Ron Paul: Why Can't We 'Put Into Our Body Whatever We Want?'

“If we are allowed to deal with our eternity and all that we believe in spiritually, and if we’re allowed to read any book that we want under freedom of speech, why is it we can’t put into our body whatever we want?” Paul told more than 1,000 people at a rally in Vancouver, a suburb of Portland, Ore.

The answer you seek Dr. Paul, is simply this: Not everything available to put in our bodies is benefitial nor wise to ingest. With freedom comes great responsibility. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I will agree with at least one tidbit Dr. Paul shared in his speech from his Vancouver rally "The wealth of our country is gravitating to the few. In a free society their will always be rich people. The rich make a lot of profit because they sell prducts we like and need and there should be nothing wrong with that."

President Obama wanted high gas prices way back in 2008!

Gas on the rise again! Ask yourself, after three years as President; is this STILL George Bush's economy? Obama thinks so. Had he supported the extraction and use of USA's own natural resources three years ago (by means of new oil explorati...on) instead of asking other countries to extract theirs, the USA could have long since been debt free and holding its own! I guess the President believes that as long as we’re not damaging the USA's environment (which is a fallacy in of itself), then that makes us "better" people.

During a June 10th, 2008, interview with CNBC, then-candidate Obama said this: I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money into their pockets, but also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more quickly, particularly US automakers, then I think ultimately, we can come out of this stronger and have a more efficient energy policy than we do right now.

Aren't you glad that in 2008 Obama took steps to help you people make the adjustment by putting more money into your pockets? Oops, I forget, that was simply more empty rhetoric from the President.
