Ron Paul has a Revolutionary philosophy, but it is only philosophy, if you interpret Ron Paul selectively or as realist, he is going to seem like a lunatic because his speeches and writings are very emphatic and philosophical - philosphy doesnt sit well with people who prefer not to address problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument, IE Strict Statisticians being the polar opposite. you must interrupt it from a philosophical standpoint as it is, treating it any other way is a misinterpretation of the actual message, this is why the media has such an easy to spin his words. Please listen to a few speeches of his in their entirety and try to keep this in mind. If your in to data and a realist approach to politics just start researching some things that Ron Paul talks about(or what hes voted on and his FULL explanations why), he is so open and honest it is very clear and he backs the people 100% of the time, it will all come together for you that Ron Paul is an effin genious and he will change the world even if he is not elected as president.
