It is him or Bob Barr. Barr voted for the Patriot act without reading it.
Is Barr for NAFTA and GATT too?
I can vote for Chuck too. He is the best man running (and I would say that even if his "competition" were a whole lot better than McCain and Obama--to say that he is better than them is no great compliment). I would have loved to have seen a ticket with Ron and Chuck, that would have been as good as we could have wanted or hoped for.

I'll prolly end up voting for Baldwin, he seems to be only candidate left that actually has a soul. I guess that's what bothers me about Barr, he always seemed up for grabs.

The way I see it Baldwin is the very best running and I hope he makes it on the ballot where I live. If he doesn't there won't be much use in wasting the gas to go to the polls. I sure won't vote for McCain or Obama.

"Judeo Christian Values have always been part of Chuck Baldwins way of life. He believes that the values that have made America strong are just those values. (Sex education, birth control and "HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES" in schools. Remember, when the Judeo and the Christian values conflict, well, that's why the Judeo comes first!) Many people came to this country for religious freedom and Chuck Baldwin like others are proud of the fact that freedom is and always will be offered. (To the Judeos if not The Christians) As a Christian he knows that faith (in the dollar? In Israel? In The easter Bunny? Or, in Judeo Christian Values, heavy emphasis on the Judeo?)is something a person has to own and hold dear but can never be forced into.
We are asking for your vote, your prayers and your financial support. (because as George Carlin said, "He's all powerful all perfect all knowing and all wise, but somehow [God] just can't handle money!" And those with the most money have the most access to God! Just ask any blue suited Republican, like Chuck!) Please join us to help move America forward. Chuck Baldwin is the Real Deal.

Self-Imposed Halos, Self-Imposed Martyrdom
Are there Christians today who are actively seeking martyrdom? That might sound like a bizarre question, but perhaps it's not. There were plenty of early Christians who did actively seek martyrdom not a metaphorical martyrdom, but a real martyr's death. It appears to have gotten so bad that Christian leaders had to impose new rules and restrictions on Christians in order to reduce the number of unnecessary martyrs.
If the tendency existed in Christianity at the beginning, it shouldn't be a surprise if it continues through today in some form. Christians aren't still being thrown to genuine lions, but they do frequently complain of persecution if anyone dares disagree with them or suggests that they shouldn't be privileged. Some Christians actively seek out ridicule and contempt through deliberately obnoxious behavior. But for them, that's just being good Christians if atheists behaved with a fraction of such attitudes, the outcry is horrific. Read more...
And, remember, "true Christians" like raw porno and Chuck Baldwin!

Baldwin supports The Defense Of Marriage Act and and a national abortion ban. But, he (says he) believes that medical marijuana is a state issue and the feds shouldn't get involved.
Do you believe in a federal DOMA and abortion ban? Will an abortion ban stop abortions or create a black market and a new class of "criminals and border jumpers" just as Prohibition did and federal drug laws have done?
As a Christian pastor it would be incumbent upon him as president to punish anyone who went to Canada for an abortion just as our govt would punish someone who goes there for marijuana now.
Do you support codifying his morality into law and enforcing it with criminal penalties? Why is that preferable to Bush's? There are millions of cops and other "drug warriors" (hooked on asset forfeiture) who'd rather keep marijuana illegal and (forced to choose) keep legal abortion. To hear them tell it, marijuana is deadly and dangerous because that's what their "religion" teaches.
Shouldn't all who'd use the power of the state to enforce their personal beliefs get out of our bodies and out of our lives?
Why is one group of hypocritical kooks preferable to another?

Great reasons to vote for him.
Marriage should be defended. It is a man and a woman. Two queers do not a marriage make no matter how much they yell or for that matter no matter what the stinkin govt says.
You mean he isn't for killing innocent babies. Awesome, someone I can look up to.

I agree. It is Baldwin or a write-in for Bugs Bunny. Even a cartoon rabbit would be better than McO'Bummer.

