One Honest Man

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

Once again, Ron Paul frames our situation. Many people take issue with the hands off solution, claiming that many people will be hurt. As Congressman Paul notes, however, failure to properly cope with the problem now leads to more pain, perhaps even fatality, down the road.

Due to ignorance, politically driven greed, or perhaps reflexive response to threat, we're placing a gigantic bet with our childrens' future on what reasoned analysis suggests is a long shot bail out attempt.

Mr Paul continues to be the only elected official in Washington who can clearly articulate this position and back it with action. While numerically not much, he provides a beacon of hope for liberty.
