Ok. Just so you know, Obama voted to fund the Iraq war. Ron Paul didn't.

I'm guessing he's making assumptions about our school system that are false due to him being not from here, but I dunno for sure.

I think (and it's tough to get into the mindset of midge) that ron paul in fact recieved an education which puts him forever in debt to the department of education. Midge if I'm wrong please correct me.

Yes, this is what I assumed. If you take out "school system" and replace it with "government" it applies to the majority of his posts.

Re: Ron Paul\'s glaring downfall
 

The point is that government was envisioned to be very small.

Also, churches can do voluntarily a lot of the things government does coercively, such as raise money for Katrina relief or feed the poor or house the homeless.

I think the key, the real reason Ron Paul emphasizes this is because he believes many of the financial burdens placed on the federal government (disaster relief, [federal?] welfare, etc) were intended to be handled by those "vital institutions", the churches - or other charities. I could be wrong though, but I know I've heard him advocate churches helping.

you and I, sir, are in complete agreement.

FYI MidGe:

Without the Department of Education, there would still be public schools. It would be very similar to what we have today, just without bureaucrats dictating what needs to be studied and how. The Department of Education doesn't actually educate, and without them, we wouldn't have less schools, just less departments.