When is the last time you walked by a Judeo Christian church? They are like apples and oranges. You could just as well have Bhuddeo Christian Churches. I'm starting to get a little tired of "our" Judeo values.
Do you believe in a federal DOMA and abortion ban? Will an abortion ban stop abortions or create a black market and a new class of "criminals and border jumpers" just as Prohibition did and federal drug laws have done?
Actually, I don't think the government should be involved in the marriage issue and don't believe in getting a license from the state to get married. As for the abortion ban, I am opposed to abortion and that is a perfectly libertarian position--non aggression, especially not against the innocent and who is more innocent than a baby? Would an abortion ban or law against abortion completely end abortions? No, of course not.
All I have said is that Chuck Baldwin is infinitely preferable to Obama, who doesn't even mind infanticide, and McCain, who seems to think that it is perfectly all right to kill any number of Americans in bs wars for the benefit of the MIC and the bankers.

That is what laws are supposed to be based on...Morality.
Wrong.
The laws should be based on The Constitution and the federal govt has long ago exceeded its limited jurisdiction, because stupid shits like you don't understand the true principles and only agree or disagree if its excessive if it's a bill you support or oppose.
According to the present cowards and schemers their "pseudo Christian morality" permits (and funds) the slaughter of Palestinians, Iraqis and any other innocents not protected by the highly dubious morality of which you speak.
The questions were posed to someone else for a reason. Your sophomoric reactionary neoconisms are just so much horseshit for people who can't think in the abstract long or deeply enough to understand the harm they cause with their (and your) draconian hypocrisy.
Save your shit for the next "rally of the stoopids".

If someone believes, as does Pastor Baldwin, that abortion is murder he would be untrue to his conscience to do otherwise than to oppose it.
I disagree with state intervention on it, but do find abortion to be tantamount to infanticide, and I do not share his particular religious beliefs.
Obviously you feel otherwise about abortion and thus wish to see your views codified.
Abortion is one of those issues that causes strong emotion because for those who oppose it they are opposing what they view as murder, and while you may disagree with that conclusion - given that viewpoint that the anti-abortion movement people have you must admire their commitment to their beliefs.
All governments are founded upon moral beliefs and codes. It is simply a matter of determining which one promotes the greatest good for the greatest number.

However, upon what codes of behavior and morality was the Constitution based?
If you read the writings of the Founding Fathers they were all strongly influenced by religious codes of morality. They may not have been born agin' fundamentalists but they very much were influenced by religious thought.
You cannot divorce just government from moral codes. Amorality is what has taken us close to the yawning abyss which beckons.

Bingo - rube, you win the prize for wittiest post today.
no..no..no...
Judeo Christain values. It is a value system based on the 10 commandments and other moral teachings in the Bible. They are compatible. They are the same. You can pretend that they aren't but people who know better will just laugh at you.
Obviously you feel otherwise about abortion and thus wish to see your views codified.
because dawg's against federal codification of abortion doesn't translate into his wanting codification of his views, does it? i believe his position, as is mine, is that abortion should be a state legislation issue and not federal. isn't this Ron Paul's opinion as well?
Ron Paul is wrong on that one. I was willing to let it slide and vote for him anyway because I know where he is coming from. But you can't have legal murder in one state and it illegal in another state. Legal murder is a very stupid idea.
I was just commenting within the narrow context of the post. As I pointed out I am opposed to Federal Government intervention even though I personally find abortion a repugnant practice. However, I do agree that abortion is not within the limited mandate granted the Feral Government by the Constitution, and I do not believe that the 3/4 majority necessary to pass an amendment outlawing abortion exists. So, to some degree it is a moot point.
Also Ron Paul expressed his opposition to the practice of abortion while still maintaining a Constitutionalist position.

I think that can hold true ONLY for Torah True Jews as opposed to Talmudists who wiggle and writhe to avoid the application of those Commandments to the lower animals - you know - non-Jews.

