I'm only the only one who finds it disturbing that
so many other Christians bring this up and make an issue of it :freak:
Pornography is a huge problem in the United States, even Christians struggle with it. I believe I was talking about Ron Paul and how the Libertarian Party platform defends the legalization pornography

I had discussed in another thread how the pervert defended virtual child pornography.
"...while I share my colleagues' revulsion at child
pornography, I do not believe that this justifies expanding the federal police state to outlaw distribution of pornographic images not containing actual children.

They don't come any sicker than Ron Paul.

That's quite an article:
Ted Cruz, born-again libertarian
His team has been working for months to take Rand Paul's support. Now Paul is out, and the takeover attempt is in full effect. By Katie Glueck 02/03/16 05:21 PM EST Updated 02/03/16 05:29 PM EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter HENNIKER, N.H.— Bill O'Brien knew exactly what to do when Rand Paul officially dropped out of the 2016 race. He went on a dialing spree. O'Brien, one of Ted Cruz's New Hampshire co-chairs and a former state House Speaker, had tried "15 to 20" state reps by noon, looking to pull Paul supporters over to team Cruz. Former U.S. Senator Bob Smith, another co-chair for Cruz here, did much the same when he heard the news in the midst of an MSNBC appearance. Back on the Cruz campaign bus, he too was calling Paul-aligned activists and lawmakers, and even members of Paul's leadership team. It's not a coincidence that Cruz's co-chairs had an identical game plan: they've been courting Paul's supporters for months, hoping to siphon support away from a campaign on its last legs. Now those legs have given out, and Team Cruz is ready to pounce. In their pitches, Cruz's supporters are mixing an homage to the Paul family while claiming common ideological ground. “We respect and admire Sen. Paul’s defense of liberty over the many, many years, as well as his dad’s, and we would welcome his support because we think we have many likeminded views, especially on liberty, freedom and the Constitution,” Smith said when asked to sum up the messaging. Smith and O’Brien declined to say how many Paul supporters had already come on board as of late Wednesday morning, but Smith said the number was “significant.” “There’s an openness to moving over the Sen. Cruz. I think they recognize that if they’re looking for a constitutional conservative, there’s one remaining in the race,” O'Brien said. Representatives for Cruz wouldn't say whether the candidate himself was making calls, but on Tuesday night, Cruz was already telegraphing his plans to pitch to libertarians. “Part of the reason we are more competitive in New Hampshire than the typical conservative is, we’ve got enough support on the libertarian side that it backfills,” Cruz told reporters in a late-night conversation on his plane ahead of Paul’s announcement. “That’s fairly unusual.” “But I’ve always thought our greatest strength was breadth. Iowa you’ve got more evangelicals, New Hampshire you’ve got more libertarians," Cruz continued. "Why I talk about the Reagan coalition so often is, most candidates are either, conservatives compete in Iowa, moderates compete in New Hampshire. Usually you can’t do both.” For all the optimism, Cruz remains an unnatural fit for New Hampshire, the second-most secular state in the country. And his New Hampshire challenges were evident as he stumped here Wednesday. He recalibrated his stump speech early in the day, focusing more on themes of economic freedom and defending the constitution, cracking jokes about government phone tapping and name-checking the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Tenth Amendments. “There are all sorts of areas where the federal government has no business sticking its nose,” Cruz told the crowd. He also downplayed some of the social issues that he had emphasized in his bid to court Iowa's evangelicals. (He did continue to pray on the podium and quote Scripture, but his closing prayer was rushed and quieter than usual.) But even the tailored approach, at times, fell flat: "We need to protect the 10th Amendment, or as President Obama calls it, 'the what?'" he cracked. When the crowd responded with only a smattering of laughter, he said to one man, "You like that one." Polls show Cruz is a strong candidate to finish second in New Hampshire, but he still lags far behind Donald Trump. Cruz has hovered around 12 percent in state polls, while Trump has polled in the high 20s and 30s. (Paul consistently languished in the low single digits.) Those polls, however, came before Cruz's win in the Iowa caucus. And his team insists that they don’t believe that the senator will win the state, an effort to manage expectations. But on Tuesday night, Cruz acknowledged that he is trying for first place anyway. “I don’t know if we’re going to win New Hampshire,” Cruz said. “I hope we will. We’re going to try to.” Winning over Paul's supporters would help in that effort, but even if Cruz's supporters were immediately ready to reach out to Paul backers, manyof Paul's supporters may take time to mourn before moving on. “I think a lot of people are still processing, but probably I would say, Sen. Cruz might be a benefactor of some of that,” said a former top Paul official familiar with the state. “I’m sure some of those people are looking at him as the next-best option.” By late afternoon, at a stop in Goffstown, Cruz had found a warmer crowd--with several former Paul supporters in attendance who said they were still shopping around, but were open to him. "I'd like to see people consolidate around a viable alternative, I would like to see that," said Leah Wolczko, a state employee who has reservations about what she perceives as Cruz's foreign policy hawkishness, but is now considering him after Paul dropped out. "I would like to see us come out with a candidate we can live with." She continued: With Paul out of the race, aside from Cruz, "there is no one else."

