Christian Business Daily Endorses Ron Paul

Christian Business Daily has officially endorsed Ron Paul for President of the United States. In an article written by David G. Johnson they cite numerous reasons the chose Dr. Paul.

ChristianBusinessDaily.com:

The reasons for our selection of Congressman Paul are numerous, but can be summarized by what we esteem in his personal character, ethics, integrity, consistent sound economic and monetary policy record, and his grasp of foundational concepts that promote the freedoms that were hard-won by the Founders and codified by the framers of the U.S. Constitution.

...

We recognize that it is only in a free society that we, as Christians and as businesspeople, will be able to live out our God-given individual purposes without ungodly restraint of over-intrusive government, without having our values and freedoms trampled upon, and without theft of our families' resources – whether via direct taxation or through the creation of additional burdensome national debt.

... As a Congressman, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the Constitution, to limited government, to individual freedom, to property rights, and to sound economic policy. His positions on issues facing our nation today are most closely aligned with what we believe to be the Biblical positions.

...

We urge our readers to give thorough consideration to the field of candidates and cast their vote in favor of the liberty that made our nation great. Cast a vote for Ron Paul.

Not only do they promote Dr. Paul and his consistent positions of civil and economic freedoms, but they also comment on the poisoning of the term "conservative."

We recognize a number of disturbing trends within the ranks of so-called "conservatives" in recent history, including a near-Socialist commitment to furthering the creation of a paternal State promising its people health care and other entitlements traditionally supported by liberals. The field of Republican candidates in the current election cycle is dominated by supporters of unhealthy taxation and wealth redistribution schemes that fund unethical and immoral initiatives, promote dependence over personal responsibility, and contribute to the further degradation of liberty.

They also address the issue of electability that has kept many individuals from considering Ron Paul as a viable candidate.

We recognize that there are questions regarding his ability to win the nomination of the Republican Party – particularly in light of the strong media spin which has virtually ignored his candidacy and his record-breaking support. We also recall from history the Presidential election of 1860, in which there were four strong Republican candidates for President. Abraham Lincoln was elected to the highest office in the land in a strongly-contested battle. He won only 39% of the popular vote.

Some people out there may not believe that Dr. Paul is electable, but the truth is that the Republican race is far from over. Any true Christian or businessman that tasks a good honest look at the field of candidates should determine, like ChristianBusinessDaily, that Ron Paul is the best candidate to reflect their views.
