One thing I dig about Ron Paul is that he speaks TRUTH to power. He's like the kid who finally said the Emperor is buck naked.
Of course, I don't agree with him on everything but the way this man can go head to head with conventional wisdom is quite refreshing. Forget all the Fed stuff. Forget all the small government stuff. (Although those are the areas I agree with him the most) Where he really goes BALLS OUT is when he risks being called a loon or an idiot for going against sacred cows like
EVOLUTION and the idea of
Lincoln being the best US president ever. He has other issues where he goes balls out.
Like I said, I don't agree with him on everything but you have to give respect to a man who counters the accepted wisdom of his age with a calm demeanor, cold facts, and engaging analysis.
