Read the little tracts "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" and "None Dare Call it Treason" for a quick overview of who they are. I read the latter at about 11 years old (some clown gave the book to my dad and it was a rainy Saturday). I dubbed it "None dare call it Reason." Full of innuendo, winks, nods and not so subtle hints about the communist conspiracy (it is EVERYWHERE!).

It is like reading a Donald Wildmon publication, or a really stemwinding article by Joseph Farah.

Short on substance, but sure to stir up the heavy breathers.

Much truth in your tagline.

Some great Ron Paul tidbits from the Washington Post. I think I detect just a bit of grudging admiration here:

Last year, Congress decided to send billions of dollars to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Guess how Ron Paul voted.

"Is bailing out people that chose to live on the coastline a proper function of the federal government?" he asks. "Why do people in Arizona have to be robbed in order to support the people on the coast?"

There have been periods in history when the maverick congressman was not such a rare breed, but this is not one of those periods. Democrats and Republicans have been quite disciplined in recent years -- when party leaders say "jump," the savvy congressman had better inquire how high.

This makes the presence of a politician like Ron Paul something of a refreshing peculiarity. He continually bucks the wishes of Republican leaders -- so much so, Paul recalls, that once while exhorting every other Republican to vote the party line, then-Speaker Newt Gingrich announced that Ron Paul was exempt.

Paul is not always alone in his dissent, but more than anyone else in Congress, he is legendary for it. "When I'm the only no vote," says fiscal conservative Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), "I can usually rest assured he's on a plane somewhere."
