Reb Rich!!! Keep up your great work!! The Klal needs more devoted people like Rabbi Roberts.
All I remember is this Dr. Ron Paul trying to run for the House of Representaives from Houston. He did not win, but he eventually made it to Congress. Yes, Can’tucky is great state (‘still), but why did his son leave Texas?
I was a big supporter of Rand’s father, Ron Paul, especially in 2008. Rand seems to be closer to the Republican mainstream, which is perfectly understandable – he wants to actually get things done. Tactical compromises and gradualism are perfectly reasonable, as long as you don’t lose sight of the rational ideal. I’d like to believe that he’s still a libertarian on the inside, and that it will come to the surface when the time is right…
It sure would be nice if some of the Pauls’ love of individual liberty and free markets rubbed off on the bureaucrats here in Lakewood…
