At some point we had the freedom to make our own food, our own beer, wine and alcohol, whatever we had a mind to make, and we could do with it what we wanted. WE WERE FREE PEOPLE . So when our out of control government decided they would pick and choose what we can or cannot grow on OUR PROPERTY, and what we can and cannot do with it at harvest time, we lost more of our freedoms. Please think about this Bev, WHO GETS TO TELL ME OR YOU what we can grow or not grow? Who gets to tell us what we can then do with it? All these things which are used for alcohol, tobacco etc are natural occurring plants…GOD GIVEN

    To all of you Ron Paul boosters. He is highly intelligent. He is a strong patriot. He is a straight
    shooter. He is controversial. But its true, as several of you have stated, he could not draw more
    than 10 % of the votes, because 90% of the voters won’t vote for this Libertarian. If he runs
    as a third party nominee, Obama will be re-elected. If Obama is to be cast out of the white house, We must all support the Republican nominee, whom ever is nominated, even if we
    have to spit, throw up, or take castor oil to purge us.

Under this guy, it has nothing to do with what the people want and only to do with what Obie wants. He will lie, cheat, steal, use unions as his strongarm mobster types to take his corruption to the streets. Now Iask you?

    he has been faithfully defending our Constitution
    all these years.
    Go for it Ron!

    They reaffirm our motto “In God We Trust” and then they advance the New World Order. I see this as very hypocritical to say the least. If the GOP wants to reaffirm “In God We Trust” why don’t we just inscribe the Ten Commandments on our hearts. Stop murdering unborn babies. Stop killing elderly people in nursing homes. Stop license and lustful behavior, which is bringing down the rath of God upon our heads. Did you know that the murder of unborn babies is called “Willful Murder”, and it is a sin which cries to Heaven for vengeance. We’re in for it America, and all because we’ve lost our way.

  • mjnellett

    The late Democrat Senator Robert Byrd also knew the Constitution by memory……..would anyone outside of West Virginia have voted for him for President? Ron Paul is a nice guy but his foreign policy stance reminds me of the isolationist movement that existed just before World War II. Our enemies are gaining the know how to strike us (as they did on 911) with even more devastation,
    yet Ron Paul wants us to ignore the threats because “it’s none of our business what they do?” REALLY? What we need now is a very STRONG person at the top leadership position in this country again, because if we don’t gain back the fear and respect that we have lost because of Obama’s mishandled foreign policy, then we are in for a time from which we may not recover. Do more Americans need to die because we refused to pay attention? Think about it.

    Teddy Roosevelt firmly believed in one country one language. He thought it so obvious he did not see the need for a bill or Constitutional adjustment to confirm it. Now we spend millions every year printing state and Federal materials in at least 2 languages. Signs in cities and counties ditto. Schools teach students in their languages, sometimes with teachers who barely speak English. On and ON.
    Because like Ron Paul, the politicians of TRs’ time thought the matter was self evident. Mr. Paul any bill that protects the US as an English speaking, Christian founded country should be passed before we are to outnumbered to do so!

    • Insighting Truth

      Jacqueline:
      “…any bill that protects the US as an English speaking, Christian founded country…” is unconstitutional on its face, and is therefore unlawful. The very idea of such legislation is unAmerican, and is anathema to any American who believes in individual liberty and personal responsibility.

  • etexfisherman48

    A good independent means he/she is fed up with the corruption of both parties and will fire every incumbent in Washington.
    Ron Paul is right on many issues as it concerns the constitution but wrong on the issue being discussed here because the founding fathers make it clear this nation was designed only for a Christian people. Let’s take the father of our country George Washington and prove he was a Christian and then where he and Ron Paul strongly disagree. First we must agree the bible is what the Christian uses for spiritual guidance. Washington declared, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.” Washington added the words “so help me God” to the end of his inaugural oath and then bowed and kissed the Bible. Now, to nail it down; George Washington, “Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics.”
    Patrick Henry, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!”
    John Jay: (December 12, 1745 – May 17, 1829) was an American politician, statesman, revolutionary, diplomat, a Founding Father of the United States, and the first Chief Justice of the United States (1789–95).Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
    Paul is not unlike so many in politics today in that they tend to go the extreme positions, which I contend is why so many people today have become independents. I could go on and on about the founding fathers and their unified position on the bible and Christianity but this gives one enough to understand how Paul is on the extreme.

    Ron Paul is irrelevant, why should anyone pay any attention to him? I would have voted for him early on, but he is showing signs of political senility, if not mental as well. Too much attention is paid to people who shoot themselves in the foot or other places politically, and too much credence is put into what they have to ramble about. He should drop out of the race and acknowledge that he never made too much sense for too long.

