“Life is precious. … You’ve heard all of the arguments…. But as an OB doctor, let me tell you: life does begin at conception.
Also, it’s very legal….”

“During the 1960s…, cultural changes were occurring. and that is when abortion became commonplace. So the people change before the laws change. So morality has a lot to do with legislation.
We don’t have abortions today because the law permits it. That’s made it worse, but the law accommodated the social changes that occurred. It was the breakdown of our social system at that time.”

“It is getting to be epidemic that the family values, and the families have broken down, and this is where our real problems come from. We would like to think all we have to do is elect the right politicians and everything is going to be okay. But believe me, the government is a reflection of the people. That’s why the burden is on people like you to make sure that we have those values.”

Citing 1 Samuel 8, Paul recalls how Israel wanted a king as a substitute for God:
“I don’t think we need a king and we don’t need Washington to act as if they’re the king!”

“What about a biblical understanding about what honest money is about? What about honest weights and measures and no paper currency and no Federal Reserve that destroys our currency? There’s nothing moral about our financial system and our monetary system. And this recent breakdown of our system is proof positive of it.”

“Since the Crash of 2008, our dollar actually has been devalued 50% against gold. So therefore look out for trouble. The odds of us cutting back over on the hill and live sensibly aren’t very good. So we are going to be challenged.
We are going to be challenged because we will not be able to depend on our king. … You’re going to have to depend upon yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbors and your church to be prepared.”

“The people that ought to be sacrificing are the people who ripped us off in the building up of the bubble, and then we went and bailed them out and they’re making big bucks again. And the people who are suffering is the middle class. They lost their jobs; they lost their mortgages; they lost their houses. A moral society would not let that happen.”

“The educational system should be through the family and the church. We should be promoting home schooling and private schooling and not depending on our public school system!”

Excerpt from News with Views:
The only presidential candidate who has a commitment to saving the lives of unborn babies and who understands the constitutional authority of Congress to end abortion-on-demand is Texas Congressman Ron Paul (with the exception of Alan Keyes, who recently announced his candidacy). You read it right. At this point, John McCain is all talk; Mitt Romney is all talk; Fred Thompson is all talk. And even Mike Huckabee is all talk. …
When it comes to ending abortion-on-demand and overturning Roe v. Wade, the only thing Mike Huckabee (and the rest of the Republican presidential candidates, save Ron Paul and Alan Keyes) will say is that they will appoint the right judges, as if they have no power as President to do anything else. (Good grief! Even Rudy Giuliani says as much.) …
Ron Paul seems to be the only presidential candidate who understands that under Article. III. Section. 2., the Constitution gives to the Congress of the United States the power to hold rogue courts in check and to overturn outlandish rulings such as Roe v. Wade.
Accordingly, Ron Paul has introduced and reintroduced the Sanctity of Life Act (including in the current Congress). If passed, this Bill would recognize the personhood of all unborn babies by declaring that “human life shall be deemed to exist from conception.” The Bill also recognizes the authority of each State to protect the lives of unborn children. In addition, this Bill would remove abortion from the jurisdiction of the Court, thereby nullifying the Roe v. Wade decision. The Bill would also deny funding for abortion providers. In plain language, the Bill would overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion-on-demand.
Is it not more than interesting that “pro-life” President George W. Bush, along with the “pro-life” Republican Party leadership of both houses of Congress, refused–and continues to refuse–to support Ron Paul’s Sanctity of Life Act? In addition, not a single “pro-life” presidential candidate outside of Ron Paul has even bothered to mention the Sanctity of Life Act, much less aggressively call for its implementation with a promise that, if elected President, he would sign it into law. Not Huckabee; not McCain; not Thompson; not Romney; none of them! …
Every four years, Republicans trot out a conservative façade during an election season for the purpose of obtaining the votes of susceptible Christians. And every four years, conservative Christians–like starving catfish–take the bait: hook, line, and sinker.
“Save us from the monster,” seems to be the cry of well-meaning–but easily manipulated–conservatives. The “monster” is whoever the Democrats nominate, of course. But, ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party has done absolutely nothing to change the course of the country. Nothing! In fact, it has only gotten worse with Republicans in charge.
Ron Paul is the only candidate running against the status quo. He is the only candidate who takes his oath to the Constitution seriously. He is the only candidate who, if elected, would actually turn the country around. A Ron Paul victory would launch a new American revolution: a revolution of freedom and independence such as we have not seen since 1776. Furthermore, among the major Republican presidential contenders, Ron Paul is the only candidate whose pro-life commitment extends beyond rhetoric.
