General Disclaimer: I know that politics are not always tons of fun to discuss, but I thought that I'd post this for anyone who is interested in learning more about Ron Paul. I've never been hugely into politics but, as I'll explain below, I've recently become very involved in learning more about the current political environment.
A couple of months ago, a friend of mine started sharing some articles and videos with me on Facebook about Ron Paul. For those of you who don't know, he is one of the GOP front-runners for the 2012 presidential election. I had heard about him, since he has run previously both in 1988 and 2008, but my knowledge on his various stances and who he is was limited. In short, after doing some research of my own, I became increasingly intrigued with him -everything from his consistency to his experience to his policies.
I was amazed at how little I had known of him before I began actively seeking out this information, and I realized that this was largely due to the limited airtime that is afforded to him by major media. I thought that I'd link a few things to this post that I were at least beneficial to me in understanding who Ron Paul is, as well as why he is not given as much attention as he most likely deserves.
A good overall view of his policies: Ron Paul: The Only One We Can Trust
An interesting (and artistic interpretation) of a though-provoking speech on his foreign policy: Armed Chinese Troops in Texas
A humorous (but eye-opening) look at the media's treatment of him: Jon Stewart on Dr. Ron Paul
Here's a site with practically every one of his speeches/interviews: Ron Paul Flix
And finally, here's his campaign page that shows his stances on all major policies: Ron Paul 2012
