Sen. Rand Paul: ‘American Taxpayer Dollars’ Are Funding ‘A War Against Christianity’
Source: Mediaite
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) warned of a “war on Christianity” on Thursday, which he contended the U.S., through its taxpayers, is funding. The remarks were made at a luncheon hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
“It’s clear that American taxpayer dollars are being used in a war against Christianity,” Paul said at the event.
He further added, “It angers me to see my tax dollars supporting regimes that put Christians to death for blasphemy against Islam, countries that put to death Muslims who convert to Christianity, and countries who imprison anyone who marries outside their religion.”

The same can be said for the other kooks that populate the Repug party: Cruz, Paul, Gohmert, Bachmann, Johnson, etc............
Then what the fuck is an elected Senator doing speaking at a "Faith And Freedom Conference?" They just don't get it do they?
Oh, yeah, thanks a lot, Rand.

While preparing up for the 2016 presidential election, Rand Paul visited Israel in a trip that “was arranged by the American Family Association and included 53 prominent evangelicals and conservative activists...”
Guests included top Religious Right organizer David Lane, anti-gay activist Tamara Scott of Concerned Women for America and birther leader Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily. Farah praised Paul in his column today and saluted his opposition to foreign aid and marriage equality...
Farah and AFA spokesman Bryan Fischer have blamed the Sandy Hook shooting on the lack of school prayer, endorsed birther conspiracies, likened gays to terrorists and the Taliban, seek to restrict Muslim immigration and predicted that the Obama administration will use special security forces to persecute political opponents...

Of Broken Clocks, Presidential Candidates, and the Confusion of Certain White Liberals
By Time Wise January 12, 2012
...And please, Glenn Greenwald, spare me the tired shtick about how Paul “raises important issues” that no one on the left is raising, and so even though you’re not endorsing him, it is still helpful to a progressive narrative that his voice be heard. Bullshit. The stronger Paul gets the stronger Paul gets, period. And the stronger Paul gets, the stronger libertarianism gets, and thus, the Libertarian Party as a potential third party: not the Greens, mind you, but the Libertarians. And the stronger Paul gets, the stronger become those voices who worship the free market as though it were an invisible fairy godparent, capable of dispensing all good things to all comers — people like Paul Ryan, for instance, or Scott Walker. In a nation where the dominant narrative has long been anti-tax, anti-regulation, poor-people-bashing and God-bless-capitalism, it would be precisely those aspects of Paul’s ideological grab bag that would become more prominent. And if you don’t know that, you are a fool of such Herculean proportions as to suggest that Salon might wish to consider administering some kind of political-movement-related-cognitive skills test for its columnists, and the setting of a minimum cutoff score, below which you would, for this one stroke of asininity alone, most assuredly fall...
Exactly when does one become too much of an evil fuck even for you? Inquiring minds seriously want to know.
Meanwhile, at what point do you stop being so concerned about whether a presidential candidate is pushing the issues Paul raises (so many of which do need raising and attention), and realize what every actual leftist in history has realized, but which apparently some liberals and progressives don’t: namely, that the real battles are in the streets, and in the neighborhoods, and in movement activism? It isn’t a president, whether his name is Ron Paul or Barack Obama who gets good things done. It is us, demanding change and threatening to literally shut the system down (whether we mean Wall Street, the Port of Oakland, the Wisconsin state capitol, Columbia University, a Woolworth’s lunch counter, or the Montgomery, Alabama bus system) who force presidents and lawmakers to bend to the public will.
In short, if you’re still disappointed in Barack Obama, it’s only because you never understood whose job it was to produce change in the first place. But don’t take out your own failings in this regard on the rest of us, by giving ideological cover and assorted journalistic love taps to a guy who believes the poor should rely on the charitable impulses of doctors to provide for their medical needs, including, one presumes, chemotherapy; or that America was meant to be a “robustly Christian” nation, but is being currently undermined by “secularists;” or who puts the term gay rights in quotation marks when he writes it, and believes states should be free to criminalize homosexual intercourse, and who is such a homophobe that he won’t even use the bathroom in a gay man’s house; or who has all but said that he would like to take America back to the early 1800s, in terms of the scope of government: a truly glorious time to be sure, if you were white, male and owned property.

There is no ideological difference between Ron and Rand Paul. It's proven by his actions since taking office. Those who have been paying attention and don't want him and the reactionaries to take us back the Very, Very Bad Old Days, don't support him or his supporters.
Some Tea Party Congressman said "The next time your liberal friends quote separation of church and state. Remind them it didn't come from Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. It came out of Adolf Hitler's mouth! So the next time your friends ask that, ask them why they're Nazis."
Along side Thomas Jefferson's actual quote from the letter to the Danbury Baptists saying he believes firmly in the separation of church and state.
There aren't enough 
for that kind of stupid!
The suckers abound.
