Ron Paul 2012 Podcast

In his latest Texas Straight Talk column, Dr. Ron Paul notes the waivers granted to politically connected celebrities (Jay-Z and Beyonce) in order that they travel to Cuba. After 50 years, can't the rest of us go if we so please? We should never be surprised that insiders of all kinds will be given exemptions from official government policy. Power corrupts!

Rand Paul dominated political talk this week, as he took the message of individual liberty to historically black schools- Howard and Simmons. The left was particularly peeved (and publicly nasty) by the Senator's attempt to reach out to an unconventional libertarian constituency. The MSNBC pundits were particularly outraged by the Senator's divergence from the liberal's ordained version of historical events. Democrats=Good, Republicans=Racist, No? I would be willing to bet that- if they took a momentary truth serum- the Democrat operatives resent the fact that hundreds of black students came out to hear from the Senator. It was a sign that African-American loyalty to the Democrats may not be as impenetrable as previously thought. Rand could have just come to the universities and laid out the non-partisan pitch for liberty in all spheres, as his father did back in February 2012 at the Little Rock Baptist Church in Detroit (too bad he didn't receive 1/100th of the media coverage that Rand received). But for better or for worse, Sen. Paul instead made a gesture on behalf of all Republicans. Listen closely to the progressive pundits in the following audio: they have no interest in improving race relations in this country. They thrive because of a political climate of fear, division, and intimidation. Only a culture of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and social tolerance will take race relations to the next level- but then why would we need a massive federal government?

It's clear that now that the Presidential campaign is long over, Dr. Ron Paul is not at all interested in having any unnecessary contact with the goons over at the TSA! The founder of the Young Americans for Liberty gave his keynote address for the California State Convention via video Skype this year! Nearly 250 young students and activists reportedly attended the conference- held at The Mackey Auditorium at Cal State - Fullerton to hear the former Congressman bring them up to speed on his newest projects: the Institute for Peace and Prosperity, the Homeschool Curriculum and more.  Dr. Paul then took some questions from the audience.

Duncan, Jr. spoke a bit about their shared experience in the House of Representatives, then the two took some questions about the state of the GOP, the mood of the electorate and the current state of readiness of the US armed forces.
