Mmmm, more Ron Paul propaganda. You posted it in the right place, because it's annoying, not funny.
Can't decide on whom of the non Ron Paul candidates I dislike the least. Mitt Romney only seems to be bad, while the others are terrible. Stealthblue which of those candidates do you prefer?
These things started out kind of funny. But now, I'm getting a little depressed watching them. I love America, but this kind of thing makes me even bring up the question of would I still love her...

Since 2003 they have been an unpopular faction. Not supporting the invasion of a country that took 2 weeks to bring to it's knees and almost 9 years to reconstruct wasn't very popular here. We also hate chinese.

That was a response to the "since 2003"
The actual interview is just scary... These people don't even know what the french revolution was about/against but by a few words of this "preacher" they now think it was something bad.
I don't understand, is he saying the French Revolution was a bad thing?
That's exactly what he's saying.
Does he think Monarchy is better?
You may a little generous there. The more I hear from him the more I realise, he should stop trying to think.
He doesn't need to think. He divines answers to most questions through prayer.
That said, it seems that a combined hereditary rule of the wealthy elite and religion appeals to him a lot, no wonder the French Revolution bothers him so much.
I don't understand, is he saying the French Revolution was a bad thing?
Not exactly; my guess is he's trying to hint at the Reign of Terror ("La Terreur") that developed in Revolutionary France in 1793-1794. Basically, the revolutionary comittee started to get really paranoid and executed quite a lot of so-called enemies of the revolution (and therefore of the government) under Robespierre. The latter also tried to abolish religion and replace it with the Cult of Reason. The idea didn't really catch on and he died the same way as he had done to others -- by the guillotine.
Whether the comparison is warranted or not is another matter. However, there is far more to the French Revolution than the Declaration of Human Rights -- many horrible things happened along the way.
Santorum reminds me of the preacher aspect of Huckabee, without the tone of respect and kindness in his voice. He seems like a "fire and brimstone" preacher more than a politician.