  • Bert Plansky

    Ron Paul amazes me with his libertarian views. If he can’t stand up for a simple national moto that raises the name of God and states that America is still a land where God is recognized, then I can’ trust him to not be blindsided by his libertarian views on other important issues. At one time I could have voted for him. That time has passed. A God fearing man would not take this stance. He is proven that he is all over the charts with his libertarian ways.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY RON, TRUE AMERICAN CHRISTILAN CONSERVATIVES WON’T VOTE FOR YOU. AND THERE AIN’T THAT MANY LIBERTARIANS THAT THINK LIKE YOU.

    Ron Paul, like may Libertarians, tick off their good ideas with each as if blowing a breath of air into a balloon. Just when you think they have got it all going on, it’s like they let go of the balloon and it darts willy nilly around the room.

    Some of you are too emotional and are not taking the time to understand and to think on your own with your own brain.

    I am a RP supporter and was confused and intrigued by this article’s title enough to stop and read it and everyone’s comments. Initially I was surprised by RP’s position because I love that motto, but then I gave it some thought instead of dismissing him without giving due consideration to his, or anyone else’s, perspective. I was slow, but I figured it out.

    RP believes we should obey the Constitution. The Constitution says (in my words) the people rule the States, and the States rule the Fed. The proper way, the American way I would add, is for each State to adopt such a resolution as the people of that State choose. (I concede that all 50 states might not vote for the motto.) Then when a majority of states have passed such a resolution, then it can be brought before a vote at the national level. I believe it’s 38 states (out of 50) that are the minimum necessary for a Constitutional amendment.

    Thus to Michael, YES this is our national motto, and Ron Paul believes that, but it can be only if a majority of the people in the majority of the States agree that it is. There is a procedure to follow per the Constitution to protect the citizens from an out-of-control Congress or an out-of-control Executive Branch. The Constitution endorses and protects individual rights, thus allowing for some people, some states to NOT believe “In God We Trust”. As foreign as it is to me, there are enough wacko people in a few wacko states that they not might want to believe that motto. And that’s fair. Fair until, more than 38 states out of fifty, agree to the motto, ratify a Constitutional amendment; REALLY making it a national motto. Then the dissenting states, and people, must relent as honest citizens. A republic operates from the bottom up not top down.

    Thus to icetrout, RP is not a self-serving fool, he is a “thinking” man, a “considerate” man. He thinks like a statesman, not a politician.

    Thus to RMF, I must disagree, RP is the only “presidential” person in Washington DC or all of national political scene. He understands, supports, and protects the principles upon which this country was founded, the principles that made this country great, and the principles which have been ignored for numerous Congresses and administrations.

    To Bert P, a God-fearing man would take RP’s stance. The men who signed the Constitution were God-fearing people and they would recommend RP’s method because his stance obeys the Constitution that they wrote.

    So, Ron Paul has it right again, and the “political wisdom of the day” has it bass-ack-wards as we used to say in my youth. An “In God We Trust” bill is a great bill. It should be put a vote in every county and then in every state. But for the Republicans (or any party or non-party) to push such a measure in Congress is a cart-before-the-horse situation. They don’t “know” that a majority of their constituents support that resolution; they have no proof of support. Congress should not “push” to States that which the people may not actually support. The Republican Congressmen should contact the governors of their states and say put it to a vote in the State so I can, then, put it to a vote in Washington.

    To ignore the Constitution is to disavow the very heart of this country.

    In God, in the Constitution, and in RP We Trust,

  • Insighting Truth

    I read a good number of the anti-Paul comments. While they are not identical, they do have a considerable commonality.

    1. The anti-Paul posters are universally uninformed.
    2. Most of them are unfamiliar with the founding documents.
    3. Those that demonstrate a passing familiarity with the founding documents display either a fundamental misunderstanding of the scope and purpose of the D of C and the Constitution, or outright contempt for the ideals expressed in the former and the codification of those ideals in the latter.
    4. The deeper issue is the anti-Paul posters lack a basic understanding of human nature, which is necessary if one is to understand political and social dynamics.
    5. Through gullibility and ignorance the anti-Paul people are passing up the best chance we have to save this country. It would be nice if they could wake up to the realities of our impending national destruction before it is too late. Alas, I fear many of them find comfort in their prejudices, and bliss in their ignorance.

