These posts are not merely about Ron Paul. They're about the liberty movement and Christian Reconstructionism which has a growing influence on the right. Ron Paul represents a movement which has growing influence, not waning influence. Notice how Milton Friedman is no longer held in high regard by the far right.
Kirk Cameron’s Monumental Reveals Subtle Influence of Christian Reconstructionism http://www.religiondispatches.org/archi ... ructionism_/
Kirk Cameron, with his starring role in the post-rapture Left Behind movies and his efforts to support creationism, was once in the center of mainstream conservative evangelicalism. And, while in the past few years he had become involved in the Christian homeschooling movement, as well as Doug Phillips’ Vision Forum and the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (SAICFF), it was unclear whether he was promoting their views. In the weeks leading up to the release of Monumental, Cameron made numerous appearances ranging from CNN, to CPAC, to interviews with religious-right leaders where he embraced popularized versions of the Reconstructionist framework.
Combining a postmillennial attitude with the very language Reconstructionists use to argue a difference between a “top-down” theocracy and a “bottom up” reconstruction of society, he told Janet Mefferd:
"These guys were optimists. These guys saw a gospel with victory written all over it and believed it was unstoppable… They didn’t believe change happens from the top down, you build it from the bottom up and from your heart and then it slowly works its way out to every other sphere of society."

No, I've been a critic of Ron Paul for over a decade. His home schooling program confirms what he is really about. Before he started this school with Gary North, there was some doubt.
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 11:12-14
It says so right there in the bible he hats figs not fags.

"Liberty" as a keyword to let the free market dictate what is right and wrong is certainly bad, and that's what morons like Paul and his ilk believe.
Exactly. They also believe that liberty means Christians can "return American jurisprudence to Biblical foundations."
In 2008, Ron Paul endorsed Constitutional Party candidate Chuck Baldwin. This is from the party's national platform that year:
Ron Paul at the anti-Semite conference on Sept 11, 2013, talking to Fatima center head, Father Gruner.
Gruner added he is skeptical that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
“What exactly is Holocaust denial?” Bruner said. “Are we talking about the six million Jews that are alleged to been killed by Hitler?”
“A question that nobody has been able to answer for me, is how can you have six million die, and have 13 million left, when you only had 13 million to start with?” Bruner continued. “I think it’s impossible. But you know, I’m open-minded. I’ll listen to somebody who can prove it otherwise.”
The liberty to stone Dr J Jones for sucking dick. Ron Paul wants a secular govt to get out of the way so God can run the country via the chosen few.
Imagine this Dr J Jones. You come out of your favorite glory hole with dick on your breath and the community is waiting there with stones. That's Ron Paul's vision for America.
