That "What If" speech (Video linked) was good and seminal but NOT my favorite...
I will share my favorite on his 90th birthday (20 August)
Keep an eye out
You are going to get ran out of here... Don’t you know everyone is supposed to absolutely hate Ron Paul with a passion or you are not part of the group think...
By the Ron Paul Institute….

Personally I don’t have much opinion one way or the other about RP (either of them). But it could be said that Kermit the Frog changed the world and it would be just as true.
Sorry if this RP love fest post is the wrong place to make this comment.

Will do and THANKS!!!
What we see, is Ron Paul was completely wrong about the Middle East. They do not hate us because we “meddled”.
They hate us because we are not Muslims!
While not exactly the “Middle East”, the Barbary Coast states we went to war with in the early 1800’s did not sieze American ships and enslave their crews because we “meddled”. They siezed them because they believed it was their religious right and duty to sieze them and enslave the crews.
They only stopped siezing them when we went to war with them and/or paid tribute. It is from these wars the Marine Corps hymn line of “the shores of Tripoli” comes from.
It was only when European nations grew strong enough to stop the piracy and slavery of the Islamic states that they stopped.
The evil acts of the Muslims have always been stopped by force, not by being nice.
Libertarian purists disbelieve reality and think they can impose purist Libertarian ideas on societies like ours that are imposed on by weighty foreign sources that are not and will never ever be Libertarian. We are supposed to open ourselves up to the dictatorships and their economic influences, helping their economic models while living a Libertarian fantasy. The Libertarian purists are not realists.
My favorite Ron Paul moment was when he was the lone dissenting vote in Congress, voting AGAINST giving Charles Schultz (creator of the Peanuts cartoon) a Congressional Medal of Honor.
His logic ? The medals cost $25k each and we’re broke! People love Mr. Schultz for his creative gifts…. No medal is needed to increase his popularity.
“Dr. No”, my congressional rep, was serious about reducing spending.
If you look closely at Ron Paul you see his pro-immigration goals, and opposition to the wall.
Make him head of the Fed.
