Ron who named his kid after ayn rand Paul? It's been a long time since I heard anything he said, and since Nevuary since I heard him say anything that wasn't wholly selfish. Can you please share some things he said that made sense to you? I may check him out but I'm not promising anything. I've never heard of the others, but I hope they're not just more "I've got mine, fu," types.

I have not heard him say anything I can think of that was bad. And I would need you to give me an example of what he says that is selfish. "Dont go to war" sounds pretty unselfish. "Dont let the fed devalue the currency of the poor in favor of the rich", also doesnt sound selfish.

I may be misremembering. His son was most recently in the news and I haven't read anything about him in quite some time. I'll give it a listen. Thanks again so much.

Thats the problem with the corporate media, they will give you a false impression about people. It seems like everyone that I hear about being the worst ever were actually some of the people with our best interests in mind.
