It simply asserted that Ron Paul's policies will violate the biblical role of government to "punish evil and praise good."
The rest of the article seems structured around the hope that we'll just take the author's word for it that the Bible requires our Federal Government to punish (or praise) actions that Paul would ignore.
But which actions particularly would Paul ignore that the *Bible* commands *the Federal Gov't* to punish?
As an aside, I notice that this site has attacked Ron Paul more than any other political candidate (correct me if I'm wrong). Which I assume indicates that, Steve, you believe that Ron Paul is the worst or perhaps most dangerous candidate?
"Libertarians like Ron Paul deny this fundamental biblical political principle."

Ooops that should have been from me, that was unintentional.
ReplyDeleteI didn't find this article very persuasive.
