Ron Paul is an evangelical fundamentalist Christian who does not accept evolution. When asked about his response in a recent debate regarding acceptance of the theory of evolution and if it should be taught in public schools, he responded:

At first I thought it was a very inappropriate question for the presidency to be decided on a scientific matter and I think it's a theory... the theory of evolution and I don't accept it as a theory.

He did not answer whether he supported teaching of it in public schools.

His answer betrays the fact that he does not understand the difference between everyday use of 'theory' (a guess or conjecture) and the scientific use of theory

Ron Paul's "We The People Act" would:

reverse not only Roe v Wade but Griswold v Connecticut and Lawrence v Texas and every other ruling related to a right to privacy as well. That means the states could once again outlaw homosexuality and the use of contraception (and if you don’t think there are powerful political interests that favor doing both of those things, you haven’t been paying attention). It erases virtually every single church/state ruling in the last century, allowing public schools to once again force students to read the Bible aloud and to recite state-composed and mandated prayers. That is every bit as crazy as Newt Gingrich’s absolutely insane anti-judiciary policy proposals. And it is an absolute deal-breaker for me."

no minimum wage, shutting down of the borders, no EPA, He also supports the existence of monopolies...all of this in the guise of supporting "the free market"

Ron Paul also wants to end social security and medicare/medicaid. He has also sponsered and introduced several acts to consider "life starting at inseption" which would make abortions murder.

Ron claims to be a strict constitutionalist, yet when it came to flag burning (a 1st amendment protection) he would have gladly ignored the seperation of powers and the job of the judicial branch to translate in the name of "states rights". What other 1st amendment rights would he have gladly removed from the supreme court and allowed states to interpret instead? He has also opposed stem cell research.

He is opposed to govt helping victims of disaster, opposed to damn near any tax as "theft", opposes birthright citizenship as described in the constitution, completely opposed to civil rights, repeal the 14th 16th and 17th amendment, does not believe in the seperation of church and state, does not believe the 1st amendment of the federal constitution applies to states, ...

Ron Paul also flip flops ("Im a strict constitutionalist" vs his obvious anti bill of rights views)

Depending upon who Ron Paul is talking to, his rhetoric is more or less radical, but he's never backed off his claims of completely shutting down a huge area of government departments and services, and whenever he's asked about how society would function, his standard response is to evade the question and spew a red herring: "Why do you hate the Constitution? None of these things are Constitutional"
