Ron Paul Visiting Bethel
February 01, 2012 | 2:41 p.m.




                                                             Congressman Ron Paul.



Congressman Ron Paul of Texas will speak at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, in Benson Great
Hall. The event, sponsored by Bethel’s College Republicans, is free and open to the public, with
doors opening at 5 p.m. Andrew Baker, president of the College Republicans, said that the group
contacted all GOP presidential candidates in November to request a visit, and Ron Paul’s campaign
was the only one to accept the invitation. “Having one of the four remaining GOP candidates speak
on campus will provide the Bethel community with a great opportunity to hear relevant political
discourse,” says Baker. “His speech should inform Bethel students on important current issues that
our country is facing. Students can then form their own stances, deciding whether or not they agree
with his viewpoints.”


The Bethel College Republicans have 313 members. The group’s goal is to provide Bethel students
with the opportunity to hear great conservative speakers and volunteer for Republican causes and
events.

          Why would we want an illegal alien and distant cousin of the Bush's to speak. They are
          a bunch of frauds. Ron Paul is scaring the crap out of everyone becaue the Hollywood
          of Washington is over. Reagan was the best actor we had in my lifetime....too bad he
          sold out too.

       Even though I think your attempting to be funny here, and might I add failing at it,
       Nick Wolfe is the President of College Democrats.

be politically correct

          to more than one subsect of the nation?

Obama’s hope… hope you survive the drill to your skull during the abortion.
Obama’s change… change to socialism.
Ron Paul is the only constitution abiding, God fearing candidate left in the race.

          God fearing?? why does that matter? separation of church and state?? It seems to me
          Ron Paul wants to go back to something like the articles of confederation not the
          constitution. And you apparently don't understand the vast difference between
          liberalism and socialism.

democrats meet down at planned parenthood every Sunday morning at the 9 am

Many of these comments leave me incredibly disappointed in the future of Bethel if these are
attitudes that we have toward one another.

 I stumbled upon this accidentally. I'm a former professing christian and think that I would
 have reacted the same way as Freedomguy, true up, and Baconbits231 at one time in my life.
  However, reading those comments with a different outlook helps me realize how freaking
 rude and angry they sound. The guy asked about college democrats and got some venom in
 return. My guess is that you guys also consider yourselves humble Christ followers. Thats
not the message coming across.

I am highly concerned by the tone of these comments. We are a community of Christ
Followers, as is defined by the institution's core values. As such, we are part of one body,
brothers and sisters in Christ. Can we put aside party lines and live in Christ's reconciling
work? As Ephesians 2: 14-16 tells us:



"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier,
the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and
regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus
making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which
he put to death their hostility."

Brothers and sisters, please keep in mind that behind every label of Republican or Democrat
is a human soul created by God. People in both of those groups are Christ-followers, are
present at Bethel, and are worthy of this common respect.


We may disagree on the ideas and policies and let's have a healthy dialogue about those.
What we shouldn't do is use this comment forum as a way to insult people personally or to
make them a caricature by distorting their humanity or their motives.

As Baker mentions in the article, we have an opportunity to directly engage the current
political dialogue
of a possible presidential candidate within Bethel's walls. Let's make the most of that
opportunity by honoring each other in respectful dialogue over the issues and what they
mean to us as members of a political party, members of the body of Christians, and as
members of humanity.

I found many of these comments hilarious. Lighten up folks! Take a joke or two in the side.
Or has nobody heard of satire comedy before? Satires sometimes reveal a harsh truth about
ourselves or society or a certain person through comedy. Unless you can put yourself into a
new perspective, you leave yourself disadvantaged stuck in your own self-righteous world.
Oh and love the contextual analysis of Ephesians... I mean who knew that gentiles were
democrats and Jews were republicans. Missed that in my exegesis paper :/

Having survived Bethel and entered "the real world" I have to chuckle at many of the
comments on hear. I can see that 15 years Bethel still is full of fakers. Kudos to those of you
who are able to have a respectful dialog, think critically and don't just blindly inherit your
beliefs and views.

