Ron Paul's "A Foreign Policy of Freedom (http://mises.org/books/foreign_policy_freedom_paul.pdf)" lays for his audience a narrative. A narrative of "Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship.

Let's take a look at that scenario as it plays out in the 21st century...

Here we have Adam Kokesh, a respectable interviewer, asking honest questions of the good doctor Ron Paul. The conversation is friendly, informative, and respectful. Adam Kokesh & Ron Paul demonstrate a warm comfortable way to interact with each other in our life.

Watch the video,

Here we have Sean Hannity, a disrespectful Washington D.C. insider, asking dishonest questions of the good doctor Ron Paul. The conversation is aggressive, manipulative, and disrespectful. Sean Hannity demonstrates a cold tense way to attack a fellow human being.

Watch this liar ... especially at 2:50... Ron is trying to get Sean to understand some basic truth... but Sean rudely interrupts Dr. Paul. Listen on... @ 5 minutes into the interview the good Dr. Ron Paul states, "How Many Did We Have To Kill to Prove That?" Seriously, Sean.? How many do we have to kill to prove that? How many, Sean? Tell us. How many? Don't gloss over human life. How many? Sean never answers. Sean Hannity is a pathetic human being.

Then Sean rudely interrupts Ron Paul again.

Sean Hannity, we do not believe your bullshit. We do not believe the bull crap that Mark Levin spews, We do not believe the nonsense that Bill O'Reilly "The Spin Zone.. Spins." We absolutely do not believe the stupid stuff that Maha Rushie ... propagandizes. You lying assholes have a lot of explaining to do, if you want to avoid the wrath of the masses, then start by telling the truth. We have the truth at our fingertips.

Personally, I prefer Ron Paul's "Policy of Freedom" over Sean Hannity's "Policy of Lyin Aggression." But that's just me.

Yes, conservative Christians especially (of which I am one) should welcome and invite this diplomatic way of non-aggression.


Besides the clear teaching of property, free markets, and peace in Scripture, Christian evangelism is nurtured and promoted when we engage in a foreign policy of peace.


For all of the murder and intervention our recent policies have caused in the middle east, our cause for evangelism has been stifled...probably for a very long time. There are NO MORE Christian churches in Iraq. Middle eastern countries are going through revolutions which are imposing regimes that hate America and Christians even more than what they did previously.


The gospel is never promoted by force. Freedom, prosperity, individualism, is never promoted by force. Being a Christian, I come at this issue from what the Scripture teaches:



Hebrews 12:14

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.


Psalm 34:14

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

I was previously a typical neocon who supported any war in our history. When I read the amazing predictions of Ron Paul on the economy and the housing bubble, I took an interest in what he had to say. I started reading more and more. I had a hard time with his foreign policy (because I had to overcome all the false propaganda I had ingested my whole life). His book, "A Foreign Policy of Freedom" is what really changed my thinking the most. It was amazing to read all his statements as a congressman on foreign policy over 3 decades. I was shocked by how correct and consistent he was... It took some time, but I was fully converted.

Yes, I subconsciously wrote this thread for my brother. I wish Christians would curb their aggression. Live and let live. Let us live free.
