OTOH, his trademark fashion design was kinda cool for its time.
Izdaari,
Ian Paisley was a Bible believing preacher who stood for righteousness and for the word of God. He fought hard against the Romish whore and Papacy. And one thing I really liked about him is that he preached against the ever growing apostasy in his day and time. We need more preachers like him.
Must also say though that brother Paisley was quite a unique and rare individual in that while he was a high ranking politician, he still did not allow politics to swerve him away from serving God. And for standing for the truth. And one of the pivotal points in his life as both a Christian man and a Politician of Northern Ireland was when he publicly denounced the Pope as antichrist at the European Parliament in 1988. And here is a brief clip to this event:

Brother Paisley was bold and courageous indeed.
Could you imagine a politician in America today doing that?? I know I couldn't because most if not nearly all the politicians in America are spineless when it comes to taking a bold stand against the Pope. And it is no wonder, since they are already in bed with Rome as it is.
