Happy Birthday to Ron Paul. He turns 85 years today, August 20.
Ron Paul has done more for the cause of liberty than any person in modern times. Perhaps he has done more for liberty than anyone in all of history.
We would be in a lot worse shape today if it weren’t for Ron Paul. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. alone who are hardcore libertarians because they found Ron Paul. Most of those came from his two presidential runs as a Republican.
There are many great things about Ron Paul. He is a family man and a good man. Maybe he isn’t the best or most charismatic speaker when compared to other public figures, but this is part of what makes him genuine and believable. He has remained principled and continues to deliver his message for liberty.
Ron could have easily retired a long time ago and spent his days relaxing. But that is not Ron. He has a personal devotion to the cause of liberty, and it brings him joy in spreading his message to others.
He has particularly been a voice of sanity in 2020 with all that has happened. Despite his age and his son having a partially removed lung and testing positive for coronavirus, Ron has warned us from the beginning not to fall for the media hype and propaganda regarding the virus. Ron says that kids need to go outside and play football. I wish more people had listened to this doctor’s advice from the beginning.
Thank you, Ron Paul, for everything you have done and continue to do.
