I remember this convocation. I just sat there. He made no sense! Ooooh Ron Paul. Stop being Anti-Israel. I love how he paused for the "I committed to Christ as my savior." I'm glad you say you believe that Christ is your savior. But so do I, don't pause for me to clap for you. And for the people who laugh at the name Liberty. We find freedom from sin in Christ. Hence freedom-liberty. Get it?

1) go on campaignforliberty. com, maybe then you'll understand the concept of liberty that he stands for.

2) he's not anti-Israel. he's against intervening in the affairs of any other nation.

3) Arab nations currently receive much more foreign aid from the US than Israel does... how does this benefit Israel?

4) He wasn't the one clapping. You didn't have to either. People did because he's an elected leader and was running for president. You're not, thus why you didn't get applause.

5) Although I have heard jokes about the many rules at your university, I don't think that's what the above comment was referring to. Rather, the name is appropriate because Ron Paul stands for Liberty, which happens to be the name of your university.

I can't listen to him anymore!! Brings tears to my eyes realizing that America is tightening the rope on its neck by not voting for this man. USA is self-destructing itself, just as forefathers foresaw. :(

What an appropriate name. "Liberty University."

@girlnextdoor0510 If anything deserves applause it is a confession of faith in Christ Jesus.

So cool! I happen to be student here, but had no idea that he visited 3 years ago, and got so much support.

@MrSillywhore To clarify I agree with Ron that this should be a state issue but for different reasons as I do not believe that life begins at conception only the process that creates life. I do believe that we need to legally define when life begins if we expect federal govt to defend this right though. I am a huge ron fan and recognize that my understanding of his logic may be flawed so if I am wrong please tell me how and refer me to where I can verify, thank you.

[MrSillywhore]

First let me say I will be voting for ron paul, but on abortion we are in disagreement. The abortion debate is not what I am seeking though more of a clarification of rons logic on this issue. If life begins at conception and one of the limited roles of federal govt. is to defend our rights, then why would he delegate this power to the states? Fedral govnt cant pick and choose when to ignore its role in defending rights this check was put in place to make sure mob rule didn't occur.

He has appointed himself as a policeman of morality of Americans in addition of presiding himself as the authority on how to interpret the US Constitution.
