Although you profess to abhor seeing commentary about Ron Paul on the News Forum, you certainly appear to be willing to continue it, despite suggestions to do so where it more appropriately belongs.

Thanks though for revealing a source of the slant of your opinion - a "highly respected" blogger who takes Ron Paul's consistent track record of voting along constitutional lines and gives it the far left spin of implying every kind of imagined label and evil intent.  I know now where you are coming from - not long ago, I was there myself.  Happily, it is a place I have come from and not one where I still am.

So you see, there is hope.  A well intentioned, yet misguided left winger can wake up and smell the roses and see past the rose colored lenses and filtered information they have been fed - perhaps even see far enough to realize how it might be that Dr. Ron Paul, the ob/gyn who has delivered over 4000 babies into the world, could have looked down so many times upon the tiny miracle he had just helped deliver into the world and held in his own hands and believed that tiny life to be precious, and, having cared for it and devoted his skills to ultimately bring that life healthily from the womb since shortly after the moment of conception, have regarded it as a life - an unborn but human life - he had been caring for from the very first moment, and not some object with a dehumanizing sterile term such as zygote or fetus.

Perhaps that might explain his deeply held belief that such life is sacred, whether in his hands or in the womb, and not wish to see all the potential it had lying before it robbed merely for the sake of convenience.  And maybe he just might wish to see that child grow up as a free human being not enslaved by the government, but enjoying all of the rights to pursue life, liberty and happiness that our forefathers intended.

Lest you misunderstand, I am not an opponent of a "woman's right to choose", but I think that such a choice should not be made lightly or callously nor dehumanized by sterile labels that would have us think of a living organism as an inanimate object to be disposed of as easily as unwanted debris.  I still find it amazing to see how many people can be so concerned over the wolves in Alaska, baby seals, fighting dogs and chickens, spotted owls, snail darters, and the inhumane treatment of livestock (and I agree with all of those concerns too) and yet can so easily justify taking a developing human at whatever stage and rob their entire potential lifetime from them.

I may not oppose the right to choose, but I will surely not twist such a heartfelt issue or twist any other issues made on strongly held moral or constitutional beliefs to cast doubts on the man who, regardless of how many may agree or disagree with him, is recognized by his fellow congressmen and women of both parties as one of the most respected and honorable members of congress.

Odd how the leftwing do-gooders and rightwing neocons who would discredit Ron Paul in their blogs seem to ignore that fact. Odder still that Ron Paul's opponents would not be dragging out all of the ridiculous charges and labels that are applied by such "respected" blogging authorities.

Perhaps the words of the person who best knows Ron Paul of anyone in the world might shed some light on how Ron Paul came to be the person he is today - his wife of over 50 years, mother of his five children and grandmother of their 18 grandchildren, Carol Paul:

Now, you might notice that I have put aside my lance and not worked myself or Dulcinea into a lathered frenzy even though you once again called Ron Paul a "dick".  Fair warning though - civility and respect are a two way venue.