Watch as Cruz continues to court the libertarian vote...

like marbles on glass
How many libertarians would vote for a hawk like Cruz?
Also, I keep seeing this photo, does anyone have context for it?
As I've mentioned many times before in other threads: Ted Cruz, like Ronald Reagan, wisely isn't solely relying on the Evangelical Christian vote (there will be many Christians who won't vote for Cruz because he simply doesn't go to their church or they don't vote at all: it's that "Jesus is returning soon to clean up this mess!" ideology) and is courting libertarian leaning voters. It's a brilliant move and is working well thus far.
The die hard Israel haters (the hardcore Ron Paulbots) won't ever vote for Ted Cruz, but I highly doubt that Cruz wants those racist/anti-Semitic nutcase votes anyway.

As mentioned many times before, even though Daddy Paul is a certified lunatic, he does have some understanding of the United States Constitution. Therein lies the connection between Ted Cruz (who understands the Constitution extremely well) and the nutcase Ron Paul.

Back to embarrass yourself today?
I don't hate you and couldn't care less about your never ending soapbox That's why I've never posted in it :duh:
I know it makes you feel important, like a warrior perhaps. You feel like you're fighting the good fight.
Keep telling yourself that you're making a difference and that you're not wasting your life...
Alright, since you're a authority on these matters, tell me the differences between Ron Paul and Ted Cruz, politically speaking.

Try to be gentle with me Aaron, as you can see from looking at my avatar, I am a delicate little wallflower.
But it does sound like you do care Aaron:

How about you do your best to represent the Libertarian nutcase Ron Paul and I do my best to represent Senator Ted Cruz?
Tell us what you'd foresee had Ron Paul been elected President (besides one huge dope fest at Libertarian Party Headquarters).

You can't avoid yourself dude...
Telling that you can't answer a very straightforward question as to whether a white supremacist site such as Creativity Movement isn't a nutcase outfit however, especially considering how you berate others for racism?
Why is that exactly?
:think:

Because being the drama queen that you are, and being devastatingly frustrated with a 4 part thread on the recriminalization of homosexuality, you think you can defeat the message by calling it's author a racist. Being that I'm used to homosexualists like yourself using smokescreens to try and keep the truth from coming out, your little smokescreen didn't phase me the first time you used it Arthurrrrr, and it hasn't phased me all of the other times you've used it.
Now if you want to refute the information that was placed into the Congressional Record about the baby murdering, sodomite loving, plagiarizing, woman beating, communist sympathizing Martin Luther King Jr., here is the article that you're referring to.

Oh and Art: If you insist on continuing this little limp wristed rant of yours, I'm going to ask you to ask Aaron how his hero Ron Paul felt about MLK Jr. having a national holiday.
Now start refuting or go make yourself useful at the hair salon.
