Dr. Ron Paul: A Snake in the Grass

I’ve been pretty hard on Dr. Paul recently, and today will be no different. Before people erroneously label me as a “hater,” it should be known that I am actually a former Ron Paul supporter, and then a friend of mine pointed me to some of his writings. Then, upon looking further into [...]