I’m with you Duster91. Nobody was personally attacked here. Great questions to ask
ourselves though! Frustratedwithingnorance-Why does it matter if you are God fearing or
not? During an abortion, is an innocent person being attacked? In socialist government, is
there theft and bondage? I can love you brother, and not love your sin because love is an
action not a feeling you get from a warm blanket. The guy makes a point and now all of
Bethel is "under attack"… how mean spirited!

         lost without Christ or saved and living in sin and you say nothing, you don't love that

       But this is no reason to think that every one is/should be a Christian. Yes we should
       live our lives in the glory of Our Lord but we should not be blinded from society with

              The only way we can be free of the condemnation of our sins is to believe on
              Christ. "I am the way the truth and the life and no man cometh to the Father but
              by me." - Jesus

I think people were attacked here, and I do not believe that there was any satire here. I think
people do need to lighten up and not be blinded by a Conservative Christian Status. Just
because I am a Democrat does not mean that I don't have any morals, am a socialist, and not a
Christian. This is what disturbs me with many acclaimed Republicans is that they have these
assumptions.

       From your above post, you seem not to be a believer at all. Jesus wasn't a philosopher
       who came to Earth to teach us how to live, He was God in the flesh. A person can't
       disbelieve this and be a Christian.

Satire is one thing.

Ron Paul, being a Texan, has hopefully have seen a few Westerns in his day. That being the
case, he could probably give you another name for what it is when one, anonymously,
"satirizes" someone else by name. It's called a sucker punch, and it makes John Wayne squint
his eyes and frown in a certain way.


Ron Paul could, hopefully, also tell you what it means to put your name behind something
and stand for it. How it takes courage, and a good deal of hard thinking before you do it.

Sure, internet comments are an easy place to take a pot shot at someone or something--after
all, you can swing away, risk free. Ever notice, though, how the heroes in the story tend to
walk right down main street?

If we focus on the topic at hand, I think we will all agree how important it is to be well
informed about who we elect as our next president.

Go to the event and decide for yourselves! Is Ron Paul the best GOP candidate? Is Ron Paul
better than Barrack Obama?

I second Back to the Bible's statement about the tone of these comments. As Christians, we are
called to love and accept one another. As a member of College Republicans, I am clearly not
in support of Obama or the Democratic platform as a rule. I however find that slinging mud
and making rude and vulgar comments is not going to get us anywhere. Both Democrats and
Republicans alike have flaws and good attributes as well. Instead of tearing one antoher
down because they are different than us, how about we learn to listen to one another and
accept others.

      You young folks are all delusional if you think any of the comments that I have read
      here are "bad" or "disrespectful". It's called discourse. Break your conditioning please
      and discover the truth: Both the Right and the Left are in the pockets of the Corporate
      interest - particularly the Banksters and the Federal Reserve System established in
      1913. Once you educate yourself, you will understand the Dr. Ron Paul - a Christian
      AND a doctor who delivered more than 4,000 babies - is the ONLY candidate who is
      NOT bought and paid for by the Globalists who have and will continue to GUT this
      country and YOUR FUTURE. Please pray for enlightenment, because many of you are
living in the darkness of a false and very broken paradigm. Go see him speak
           tomorrow night and you will begin to understand what personal Liberty means.

I'm with Will on this. This forum is hardly the place to voice an opinion. Do it in front of
somebody that can respond and you can be held accountable for what you say. The loudest or
most violent voice ends up drowning out the rest anyway.

The way I see it is some troll got fed and now this wall of text has become excruciatingly
painful to read through; all the democrats playing the minority victim card yelling "hey!
recognize me as a christian!" and the republicans bullying "hey something something
offensive and insensitive!"

That is all for this troll. Hopefully something I write will save you time and preserve your
wisdom.

I think you're all crazy! I'm not going to say if I'm a republican or democrat, partly cause I
hate the partisan nature of politics in America today, and partly because I would get ripped
apart by one side or the other (for being a hypocritical bigot or insensitive bastard, or
ignorant idealist or uninformed opinionated idiot) before even having the ability to present
some of my deeper thoughts and beliefs. I think it's awesome that we have the opportunity to
host a strong candidate from either party here at Bethel, and that it is a great opportunity to
open up political discourse and hear first-hand from a very unique candidate in an
interesting election year. Quit the hating on one side or the other or extrapolating about the
moral majority/conservative evangelical coalition or any other garbage like that, and try to
have some civilized discourse over the issues that we should care about as loving Christians
in a broken world. Congrats to DBake and the College Republicans for getting a high-profile
candidate to speak on campus. A cool opportunity. I regret a lot of the comments on here, but
think that former alums/concerned outsiders need to realize that these views do not reflect
the views/thoughts of the vast majority of kids on campus here (I would venture a guess that
most of those posters don't go to Bethel). Show up to chapel sometime or Quest Forums or
TCO or team sporting events or any other Bethel event and you can get a better outlook on
how we are operating as a Christian university compared with viewing an online forum open
to any anonymous poster.

