The Constitution Party's Religious Tolerance
Submitted by jron on Tue, 09/23/2008 - 15:13
From my blog post:
I've followed all things Paul related since the formation of his exploratory committee back in January. While I do not agree with all of Paul's personal beliefs, his record proved that he practiced tolerance; we could agree to disagree. He recognized the limitations of the federal government and believed difficult issues such as abortion should be left to the states despite his opposition to it. With Paul's recent endorsement of pastor Baldwin, it is our duty to scrutinize the Constitution Party. Are the excerpts below an example of the tolerance Dr. Paul practiced? Did the Constitution Party forget the First Amendment? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." The religion of this party is obvious based on their own "principles." The law of our Creator? What God has instituted? I intend on voting third party; however, I cannot vote for someone that believes the following issues are federal issues. Please feel free to post your feelings on the issue below. I'd love to hear from those who agree and especially those who disagree with my brief analysis.

We affirm the importance of Biblical scripture in the founders' intent as eloquently stated by Noah Webster: "The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitution and laws… All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts in the Bible."
...
The law of our Creator defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman. The marriage covenant is the foundation of the family, and the family is fundamental in the maintenance of a stable, healthy and prosperous social order. No government may legitimately authorize or define marriage or family relations contrary to what God has instituted.
...
Finally, we oppose any legal recognition of homosexual unions.
...
We affirm the value of the father and the mother in the home, and we oppose efforts to legalize adoption of children by homosexual singles or couples.
...
The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations...