  • William

    Hey Ron Paul check this out:
    Daniel 9:18
    O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
    Daniel 9:17-19 (in Context) Daniel 9 (Whole Chapter

    Matthew 5:19
    Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
    Matthew 5:18-20 (in Context) Matthew 5 (Whole Chapter

    • Susan Kraft

      William did not know that not having the In God We Trust on the money was breaking the 10 Commandments. But a lot of people do that by going to church on the 1st day of the week instead of the 7th. I am not judging them for doing so so why are you going after Ron Paul on this like he is a commandment breaker.

  • lindag

    Well it looks like Ron Paul is earning that support that the Muslim community has given him!

  • Douglas Hooper

    Hmmm, I have yet to see anywhere that Ron Paul said he did not believe in the motto “In
    God We Trust”. What he did say is that the federal government is not in the business of promoting what the States may say, or do, regarding the issue. I’m amazed at the ignorant
    comments made by so many regarding his taking a purely constitutional view on the issue. He opposed the bill, Not the motto.

    We have most of our problems today as the result of ignoring what our founding documents say, and have instead adopted the very principles of socio-economic-slavery the Founding Fathers were adamantly opposed to. The Constitution lays out a blueprint for a “Republican” form of government. [Not to be confused with the Republican Party] The Republic was to have a “Rule of Law” called the Constitution. We’ve allowed our politicians, judges, and legislators to turn us into the “democracy” that Thomas Paine described as “The vilest form of government on earth”. Democracy always fails, and is properly called Mob Rule. Until we elect statesmen to all branches of the government who will obey The Law, we’ll continue to get what we’ve been getting. More big government and the surrender of our sovereignty to foreign powers under the United Nations. The ONLY candidate who actually is 100% for obeying the Law Of The Land is Ron Paul. Bachmann would be second, and all the rest are the establishment lackeys who will continue with the status quo of BIG Government. Sad to see that so many have bought into the establishment propaganda that will simply continue the SOS we’ve been getting for several decades from both major parties. There is a cure for lack of knowledge regarding the intent of the Founding Fathers, but it requires a lot of study. Unfortunately, the old saying is correct that if you don’t know your history, you’re going to repeat it. Human nature was what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the various founding documents. The principles are timeless, but if you don’t know and understand them, you’re easily led away.

    Ron Paul is no more an isolationist that were Washington, Jefferson, et al. He merely opposes the excessive and massive deployment of our troops all over the world. I remember reading about 40 years ago that one of the ploys of the communist/socialist/one world government promoters was to have the United States so engaged in foreign entanglements that our troops and equipment would be outside of the US proper, thereby leaving us vulnerable from within to foreign invasion. Does our present situation look like the culmination of an agenda? Open borders, troops including the State’s National Guard and equipment, now based on foreign territory. Is there a method to the madness of The State Departments Publication 7277, signed into law by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, agreeing to the United Nations complete and total disarmament of all weapons from ALL citizens, AKA “Gun Control”. Isn’t that in direct conflict with The Second Amendment?

    Cain, while never having been elected to any office, has been a big supporter of establishment causes and people. His words are phenomenol to a conservative, but his previous record of support just doesn’t fit. Newt has already shown his true colors with his last “Contract For America” where he made numerous promises and then proceeded to decimate them as Speaker of The House. Now he’s going to give us another one, but will he lie again?
    Romney, well, I guess we can all change our minds – every once in a while – on just an issue, or five.

    Elect another establishment lackey, and it really won’t matter if it’s a republican or a democrat, as most of them all march to the same tune. Bigger, badder, more powerful, all inclusive government that will subdue and control as has been done for decades.

    I don’t agree with Paul in this matter. It’s not what Paul, or the Congress believes or wants. It’s what the vast majority of the people in this nation believe or want and I happen to believe and want the motto, In God We Trust, to remain on our government buildings and on our currency.

      Do you believe in the rule of law? So me where in the Constitution is the authorization for the government to mandate a national motto…it isn’t about what you believe or what the majority want. It is about living under the constraints of the Constitution. The Constitution is a negative document in that it removes the power of coercion by the government against the people. Without such constraints we would have no freedom at all. As it is too many times in our history our freedoms have been chipped away, little by little until we arrived in the present with the faint shadow of the society our founding fathers envisioned. This is one of the smaller chips of freedom, but a chip all the same, and Dr. Paul is a man of principles that he will not compromise.

  • PReynolds

    Opposing this motto is a sad , irresponsible postion on RPauls part. Either you vote FOR something related to GOD or you are against it. Opposing this motto shows stupidity. To even have a vote, to begin with, is an indication of stupidity on the part of Congress, but to go one step further and oppose it shows a lack of judgement and irresponsibility. Our forefathers died for this cause…it is our choice to ignore him, but by so doing, we turn our backs on GOD. If we continue, HE will turn his back on us. This is not a State vs Federal issue…it is a Judeo Christian issue.

