Ace, he references freedom of religion but you apply that to everything he says. What he gave was an example what liberty should be and because we have freedom of religion, it was easy for you to apply religion to the entire description. That same description needs to be applied to drugs and hookers, like Ron Paul said whenever he was asked to clarify his statement. The federal government does not have the right to tell us who we can marry. Check out Loving v. Virginia. This case formed around the argument that blacks could marry whites. It was controversial, but whites could marry blacks because the federal government could not makes laws against it. Only states could if they pleased. You cannot say you stand up for liberty whenever you agree with the norm. You need to stand up for liberty across the board, and that's what Ron Paul has always stated. This should never be compromised. Even before I learned of Ron Paul, which was a long, long time ago, I held this belief.
Why do poorer people have more children? Because they tend to have more sex than richer people and even the factor of not affording contraceptives plays a role. Having sex is something that poor people can do for free while richer people can do other things that they use their money on. You have a television and PS3? Play games. You don't have anything in your house? Masturbate. This is a simple truth. The more people have sex and the unhealthier they are, the easier it is for STD's to spread. This is another simple truth. Transitively speaking, you can see how well financially and health-wise people are doing by looking at STD rates. I wasn't saying Rick Perry was supposed to stop them. I was saying that it is a trend reflective upon the economy and the standard of living. Guess who's a bigger player in determining those things? People with power. Looking at how bad Texas is doing in a lot of areas, would you say that Rick Perry, a man with the most power here, is helping the economy and well being of our people? I would say not. That's why I won't vote for him. He'd do the same thing to the US as Texas. Texas is going to have a lot of exporting no matter what happens. Rick Perry cannot take credit for that and he certainly cannot take credit for that without taking credit for the drop in standard of living. That's just counter productive and plain ignorant.
And did you happen to watch the video I posted about how Rick Perry accepts money from big companies and helps create and pass laws that directly help those companies out at the expense of our state and country? There are so many times when he's done this that it's uncalled for. The reason he keeps being elected is because these big companies keep paying him millions and no one can raise the funds to compete. Not like a Democrat would ever be elected in Texas or anything....
