An Honest Politician

There is one man in Washington, D.C. that tells the truth. He is Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Yesterday he made a speech before the House of Representatvies, during the debate on the Iraq War Resolution. You owe it to yourself to take time right now to read that speech . After you do, ask yourself, "What part of Congressman Paul's speech do I disagree with and why?"

I agree with him completely. You may not, but it is time that we all ask ourselves, Why? Why do we believe what we believe? Is it because of what we were taught in school? Is it because of what our parents taught us? Or is it because of listening to CNN and Fox News, et.al.? The time for rote is over. We all need to begin to question what is going on around us. We need to look for real causes and real answers and not just babble back sound bite answers like a bunch of trained parrots.
