Thanks, CathMomof7, that really helps. I haven't actually decided yet that I'm going to vote for him over Ron Paul, but I am considering it. Sanctorum is atleast anti-gαy, Paul is not.
parentsfortruth, I don't really get why we should legalize weed. Smoking it can cause damage to your body. Just look at a certain person here who smokes it, he cannot stop talking about it. Anyway, I agree with most of Ron Paul's views, i.e keeping the government out of marriage and other things, but his views on gαy marriage are wrong. He may not be for giving them more freedom than us, but he claims to be a Christian yet here he is wanting to allow them into the military. I'd vote for him over Obama any day, but as far as voting for him in the 2012 election, I don't know yet.
Darcy, where did you see that Sanctorum is a Zionist?
If we're going to outlaw a naturally growing plant, then we should also outlaw prescription drugs. Do you have any idea who runs all these pharmaceutical companies? nαzιS. So, of course, they want to outlaw anything that can be made easily by anyone else. MANY "legal drugs" have the SAME calming effect (but with HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS) as weed.
I don't use it. I've never used it. I never will use it, but to have the government stepping on people's ability to grow it and smoke it or eat it if they want to, is really just a control mechanism for the government so that BIG PHARMA can push their poisons with no competition.
There's a lot of research, both pro and con, for the weed. I happen to think that we'd save tons of money legalizing it, rather than locking someone up for years over it. Keeping it illegal is the reason it's pushed on children. If it was growing in many people's backyards, and they were using it, there wouldn't be as much of a desire to DO BAD by using it. Many people would try it once (or maybe not), and not use it again. The only reason it's desired is because it's illegal. Make it legal, you won't have that problem, you won't have full prisons full of people that didn't do anything violent and you could use the resources we have to prosecute and LOCK UP PEDOPHILES AND MURDERERS AND RAPISTS FOR GOOD and they won't get off on "good behavior" because NON VIOLENT people like people that use weed, wouldn't be in those prisons taking up unnecessary space.
We have the biggest prison population in the world. Wonder why? MONEY.
As far as gαys go, he doesn't believe in hate crimes. If you allowed gαys to go in the military, and you took away hate crimes, those gαys would get the message that they're not wanted there, and you would see a vast fleeing of gαys from the military. So if you look at it logically, it's not a bad thing he's a proponent of.
Also, as far as gαys being "married," he doesn't think it's the government's JOB to define marriage. That's the job of the Church. Sorry, but I agree. The government has no business issuing "marriage licenses" because why is it any of their business in the first place? I totally understand the position.
Sure, it's not a Catholic position, but tell me, is PERPETUAL UNJUST WAR a Catholic position? Is USURY a Catholic position?
I find these things FAR MORE REPREHENSIBLE than outlawing a plant, or letting gαys get their butts beat in when hate crimes are disappeared, or keeping the government out of marriage and letting society deal with that problem by VOTING WITH THEIR FEET and leaving "churches" that allow such things. Remember, he doesn't want anyone IMPOSING THEIR STANDARDS on us, and in a "free society," that makes sense.
Until we get a Catholic Monarch, we'll never get a decent leader. I think Ron Paul is the best choice in the interim with the choices we've been given thus far.
