Ron Paul

Just finished listening to Ron Paul's Revolution: A Manifesto. This is an absolute must read in my opinion... Just about every power hungry and vain presidential candidate comes up with a campaign book with a doctored photo of himself on the cover, and probably written by various editors and yes-men at that.
This book though, is not like that. Ron Paul is a giant of an intellectual. Even if some Christians disagree with him on this or that, you still have to deal with the massive of amount of wise and sound knowledge he has to offer. I've said this before, but I truly did not even think such a man as himself existed in Washington. I am so gratefully wrong about this. Consider his sound thinking esp. in foreign policy, medical care, economics, and personal liberty compared with the swiftly moving socialistic country we are becoming. He truly is so much further down the road of Christian maturity as it pertains to the issues of the day than most Christians are.
I do believe that many Christians (including myself) have been slowly roasting in the pot like frogs who can't detect the coming boiling water.
All of his stuff is pure meaty content, no fluff, no conspiracy, just wise and well-informed common sense.

He says that we are about 9 trillion dollars in debt right now as a nation. And we wonder why so many Americans are in debt. In fact, it is the extreme rarity that an American household is not in debt.
