Conservative Audience Boos ‘The Golden Rule’ During GOP Debate In South Carolina (VIDEO

WakeUpPeople
As if the Republican Party hadn’t already damaged itself enough since August, the audience of yet another GOP Debate has booed something that seriously questions their claims of being true Christians.

During the Fox News/Twitter Debate in South Carolina on Sunday, the conservative audience booed the Golden Rule which is a pillar of Christian law in the Bible. In Matthew 7:12, Christ says “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”

Well, when Ron Paul suggested that the United States practice the Golden Rule in foreign policy, the Republican audience booed him.

RON PAUL: “My point is that if another country does to us what we do to others, we are not going to like it very much. I would say that we maybe ought to consider the golden rule in foreign policy. Don’t do to other nations what we don’t want them to do to us. We endlessly bomb these countries, and then we wonder why they get upset with us?”

AUDIENCE: [Boos]

Here’s the video: (VIDEO)

Ron Paul made an excellent point with this statement and I agree with him. Americans have engaged in illegal wars, executions of innocent civilians, torture, and God knows what other atrocities and war crimes. How can we expect other nations to respect us when we do horrible things to countries we wage war in? The Bush Administration tortured the enemy which went against our own laws. That gives other nations an opening to do to us what we do to them. That makes sense.

The Republican debate audience has been an incredible measure of what the GOP believes. They have booed a gay soldier, cheered for executions, cheered for letting a sick uninsured man die, and cheered child labor. And now they have booed basic Christian law laid down by Christ himself. The Republican Party should be ashamed to call themselves Christians.

    • We don't want Jesus to be President. He's wayyyyy too liberal! All that forgiveness, pacifist, minimalist shit. JESUS HATES JOB CREATORS! Jesus doesn't own a gun! I heard he married a prostitute in that one book!!! ...The Bible by Dan Brown.

      Jesus could never get elected by Republicans.

    • American are bloodthirsty war hungry heathens...generally speaking. There are very few exceptions of people who do not delight in blood and gore as a national past time.

    • Republicans/teabaggers/rednecks/uneducated/hate monger type individuals seem to be a predominant image being displayed at these debates. I sure hope these people do not represent the majority in this country for if it does, we are in deeper shit then I originally thought.

      The kind of shit that is: knee jerk, trained, ingrained response instead of really listening, weighing facts, logic, ethically ramifications before responding. The powers that be in the GOP are the ones who allowed for media consolidation in the 80s, the ones who own media companies, the ones who have been using the Goebbles method to train the masses ever since.

      And it would not surprise me in the least to read solid evidence that they had found a virus to carry cognitive dissonance around the population like the common cold. It sure seems 'teh stupid' is a contagion that has spread throughout the masses. So far gone that many people don't even grasp the very concept of logic when you present them with facts to disprove their contentions and they just shrug and cling to them, insisting you are delusional.

    • Isn't there some sort of Republican cultural adage about " being not the first one without sense to beat your wife with a thumb sized stick in a glass house . . ." ( something like that. ) Weird ass culture if you ask me though.

    • The level of ignorance in a lot of people is just overwhelming sometimes.
      I am not sure I would vote for Ron Paul, but so far he is the only one making at least some semblance of sense, for the repubs anyway.
