This father-son duo (Dr.s Ron Paul and Rand Paul) are exemplary LEADers.

... it should be clear that racism is a problem that begins with a denial of individualism. A racist believes that some group trait always trumps all individual traits. This is the first error, and it stems from a desire to simplify the reality of group heterogeneity (people really are different) for the sake of convenience or quick thinking.

Can one imagine what it would be like 30 years ago, for national security reasons the US government took responsibility for guaranteeing that every man, woman, and child had a cellphone, called it a right, and justified it for national defense purposes? It would have been a nightmare. Quality would have never improved, prices would be sky-high, and distribution lousy.
But we now have affordable cell phones, and the prices will continue to drop...
At the time, Ali's resistance to war and the military draft was seen by a majority of Americans to be "unpatriotic." But they did not understand that patriotism is the act of standing up to the government when the government is wrong, and at great risk stand firmly on principles that protect the freedoms of all people. Those who resist the state nonviolently, based on their own principles, deserve our support.

"People often say that what this country needs is for people in Washington to stop fighting and just get the job done. To achieve that, we need more Bipartisanship. I don't agree. If two parties with two sets of bad ideas cooperate, the result is not good policy, but policy that is extremely bad. What we really need are correct political and economic ideas, regardless of the party that pushes them."
I like how Dr. Paul speaks so nobly about such controversial issues. He really lays it all out to get the reader thinking about morals.
Next audiobook on my digital bookshelf. :)
Ron Paul is one of my biggest heroes.

Have not read Liberty Defined, but want to.
pickA quick #Recommendsday pick: Ron Paul's LIBERTY DEFINED reads like a manifesto for libertarianism. He addresses 50 different issues affecting America today, offering solutions from a libertarian point of view. I was surprised at how much I was a libertarian at heart without knowing it and wearing the label. This is a great place to start if you're interested in learning about libertarianism. Never a dull chapter 👍👍👍👍👍