I started the College Dems at Bethel in 2004. When asked if we could host a political leader
on campus, the answer was a firm "no" because Bethel doesn't mix politics with
religion...what a joke.

i don't understand the argument between democrats and republicans. Ron Paul isn't a
republican He is a libertarian. he is just in the republican party trying to change it for the
better and beat Obama cause no one else can get support of democrats and republicans

As a 2008 graduate of Bethel University, I have never been prouder of my alma mater. I was a
member of a collwge republicans at bethel and can tell they've come a long way since I was a
student at Bethel. When i was there, the leader of college republicans didn't want anything to
do with Ron Paul so I started my own Ron Paul Group on face book in 2008. Since Ron Paul
is really the only true Christian just-war/anti-war candidate in the race, I think a stop like
this on the campaign trail makes perfect sense.

Ron Paul is the only one with any level of Christian integrity in the race. It' really ironic too,
because unlike candidates like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum and Rick Perry, he doesn't
wear his Chrisitianity on his sleeve and leverage it for political gain. He probably won't even
talk about religion tonight. If I wasn't in the out of state I would certainly have been in
attendance tonight.

      an intelligent and respectful manner. It saddens me that participants in this forum choose the

      Congratulations to the people of this college for going to the work of setting up this rally. I
      think it is great that young people are getting involved in politics so that their views can be
      heard by the leaders of this country. I feel that this country is headed down the wrong path
      right now and that Ron Paul has a lot of ideas that need to be heard and I applaud him for
      taking the time to involve young people all over this country. I just hope that the situation
      does not erode to the point where it is irreversable before we can get it corrected. Anyway it
      was good to see so many people at the event.

  • 1. Ron Paul Visiting Bethel February 01, 2012 | 2:41 p.m. Congressman Ron Paul. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas will speak at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, in Benson Great Hall. The event, sponsored by Bethel’s College Republicans, is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 5 p.m. Andrew Baker, president of the College Republicans, said that the group contacted all GOP presidential candidates in November to request a visit, and Ron Paul’s campaign was the only one to accept the invitation. “Having one of the four remaining GOP candidates speak on campus will provide the Bethel community with a great opportunity to hear relevant political discourse,” says Baker. “His speech should inform Bethel students on important current issues that our country is facing. Students can then form their own stances, deciding whether or not they agree with his viewpoints.” The Bethel College Republicans have 313 members. The group’s goal is to provide Bethel students with the opportunity to hear great conservative speakers and volunteer for Republican causes and events. Like 207 people like this.

We are a community of Christ Followers, as is defined by the institution's core values. As such, we are part of one body, brothers and sisters in Christ. Can we put aside party lines and live in Christ's reconciling work? As Ephesians 2: 14-16 tells us: "For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and
  • 6. regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility." 02/02/2012 02:08 PM 17 Likes A Liked Reply VeteranPaulSupporter (http://disqus.com/guest/eb838e74104a6730b5fd23dcc65a689e/) How many seats are available?

People in both of those groups are Christ-followers, are present at Bethel, and are worthy of this common respect. We may disagree on the ideas and policies and let's have a healthy dialogue about those. What we shouldn't do is use this comment forum as a way to insult people personally or to make them a caricature by distorting their humanity or their motives. As Baker mentions in the article, we have an opportunity to directly engage the current political dialogue of a possible presidential candidate within Bethel's walls. Let's make the most of that opportunity by honoring each other in respectful dialogue over the issues and what they mean to us as members of a political party, members of the body of Christians, and as members of humanity. 02/02/2012 02:31 PM 19 Likes A Liked Reply Dupuismn (http://disqus.com/guest/ad5780522ac89113208503053aee17de/) RP12! 02/02/2012 03:01 PM 5 Likes Like Reply guest (http://disqus.com/guest/9ff33e6de3e40297c82226627a23b6dd/) Awesome!

Ron Paul, being a Texan, has hopefully have seen a few Westerns in his day. That being the case, he could probably give you another name for what it is when one, anonymously, "satirizes" someone else by name. It's called a sucker punch, and it makes John Wayne squint his eyes and frown in a certain way. Ron Paul could, hopefully, also tell you what it means to put your name behind something and stand for it. How it takes courage, and a good deal of hard thinking before you do it. Sure, internet comments are an easy place to take a pot shot at someone or something--after all, you can swing away, risk free.

