Is it just a coincidence, or did he actually name his son after the author of Atlas Shrugged?

So how far did the apple fall from the crazy tree?

You all know I’m no Obama fan but Ron Paul isn’t the answer either, and if is son is like him, neither is Rand.

The shortest answer is he honestly believes the gold standard could work in the present-day economy.

Well, maybe crazy to think that Congress would ever get something done on time, but certainly not a hack. Ron Paul wants practically no government except to stop people from getting abortions. :bloated: The only views he has that make any sense are drug policy and isolationism.

He wants a return to the constitution, that’s all. His foreign policy is one of non-interventionism, not isolationism. There is a difference. Not a big deal, but I figured I would point it out.

P.S when are we ever going to get beers and solve the worlds problems?

he never ever said that the federal government should stop people from getting abortions. Get your facts straight, he is opposed to them because they deny the right to life, but he has said many times that as the president he would never make the decision to regulate abortions. He would leave the decision up to the states where it belongs.
