    That was the first time I’d ever heard of Ron Paul.

    I was visiting my brother and his family. His mother-in-law was watching TV. Ol Ron Paul was on some news show or another talking about how the economy was about to crash.

    My brother’s mother-in-law was a very unpleasant person and was loudly disagreeing with the TV. It made Ron Paul seem like a pretty reasonable guy.

    Kind of a shame about his Nazi bar antics.

    His son can’t even claim the plausible deniability of having a movement overtaken by Nazis.