  • Herman

    Ron Paul is NOTagainst the motto. This directive comes from the white house.You tell me, what good has come from the white house in the last two years. there is moor to this than meets the eye. It:s already our national motto. So ask yourself, why bring it up now. Dr. Paul is right, We don’t need the feds to say anything, we just need them to secure our borders, instead of suing states that are trying to do the right thing.

  • Theodore J Gager

    Ron Paul, MD has take an oath to first and formost “Do no harm” As a law maker he has tried to uphold the constitution and the rule of law. As president he would surely attempt to have our nation restored to a constitutional republic bound by the rule of law. Those who don’t like this country would probably attempt to stop him, in one way or another, without ever stopping to enjoy the revelations that such a restoration would bring forth. Those people are not true americans. They are Nomads with allegience un to themselves and their alien idiologies. The Kennedy’s suffered severely at their hands and the country has deteriorated administration after administration ever since. President Eisenhower, in his closing address to the nation, warned us of the underhanded, self serving dealings of the industrial military complex’s agenda. It deals in death and destruction during the normal coarse of every day business. One must ask….What or who gave the USA the right to assume the roll as the world’s police force?

  • keith

    Ron Paul sure can bring the morons out in force. I saw one post that stated “In God We Trust” on currency and the addition of “under God” to the pledge of allegiance were both products od the 1950′s. When I read that I thought the poster was off base. Yes, the addition to the pledge happened in the 1950′s. But the motto “In God We Trust” has always been printed on our money. I pulled a 1909 penny out of my collection and sure enough, there was “In God We Trust” right over the top of Lincoln’s head. Then we have to fight the Separation of Church and State myth. Again, can someone please give me quote and verse where “Separation of Church and State” is found in the Constitution? Oh yes, it isn’t in there. The only place it is found is in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a group of Ct Baptists who were afraid other denominations were beginning to have undue influence over the governmemt and gherefore could lead to preferrence of them over any other denomination. Perhaps the phrase wpuld have carried greater weight and meaning had it been Separation of State and Church, thus indicating the state is to stay out of church affairs. In either event Jefferson intended to convey the message that no particular donomination would gain any more favor than another, not that the government would in any way shape or form, be secular in nature. Jefferson is also the man who proposed the Bible be a school textbook so that puts that myth to bed completely.

The real morons (all 425 of them) are the ones who can’t think of any reason for a bill like the one that was put forward, but would vote for it anyway because they think the small loss of freedom involved is a very small price to pay for the potential loss of popularity from an uneducated public.

    Dr. Paul doesn’t waste his time on the rhetoric we’re being deluged with. While I agree with his premise that we don’t need to vote on such things that we already know to be true, in this unstable time, I think we need to make damn sure “they” can’t come along and change what we know to be truths now. You have to honestly “listen” to what the man is saying. He does have honest, hard answers, and solutions to what is killing our country now. Of all the candidates that “occupy” the stages vying for the nomination, he is the only one that doesn’t “blow smoke up our butts”, and while the “lame stream”media tries to shut him off, his words resonate loudly with those of us who don’t get sucked in by all the hype. If you ARE a conservative American, or just one who is tired of watching the country be decimated by these “Old “world order types, his words resonate loudly! They all use the old, dead guy, Reagen’s style and convictions, but those ideas won’t work in todays world of chaos and deceit, coming to us from washington. It’s a brave new world out here, and we’ve got to get our brains working, as well as thinking about the “whole” and not just our personal gains. If you want the proof of what has been done, to “change” what was good, into something that is “eating” us alive, look at Medicaide, and how it has been turned into the home of the “breeders”instead of what it was designed for. it’s time, to give the benefits to those who have paid their dues, and make the “free ride” bunch, a dose of reality. We can’t continue “giving” it to those who refuse to either work, and “contribute” or “suffer” the consequenses for their irresponsible behavior!

Of course, with all of the gods that Americans are bowing down to: sex, abortions, birth control, drugs, porno, money & so forth & so on: why should he & the democrats be alarmed about this wonderful idea?

    RON IS A CRANK

    Dear old Ron Paul is a crank. He is seemingly incapable of any sort of moderation. As a libertarian Republican, I agree with him on a lot of his ideas. But like many “true believers,” he often takes them to the point of logical absurdity and political irrelevance.

