Ahhh, that Ron Paul joker again. He is indeed the Man of the Year.

Unfortunately that year is 1901.


Given Dr. Paul's highly questionable foreign policy notions, I would have said "1801," considering it's clear that he's about the only living American (other than his supporters) who has not yet learned the crystal-clear lessons of the Barbary Wars.

Don't forget the undeclared quasi-war with France which had just ended, and had led to the construction of our Navy and restablishment of the Marine Corps, our prime weapons against the Islamists. Some things never change
