in Ron Paul’s Views On Race Will Be His Downfall on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
I told an atheist friend about Ron Paul, and he was completely gung ho on him until he saw that he was Christian. I'm amazed... because aren't all the candidates Christians? I believe a poll came out saying that an atheist would be less likely than a gay person to be elected as president.
Basically, Ron Paul is a Christian himself-- all the candidates are. He believes that all private organizations should do more things that the government currently does. Under him, taxes would be much lower and we could donate to private organizations more frequently, ones that do whatever we wish rather than having the gov. dictate where our money goes. For example, FEMA might not exist and after a disaster, the Red Cross-- which would have a lot more money than it does today from donations-- would come in and take care of it, not the government. Anyone who saw how unorganized FEMA was compared to the Red Cross after Hurricane Katrina will not object to this. The government just makes everything a bureaucracy and much more expensive than it really is.
So, because private organizations would have more money, both churches and other nonprofits would maybe have more money and do more things like AIDS relief in Africa, saving the environment, etc., all those do-gooder things that the goverment spends our money on now. However, he believes strongly in the separation of church and state and is much more for personal liberty and freedom than any other candidate.
If you read anything he writes, you know those quotes you cite are not his. They're not his style of writing or speaking, and he has said that racism is a "collectivist mindset that denigrates the individual".