    I’m an AGNOSTIC, though unlike some non-believers NOT a God hater or Christian baiter. I do not personally believe, however I do respect the enormous good religion has done and is still doing on our society; moral code, charity, solace for the afflicted. I also think that, absent the sanction of “eternal damnation,” a lot of folks would engage in criminal actions. The great enlightenment philosopher Voltaire, a non-believer and church critic, said “If God did not exist, we’d have to invent him.”

    Religion has been a major component of American society since long before our founding, though the idea that such individuals as Jefferson and Franklin were active Christians is not historically accurate. Both, despite many quotations invoking God, were Deists, free thinkers and attacked for it in their lifetime. For others, like Washington, religion was more of a civic affair. He served as a vestryman in his local Anglican church though he seldom attended. It was really a matter of a wealthy squire’s “noblesse oblige.” Abraham Lincoln was regarded as a “pagan” by some ministers of in his time because he never joined or attended church. We free thinkers were instrumental in founding and guising our nation, but most of us are too tolerant to object to our Christian neighbors. It is not a big deal.

    Something like 80% of Americans are self-described Christians of one form or other; fundamentalists, evangelicals, Methodists, Mormons, Catholics etc. Thus, as a non-believer, I am in no way offended when religious elements find their way into civic life. Such items as religious invocations at public events (Happens every day in both houses of Congress.) are fine. I’ve been in a 12 step recovery program for many years and we end every meeting with the Lord’s Prayer; not a problem for ME or the many good Jews, and other non-Christians I know. Bit like celebrating Christmas, it is largely CULTURAL. We are NOT a “Christian Nation,” but we ARE a mostly Christian culture.

    “In God we trust” on the coins etc. Who cares? One has far more important concerns to deal with than a largely meaningless motto. If it makes the majority happy, fine. The non-believers who take up cudgels against all forms of civic observance are, in my estimation, individuals so insecure, so threatened by ideas opposed to their own, so utterly intolerant, they need to extirpate all religion from our public discourse. Such people are to be pitied. Ron is once more distancing himself from the American people. Thankfully, he’ll never be either nominated nor elected president.

    This may be off Topic but some thing to think about:

    Isn’t it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing
    his
    Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair
    during the last ten years? And, they even uncovered photos, text
    messages,
    recorded phone calls, etc.! Furthermore, they not only know the cause of
    the
    family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that
    his
    wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade. Not only that, they
    know
    which wedge! And, each & every day, they were able to continue to
    provide
    America with updates on Tiger’s sex rehab stay, his wife’s plans for
    divorce, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.

    Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for almost three years, yet
    this
    very same press:
    Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors; or find any
    of
    Obama’s Punahou high school or Occidental/Columbia college classmates;
    Or
    find any previous girlfriends prior to Michelle; Or locate any of his
    college photos, papers or grades; Or determine whether he attended
    Occidental or Columbia as an American citizen or Indonesian, British or
    Kenyan exchange student (all of which he could have claimed);
    Or determine how he paid for an Occidental, Columbia & Harvard
    education; Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to
    Pakistan
    in the 1980′s; Or even find Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis on racism.
    They just can’t seem to uncover any of this. Yet, the public still
    trusts that same media to give them the whole truth today!

    Not to worry though, this same media cabal has already begun to
    thoroughly investigate and report every detail of the lives and careers
    of
    all possible candidates who might challenge the president in the 2012
    election.

    Simply amazing, isn’t it?

  • Timothy Wilson

    I didn’t read them all, I don’t have time, but the first dozen or so seems to miss the obvious comment that seems to lack the most logic. How is the U.S. House of Representatives, passing a non-binding resolution that affirms our national motto is: IN GOD WE TRUST, telling the states what to do? That is a national motto. States can have their own motto but each state sends representatives to the U.S. Congress to do their bidding, hopefully. That is the fact that we have a republic which is what our constitution formed. If the majority of every state at the national level approved (including the states where representatives voted no) this resolution, how is that going against the wishes of the states and forcing states to not have a say? What is Paul saying? Doesn’t make any sense at all. Can’t have such an idiot as POTUS, no way.

  • Larry W.

    Dear Representative Paul. You have a job to do Mr. Representative and you run around blabbering about your feelings and seem too busy to listen to our ideas and to our complaints. Your feelings put you in a mighty small minority at that!

