The one thing that his supporters are very good at is packing auditoriums Similar to this one and we've seen it at CPAC for the past couple of years turning out in force for straw poll victories He did something very very effectively today He translated and connected his libertarian views and contemporary American politics with biblical passages. He made reference to Biblical passages being Sign of the dangers of centralized large a government He said that the morality of the people can be translated into laws, but that laws cannot change the morality of the people He even used biblical passages to make reference to the failed monetary policy of the United States of America. Here's this reference to that About the time we had rovers as Wade We also had the breakdown of our monetary system The rejection of the biblical admonition that we have honest waste and measures and honest money All of that went over very very big among these social conservatives gathered at this hotel today He got a very good reception here This auditorium was packed for his remarks this morning and then shortly after that at a meet and greet ceremony the line to meet him stretched literally hundreds of people long I've seen anything like that in quite some time So he's got quite a following here and in his remarks this morning He addressed and equated his libertarianism to the teaching of the Bible in many respects He's he's cited several biblical passages one of them from the book of Samuel chapter one. I think it was verse eight Where he talks about the people of Israel wanting a king and and Samuel talks about the danger of that here's Ron Paul In Samuel although he knew he wasn't going to be along around long He advised the people of Israel Not to accept the king because the king he warned would not be generous He would undermine their liberties. There would be more wars. There would be more taxes I'm Paul went on to say that the governing body that most matters in everybody's life is their family And he said that we in Washington have been paying away too much attention to the king as of lay that the that the line got a lot Of applause in this auditorium Heather
