Ron Paul Rocks Values Voters
Ron Paul speaks to supporters at the meet and greet following his speech at the 2011 Values Voters Summit.
I just returned from the Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC where Ron Paul won the straw poll and in my estimation, won over a lot of new converts.
Values voters are perhaps best described as Americans of faith who are concerned about this country’s moral health as well as its fiscal standing. The two are not only compatible but inextricably entwined, as no truly moral nation would saddle its children with the unfathomable burden our government does today. No morally upstanding nation would send its best and bravest into battle for vague and undefined reasons. Few if any Americans consider it moral to surrender their concrete historic liberties for a questionable security.
Paul explained his views to the audience, both as a concerned American and a concerned Christian, receiving a standing ovation from the packed crowd. Paul quoted different verses from the Bible to make his case for liberty, and it was obvious to many in the audience that this was not just another typical politician before them, anxious to wear his religion on his sleeve for mere political expediency.
Such intellectual and moral honesty was refreshing to those who could tell that Paul really meant every word he spoke. Likewise, it was not at all surprising to the countless in attendance who already knew that Ron Paul always means every word.