    While the country is suffering and you complain that the current president can’t get things done, you’re right. He doesn’t know finance, nor defense, healthcare, jobs or dozens of topics requiring awareness and comes of as a charismatic bumbler who knows basketball, golf and sending ACORN into banks to intimidate for sub prime loans and how to play the blame everyone else game and even seems to prove that he can pull the trigger (by proxy) on those who incite attacks on us. You imply that you would rather have our enemies just run out of enthusiasm to kill us. How has that strategy worked for Jews since Jerico? I bet its a paradise amongst their neighbors.

    Sorry Ron, but you don’t meet Republican criteria and don’t deserve many votes outside your own. How does it feel to be the Ralph Nader of the debates with little else to say. At one time I would have supported you, but that was before you started talking and talking and …..

    I realize that “In God We Trust” was before your time, but I think our founders truly had deep beliefs that God had an active hand in their lives, while some, especially politicians, treaqt it more as a formality, like a stamp on a passport as they travel the world. I realize as a politician, you get many of those, but so too a complete cluts can visit the glass shops in a hundred nations and destroy everything he touches as do many of your peers in Congress. It is for the Wassermann-Schultz, the Waxman’s, the Schumers’, the Obamas’, the Holders’, the Jackson-Lees’, the Waters’, the Napolitano’s, …… and the Ron Pauls’ that we need “God’s help and protection” from. Just remember that when you vote next November for other names that will be on the ballot.

    Alot of people need to go back and reread this.Ron Paul is just saying he believes in the federal government not telling the states what to do is all.Sheesh.Not that he doesnt believe in GOD or all the other garbage being said here.You wonder why we are in the trouble we are in? You people cant even read an article and understand what it is saying.

    • Larry W.

      Dennis, you are absolutely right! He is constantly saying government shoukld not be telling people what to do, then he turns around year after year and signs on to legislation telling us what to do. I can hear the hyprocracy like opening a warm, shaken soda next to my father’s head while he’s asleep and not expect for my body to pass through a brick wall in two and a half seconds.

      Al Gore waves a banner and all follow chanting “Global warming”! Al Sharpton raises his banner and everyone cries “racism”! Eric Holder waves his and his follower cry “….have no recollection…..”! Janet Napolitano’s chant “the border has never been safer” and Barack Obama’s repeat, “I am not a crook”! Oh, sorry that was Nixon!

      Unless Ron Paul wanted to hammer out some more for his resume, he didn’t need to comment. Its almost like listening to Nader.

  • cheryl lynn

    The vote was to reaffirm the motto in God We Trust. The way things are going we need to reaffirm our Constitution also. Ron Paul should of voted for it to show his support. As we know some say in Allah we trust. Allah is the Moon God depicted in the flag and other symbols of Islam.

    @Insighting Truth: Didn’t know the motto on my 1909 penny, struck 50 years before the alleged inclusion of said motto had anything to do with whatever referrence you laid out.

    This is precisely the kind of non-issue that alienated independents in 2008 and resulted in the election of Comrade Obama. Why can’t Republicans understand that not everyone shares their zeal for forcing unwanted religious observances on those who believe differently than they?

They should be doing their job. And when has the president or senate presented a budget in all the time O has been in office.

Listen we need to be focused on defeating Obama with our best chance and a candidate that can out debate Obama and hold him to his miserable record!!!

    • Hook24

      Dr. Ron Paul has a lengthy record in politics. Anybody with a brain can look up his totally consistent voting record and philosophical core principles. He isn’t your enemy, he is your only chance for the things you hold dear. Can you name any other candidate which will advance the ideology that you favor? How is Mitt Romney any different from Barrack Obama? Herman Cain thinks Alan Greenspan was a wonderful Federal Reserve Chairman, but Dr. Paul knows the truth about Greenspan’s policies and how they caused the recession/depression we are living through now. How could someone who rose to the level of head of the Kansas City Federal Reserve not recognize the basic economic fallacies that Greenspan embraced, which brought about our present state of affairs? Two years ago I was watching commercials featuring Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi talking about how we had to enact carbon taxes to stop global warming. Anybody who trusts Newt has (1) a short and faulty memory, and (2) also believes in Santa Claus.

      If Ron Paul is blacked out and unfairly censored, I hope he does go 3rd party. The republicans will get the candidate they deserve, and if he can’t get enough votes to win, if won’t deserve to win. For me there is no other candidate that stands for the principles I believe in. I will vote for him even if his isn’t on my ballot…just like in 2008.

  • tweety

    Although I do agree that this bill is not as practical as a jobs bill might be, it is a symbolic item on the philosophy behind our government,. I think Paul made a mistake in not voting/or at least endorsing this.

  • Nannyroo

    Mr. Paul, whom do you trust?????

