Cleary Ron Paul has no affiliation with the Chalcedon Foundation. When you are libertarian you will attract all kinds of folks, both good and bad. <BR/> <BR/>As a point of correction though the Chaledon Foundation and those that lead the movement cannot be properly called "fundamentalist Protestants." Rushdoony, North, Bahnsen, and deMar were/are confessional Christians, specifically Calvinist. And not every Christian who follows the reformed profession of faith embraces theonomy.Fr. D.L.

If and when we do, it would, I hope, be more humane and even "realistic," to use a much-distorted word. <BR/><BR/>But before everyone starts going ga-ga about Ron Paul, let's beware those posts on the "Chalcedon" site. Everyone should know that that's the site for the Reconstructionist movement, a small but vocal and influential gorup of fundamentalist Protestants who promote the imposition of Mosaic law -- that's juridical as well as moral -- on the nation. (Yes, that includes stoning for offenses, and the acceptance of debt slavery.) They've also held up the Confederate South as a model of "Christian civilization." I'm certainly not accusing Paul of endorsing these ridiculous sentiments, but it should give anyone pause before supporting him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
