Re: Ron Paul quotation - Is it a hoax?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not American so I don't really have much thoughts about Ron Paul. So I'm not pro or anti in anyway, so don't read my comment that way.
I would however expect someone running or holding high office not to make public errors about the content of his nation's constitution, and that shouldn't really be an unreasonable expectation.

"Yes, the Constitution isn't replete with references to God (although as pointed out, it does mention him), but the writings of the Founders in general are. His point in that article is that the people who created this country were very much God-fearing types, and he's completely correct."
No, minor semantic mistakes when someone writes hundreds of thousands of words is not a big deal. It's going to happen. Expecting perfection out of a human is plain stupid. His point was correct, and that's what matters. It's also entirely possible that he meant the two documents combined, not separately, which would be correct.