  • 11. I second Back to the Bible's statement about the tone of these comments. As Christians, we are called to love and accept one another. As a member of College Republicans, I am clearly not in support of Obama or the Democratic platform as a rule. I however find that slinging mud and making rude and vulgar comments is not going to get us anywhere. Both Democrats and Republicans alike have flaws and good attributes as well. Instead of tearing one antoher down because they are different than us, how about we learn to listen to one another and accept others. 02/03/2012 01:59 PM 7 Likes A Liked Reply Thankyou (http://disqus.com/guest/d764e9021086b58ec0959c4933ef793e/) Thank you, and well said.

That is all for this troll. Hopefully something I write will save you time and preserve your wisdom. 02/03/2012 05:37 PM A Liked Reply Moderator (http://disqus.com/guest/0db4d703e8a74e5d11a2aed183e3d196/) Trolls sometimes have to exist to expose the ugly truth behind some people. 02/04/2012 01:39 PM in reply to They See Me Trolling Like Reply Justin (http://disqus.com/guest/74d758699bc9ca3cb79ecedf6039044e/) Hi, I'm a current student at Bethel University.

I'm not going to say if I'm a republican or democrat, partly cause I hate the partisan nature of politics in America today, and partly because I would get ripped apart by one side or the other (for being a hypocritical bigot or insensitive bastard, or ignorant idealist or uninformed opinionated idiot) before even having the ability to present some of my deeper thoughts and beliefs. I think it's awesome that we have the opportunity to host a strong candidate from either party here at Bethel, and that it is a great opportunity to open up political discourse and hear first-hand from a very unique candidate in an interesting election year. Quit the hating on one side or the other or extrapolating about the moral majority/conservative evangelical coalition or any other garbage like that, and try to have some civilized discourse over the issues that we should care about as loving Christians in a broken world. Congrats to DBake and the College Republicans for getting a high-profile candidate to speak on campus. A cool opportunity. I regret a lot of the comments on here, but think that former alums/concerned outsiders need to realize that these views do not reflect the views/thoughts of the vast majority of kids on campus here (I would venture a guess that most of those posters don't go to Bethel). Show up to chapel sometime or Quest Forums or TCO or team sporting events or any other Bethel event and you can get a better outlook on how we are operating as a Christian university compared with viewing an online forum open to any anonymous poster. 02/04/2012 02:51 PM 1 Like Like Reply Founder of BU Dems (http://disqus.com/guest/a85e66103cefc238a596e724dcf653b8/) I started the College Dems at Bethel in 2004. When asked if we could host a political leader on campus, the answer was a firm "no" because Bethel doesn't mix politics with religion...what a joke. 02/04/2012 02:52 PM 2 Likes Like Reply RonPaul2012 (http://disqus.com/guest/eb419415f0d9973c594e9f92d7e5bc0e/) Good thing they wise'd up and realized it's great for the university Yesterday 12:50 AM in reply to Founder of BU Dems Like Reply Ran Santos for President (http://disqus.com/guest/a3aae185b53964391ba1e38abbc4db5a/) I have a cat.

  • 15. do with Ron Paul so I started my own Ron Paul Group on face book in 2008. Since Ron Paul is really the only true Christian just-war/anti-war candidate in the race, I think a stop like this on the campaign trail makes perfect sense. Ron Paul is the only one with any level of Christian integrity in the race. It' really ironic too, because unlike candidates like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum and Rick Perry, he doesn't wear his Chrisitianity on his sleeve and leverage it for political gain. He probably won't even talk about religion tonight. If I wasn't in the out of state I would certainly have been in attendance tonight. 02/04/2012 06:41 PM Like Reply College Democrat (http://disqus.com/guest/ff54bb6065bb32f3e9aeaab32e5a538a/) Kudos Yesterday 01:30 AM in reply to Philip Olson Like Reply guest (http://disqus.com/guest/aeff0fc32c787743125c8497a29fd0e0/) Will audio from this talk be available for those that weren't able to get to the event? 02/04/2012 08:37 PM 1 Like Like Reply Drunk (http://disqus.com/guest/1d109e1a59b27f9fa2ec6a4214bbd296/) I like turtles 02/04/2012 09:06 PM Like Reply Stone-cold-sober (http://disqus.com/guest/2fc3d3c11eeafc6c22192015fc57ef4e/) "Drunk", you should be ashamed of yourself...how dare you post such a ridiculous comment in the middle of serious, mature conversation amongst people who are brave enough to post their opinions anonymously!

I think it is great that young people are getting involved in politics so that their views can be heard by the leaders of this country. I feel that this country is headed down the wrong path right now and that Ron Paul has a lot of ideas that need to be heard and I applaud him for taking the time to involve young people all over this country. I just hope that the situation does not erode to the point where it is irreversable before we can get it corrected. Anyway it was good to see so many people at the event.
