"Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul was not the perfect antiwar candidate sent down from above, but you would be forgiven for thinking so if you compare the 2008 and 2012 presidential races to the 2016 one.

Ron Paul was not without fault (early immigration fearmongering, the vote for the Afghanistan Authorization for Use of Military Force) but he was the rare politician who got better and more interested in peace and freedom the longer he stayed in office. The 2012 election was basically a victory lap for him, but one that involved the vital message of peace and nonintervention. There’s a reason that he’s so beloved, and that YouTube videos with titles that call Paul a seer for predicting more terrorist attacks on the US back in 1998 are amusingly common.

The Ascendance of Sociopaths in U.S. Governance

"In this article, I’m going to argue that the U.S. government, in particular, has been overrun by the wrong kind of person. It’s a trend that’s been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it’s institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the U.S. is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate."

What Would You Do on Election Day, if these are the choices: Hillary (D), Ted (R) and Donald (Third Party)?

Looking at several news reports today, it seems like the MSM has made our final choices for us for this presidential election. the general consensus is it will be Hillary for the Dems and Cruz or Trump for the GOP (either they haven't decided yet or they haven't revealed which of them yet).  Yes, I know TPTB haven't ruled out Jeb! and many here still think Rand will pull it off but, for the purposes of this poll, let's say it's Hillary (D), Ted (R) and Donald (Third Party).  It's an awful field, as usual, but what would you do on election day if that's what actually plays out?

GOP Debates Are Pure Hawk Without a Paul

missing rand paul.jpg" The Rand Paul-shaped hole on stage on Thursday night left quite an impression"

Rand will be the Republican nominee!

The fact that Rand took to a national town-hall last night via Periscope/Twitter, therefore turning what easily could have become a detriment into an entrepreneurial endeavor, shows a temper restrained in order to direct it toward a positive end. Rand is the only class on/off that stage. He is a skeptic, inquirer and cautious. And shouldn't we all be a little more that way? I'll be damned if I ever vote for 'the' mindless war candidate. My son will not become the future collateral or asset to murder and the conjuring of hell that war solicits. Yesterday marks a critical day for liberty. Rand just made the mainstream media sensibly irrelevant to undermining his campaign. All he had to do was refuse to accept condescension and the lollipop with hair on it.

Reddit AMA Request

Browsing Reddit, I noticed that one of the top topics was an AMA Request for Rand Paul.  That being a pretty liberal site, I was surprised to actually read through the comments and see how positive they were about this idea.  Supposedly, there has also been a response already on Twitter that his team and he are considering it.

The link is below if you are interested.