  • littledee

    In God We Trust is on all our money. I really think that God would not like that since all our money is used for evil. It is made by the federal reserve, it is given to countries that do not like us,
    for our government to buy and sell drugs so that they can continue the drug war, it enables this continuous war which we started in the first place, we give them money and weapons to attack us with, etc etc etc. In God We Trust has no meaning unless you apply it to your individual life. Our constitution and the bible go hand in hand so if you do not know either one you will not be able to come to a sound judgement for whom to vote for. I am voting for Ron Paul you all do whatever you want. I am tired of voting for all these others that you neocons pick for me. Also Republicans used to believe as Ron Paul does. What happened? You all have been brain washed.

    Also I remember when we had more freedom than what we have today. I am 70. You people have no idea what freedom is otherwise you would see it my way. The federal in our government is killing us and till you realize they are overstepping the constitution we will never be a free people again.

If people were not so afraid (or lazy) to read the Constitution and think for themselves we could get back to the Ideals of the Founders and our Country would be so much better off. As for this particular article; Ron Paul is right again. With all the really important things to consider, this was just another waste of time, money and energy.
    Another thing; the Constitution was not written to control the States, it was written to control the state (the federal government). The States have their own Constitutions. How many of you have read or did you even know that the States have their own Constitutions? When (and IF) you do try reading the Constitution for the United States, please pay close attention to the 10th. Amendment! Also, Art. 1, Sec. 8, Cl. 17. “To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square)…”

  • jayeric

    I think that “in God we trust ” is an awsome motto .we need to turn back to the God of our founding fathers.

  • Onesquarelight

    Dr. Paul has recently said he opposes the bill reaffirming ‘In God We Trust’ as national motto. This may offend some people. I believe those who are offended, perhaps, fail to recognize the principle behind his decision.

    Many individuals instigate the government to undertake the business of enforcing their personal moral agenda only to later demand that government has overstepped its bounds when it rules contrary to their personal convictions. Government is good when it agrees with them and bad when it does not. For example, one who applauds the federal government’s decree that “In God We Trust” is to be the nation’s motto may very well cry foul if it was changed tomorrow to be “In Money We Trust”. It’s a certainty that Ron Paul would stand in opposition to this for exactly the same reason he apposed it this time. I believe that people fail to understand that his objection has nothing to do with the substance of the motto, but rather, the principle that a limited Constitutional government offers the best opportunity for prosperity of the people. While there is not a great deal of individual liberty at stake with this particular issue, it is reassuring to me, that he would stand on principle even on the small matters. His convictions force the astute observer to consider what the proper role of government really is.

    A limited federal government leads to greater individual liberty. For Christians, any increase in individual liberty should be welcomed with open arms. Why? Because it equates to the freedom to worship, witness, and pray as they please. Yet the Christian community, in this case, is largely responsible for the negative attitude towards Dr. Paul’s statement. Perhaps they fail to understand Constitutional government. Too many Christians feel compelled to use the federal government as their moral ramrod in effort to stamp out, by force, those who appose them. They do themselves a great disservice by doing so because they open themselves up to being made the victim of government policy. Rather than trying to change people by force of government, why not adopt a personal policy of allowing each to decide what is in their best interest. In such a system, Christians would have unlimited opportunity to share and spread their faith with others.

    I have no issue with “In God We Trust” appearing anywhere because it’s true to me. But the issue at hand is not whether I think it’s a good or bad idea. It’s certainly not about questioning the historical beliefs of our founding fathers. It’s about what I want government deciding for me. If I insist that government push my morality on the rest of the civilization, I’ve done little more than open the door for the same government to force on me the morality of someone else. That is not freedom. That is not America. We all have to start realizing that all social matters, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, are best handled at the most local level. It is in that arena where the individual holds the most sway. We can as individuals band together and espouse the motto of “In God We Trust” with pride with absolutely no need for government interference in the matter.

    The fact that this country is founded on Judeo-Christian values does not change no matter what is written on our money or what the federal government decides our motto is. To restore our Republic, it’s going to take a man like Ron Paul who realizes that even declaring a motto is too much power for the federal government to have. We are a Christian nation. I have no doubt about it. Our founders understood that our individual freedoms come from our creator. They set out to establish a nation where government was kept to a minimum so that free people could prosper. There is no other candidate or member of congress who has the proven track record of defending individual liberty and constitutional government more so than Dr. Ron Paul. He understands that when you give government and inch they take all they can get. He understands that this nation prospers when government gets out of the way of individuals.

    I’m constantly dumbfounded by the fact that so many American’s react negatively to the message of liberty. We have before us a candidate for the president of the United States who wishes to do nothing more than return our God given rights and freedoms afforded us by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. This should be a no-brainer.

