I learned about Bastiat, Hayek, Mises, Rothbard, and Ron Paul from my Dad. In one ear and out the other my teen years, but he persisted. Sent the Ron Paul newsletters and the Rothbard-Rockwell Report to my *cough* frat house via snail mail halfway across the country.
I didn't care and then I did--a lot. 2nd most important thing he taught me.
Very grateful. Passing it on.
My husband was a delegate for Ron Paul and I was an alternate at the RNC convention for Ron Paul (2012?). It was eye opening. Ron Paul is amazing. The RNC, is corrupt to the extreme.
Lead the way. We're the OG's apparently. I wasn't a delegate but I was definitely front row and as vocal for Ron Paul as these crazy kids are for Bitcoin.
It's a new generation and they're accomplishing great things, but man... Standing on the shoulders of intellectual giants. That man stood on stage and spoke about the dangers of the military industrial complex, the CIA and the propaganda machine that we call news WAYYYY before it was cool.
We owe him a lot.
He has been so right, for so long. I read many of his published speeches from the floor (A Foreign Policy of Freedom), and was continually blown away. "WHAT year was he saying this!?"