I don't think Obama is right up there with Hitler. I strongly disagree with his position on abortion. But he is no Hitler. I don't know but I suspect that Hitler would have been pro life when it came to Germans.
As for the abortion ban, I am opposed to abortion and that is a perfectly libertarian position--non aggression, especially not against the innocent and who is more innocent than a baby? Would an abortion ban or law against abortion completely end abortions? No, of course not.
You cannot take control of another person's body with the law and claim to support the non aggression principle. How would you even know if someone is pregnant without violating the principle and their right to privacy?
And, if Baldwin spoke out against America's military imperialism and demanded that the money stay in the pockets of taxpayers, (close 700 bases in 130 countries) then how many families would feel pressured to terminate pregnancies because we can no longer keep mothers at home and survive on a single income?
The federal govt is the cause of so many of the problems they pretend to try to solve (and always with criminal sanctions not "socialist subsidies" to expectant mothers because that money is earmarked for military contractors and Israel) and they, the true criminals create boogie persons (some class of citizens, but never "too much govt" or over reaching power hungry politicians and their fellow closet mates, Christian fanatics) to keep us from seeing the truth.
Does Baldwin have the courage to stand up and say "Christians don't need to hyphenate with "Judeos" and aren't dependent upon Jews, Israel, Zionism, or the ADL stamp of approval for legitimacy"?
Of course not. he's just another cowardly, Jooish bootlicking business-as-usual politician without as much apparent baggage at the starting gate.
Any attempt to sell him as "Ron Paul Lite" is horse shit.
Why don't you ask Chuck if he'd consider taking the billions in aid from Israel and spending it on poor mommies in America? Then watch how these "Christians" piously chirp why maintaining the Israeli war machine to slaughter unarmed innocents is "more holy" than saving unborn Americans.

Obama believes in murdering them even after they were born alive from an abortion which didn't "take." He is right up there with Hitler.
Okeedoekee... so you believe in the sanctity of life, I take it. What's your opinion on young lives of around ages 18-25 who are being sent out to fight and die in foreign locations, primarily sand locations for something other than US national defense? I speak of our young soldiers currently stationed in Eeeerak, dying for Israel/MIC/oil industry. Do you feel as strongly about protecting their lives, voting for a candidate who will bring them home ASAP, a top priority for our nation?
I said the values in the old testament and new testament are the same. A common value system or right and wrong. Do you understand now?
I fully understood you the first time, Old Friend, Judeo Christian values and THEIR REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS according to Garp, I mean, according to G_d.
You cannot take control of another person's body with the law and claim to support the non aggression principle. How would you even know if someone is pregnant without violating the principle and their right to privacy?
You cannot murder your child. What makes it ok one minute and not the next. What about if someone hits your wife in the stomach and kills the unborn. Should they be charge.? If you say yes then you are a hypocrite. If you say no then your a heartless SOB.
I say outlaw all abortions. If the bitch wants to get a back alley abortion and ends up bleeding to death. At least justice was served instantly with no judge or jury. Attempted murder...get it?

That is both unfair and untrue. Chuck Baldwin has been a staunch opponent of Zionist aggression, to the point of earning the coveted slur of anti-semite, in his opposition to Zionist actions. He has been in the vanguard in opposing the ADL's anti-free speech "Hate Law" legislation and has been instrumental in keeping it from passing.
I don't agree with him on everything but I think you are unfair to him based upon just one issue.

All governments are founded upon moral beliefs and codes. It is simply a matter of determining which one promotes the greatest good for the greatest number.
The problem with your broad brush understanding is, you could not file an intelligent legal brief to oppose an unconstitutional power grab because you don't understand the legal principle at stake.
For instance, when the federal govt passed a "gun free zone" around schools based on the interstate commerce clause it was overturned.
Do you know why?
When you can successfully argue that then you'll be skilled enough for a discussion of this type.
No offense but, you're just brow beating me with religious principles and they were not the first priority of those who drafted the constitution. In fact, you can do great harm without realizing it by reaching into the dark while puffed up with a sense of moral outrage and superiority.
There is no federal statute that outlaws murder. (except on federal reservations or in the commission of terrorism, etc, and other jurisdictional questions that make it a federal crime. Now if murder is REEL BAD and REEL IMMORAL then why isn't any murder automatically a federal crime?
Think about it.
The Branch Davidians were murdered and the feds told us they were child abusers. There were no federal child abuse laws that justified the machine gun/immolation murders of those people!
They were murdered under the guise of serving a search warrant for an item that would have required a two hundred dollar tax to be paid in order to be in compliance with the law.
Believe me, the govt ain't in the business of saving children. they are the number one threat to them, and if you advocate putting their safety in federal hands then you really need to study up some more. Once unborn children become wards of the federal govt then people like Bush will force mothers to take experimental vaccines that enrich drug companies and endanger children's lives. And all because you find abortion so morally reprehensible that you'll grab at any proposed solution including a deal with the demon himself to end it.