    I usually like Ron Paul but this is obviously not in sync with what “We the People” want and it behooves Ron Paul and every other politician to vote in favor of the “PEOPLE!” They keep forgetting they are elected “REPRESENTATIVES!” which means they are to serve at the consent of the “people!” Vote, not their own, not what they think the people would want, but what the people do want.

Heinlein

      The Constitution is supposed to protect us from “government” meaning… from those we elect to govern and thereby from ourselves. Representatives swear to protect and defend the Constitution but very few, maybe even only one, actually does so.

    • Hook24

      So what you are saying is that we must abide by the Constitution unless it stops some cause that you favor…mob rule is majority rule…the rights of the minority be damned if they go against what you want. I wonder how you will feel when you are the minority, like for instance the majority mandate that you purchase insurance so that their premiums will go down, or you are singled out for unlawful searches because national data bases show you own a gun, or you are detained in a traffic stop because of a bumper sticker that indicates you are a veteran. Despite how your rhetoric about Dr. Paul sickens me, I would still stand up for your rights because I understand that my freedoms are diminished when your freedoms are diminished. I wish you had even a very basic understanding of this concept.

    I agree with Roy Trueman totally about Ron Paul. Since none of the other presidential candidates mentioned Obama’s very probable unconstitutional presence in our White House pretending to be our president, can’t blame him for not mentioning it. Can you imagine? None of the others would have supported Paul , or mocked him, or totally ignored him. In my eyes Ron Paul is the only true statesman, while I believe all the other candidates are just your run of the mill politicians. They would probably be a ‘business as usual’ president . I remember recently Ron Paul stating that if he were elected president, that he would lower his salary. I’m willing to bet that the other candidates are afraid of that. I hope and pray that we will have a president that will help to rescue us from the corruption, fraud and follishness this country has been subjected to. But there is an old saying, “The people deserve the government they have”.

    “In God we trust.” Which god? Answer: Any old god you wish. The problem with the motto is that it can be used by Christian, Muslim, Mormon, and New Age-er alike. The motto is an affirmation of Amerian Civil Religioun, not Christianity which formed this nation. Here is the fix. Add just two words:: “In THE TRIUNE God we trust.” “…One nation under THE TRIUNE God…with liberty and justice for all.” Now THAT would start a fight for sure, and would be a motto worth fighting over. Think any national legislator will step up to the plate?

  • Pamela

    With all of the other “down with the Constitution” and National destruction of our Bill of Rights going on in Washington, the distrust the citizens feel for this Administration at this time, Ron Paul just placed another nail in his coffin. Instead of supporting the “waste of time” and confirming our National Motto he calls it a waste of time. I call not standing up to all of the Executive Orders, forcing Kagan and the Sot in the Supreme Court to recuse (recluse) themselves from Supreme Court Hearings on National Health Care, standing firm and demanding Eric Holder remove himself as head of the DOJ, etc., to be major issues they are like Ron Paul’s Foreign Policies just wrong for the most part you cannot ignore everyone. The Senate is blocking votes on Legislation passed by the House and I see these people out running around campaigning instead of doing their jobs. Not responding to major issues when questioned by many concerned citizens so this piece of Legislation showing support of a National Motto was not a waste of time but a show of support stating firmly as a Nation we still have faith in a supreme being (look up the definition of God, it is none demoninational) to show yet again how out of touch Ron can be.

    Wow, what a s.h.i.t storm on this one! My viewpoint may be a little different on this one, so in no particular order here it is:

    1) The United States of America is a Christian country and was founded as such, screw Obama. I do not want to hear about that Jefferson deist crap, he did not found this great country by himself, what about the other 250 (+-) founding fathers? And the 11,000 dead who paid with their lives?
    2) It is generally good to have principals, better when they are consistent, even better when you learn something and refine these principles. But beware; Lenin, Stalin & Mao had principles, (and very bad ones at that)!
    3) The President of the United States of America should be a leader; a true leader! The President must be a moral and God fearing leader of the people, showing by word and deed the direction we must go.
    4) For far too long have we allowed God to be removed from the public square, and yet we expect Him to pull us out of the fire. We have ceased praying in private and in public, removed Him from our schools and look what has happened! Society in general and our schools in particular have degenerated, this is not mere coincidence!
    5) This vote may have been largely symbolic in nature, but on another level quite important. It is not a matter of the constitution, it is a matter of where you stand in the war against evil, are you a member of the forces of light or are you in the armies of darkness?
