Liberty Defined

Today I finished up the audiobook version of Ron Paul's newest book: 
With the 2012 elections around the corner, 
and having previously read the Revolution: a Manifesto, & End the Fed,
I was truly a fan & psyched to hear the Congressman & Presidential hopeful was releasing another book.

This one rang in around 8 hours covering 50 various topics (in alphabetical order) 
to give the reader (or in my case listener) excellent insight into the willful patriots views & mindset.
Things like this should be mandatory for all candidates, 
so voters can familiarize themselves with their elected representatives,
though unlike the other "poll-iticians", Ron Paul truly believes in what he says,
this is evidenced by his Congressional voting track record.
As expected the man is just too good to be true, & its hard to disagree with him on much.
A great read for anyone trying to get a better idea of where he stands on issues which truly matter,
or  fans of the Libertarian looking to brush up on his viewpoints.
For the novice who agrees with many of his stances, the book presents great cannon fodder,
or talking points for one to exchange at the water bubbler with other patriots or the misinformed alike.
