[Michel Bauwens]

via  http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/28/1049410/-Ron-Paul-Really?

He does not believe the federal government should play any role in the
provision of health care.  He does not believe that illegal aliens should
be provided emergency health care.

Ron Paul doesn't believe in environmental protection . . . *at all*.  He
would rely on the market to protect the environment.  He does not believe
climate change is a major problem.

Liberals are angry because President Obama is wrestling with his own
beliefs and has not come out strongly in favor of gay marriage.


he does not believe the Federal government should interfere with the rights
of same-sex couples to marry, he does not support gay marriage - he
believes it should be up to individual states.

Ron Paul would never intervene in any situation, even for humanitarian
reasons such as Darfur or the Sudan. This includes "financial
interference".  He believes the U.S. should withdraw from the U.N.

He also believes we should erect a 700 mile long wall between the U.S. and
Mexico.

Ron Paul signed the Anti-Abortion Pledge.  He introduced the "Sanctity of
Life Act which defined life as beginning at conception.  He does not
recognize the right to privacy underlying Roe v. Wade

Ron Paul would eliminate the following agencies:  The Department of
Education,  The Department of Energy, The Commerce Department, Health and
Human Services, FEMA, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the IRS and
the Federal Reserve. He has signed a pledge not to raise taxes or create
new taxes.

Under Ron Paul, there would not have been *any* stimulus, and the auto
industry would be dead in the water.

Ron Paul does not believe the government has the right to institute an
income tax on anyone.  He has indicated he would support a flat 10% tax, or
a national sales tax, both of which are regressive and would have a greater
impact on the poor and middle class.

Ron Paul opposes *any* government interference with the free market,
especially any new regulations on Wall Street.

Ron Paul:

Does not believe in the separation of church and state.

Thinks school prayer should be allowed (but not mandatory)

Thinks the left "hates religion"

Introduced a bill that would allow pilots to carry guns on planes.

Introduce a bill making flag burning illegal.

Does not support any gun regulations, even against assault rifles.

Thinks the census collects information that is none of the government's
business

Opposed renewal of the Voting Rights Act.
