Amen.
Honoring one of the most inspiring and principled political careers
in contemporary American politics, culminating in an extraordinary
“farewell address” upon his recent announced retirement from the House
of Representatives, WND has named U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, as its
“Man of the Decade.”
Paul’s interest in politics developed in 1971, while he was still working as an OBGYN during the Nixon administration, when the United States went off the gold standard.
“It was overall the whole thing about free market economics, individual liberties and the foreign policy … it was my deep conviction that we were [going] in the wrong direction,” he told WND.
Paul’s rise into politics after these revelations was almost an accident.
“I started speaking out just as a candidate, without any expectation of going to Congress. And then I was surprised, the time must have been right, we got attention, and I did wind up in Congress,” he said.
