Listen and watch him every day. Met him, read most of his books, and was asked to be part of just one of the teams that does research for him.
Does he know everything? No. Does he know more then most who bash him? Yes.
He's a commentator yet He has researchers fact checking the first group of researchers. He has moved more away from politics and more towards principles, something I'm willing to bet most of the people here believe in (especially former milatary types)
Stand with Israel, guess we know who the PaulBots are. Give me a break, how about standing with anyone who share the same principles as we as a nation do. He accepts any religion or lack of as long as your have character and principles. Yes he is a religious man, does he shove that down your throat? No.
He brought 35000 people to Texas to volunteer to work in 100 degree weather doing service for their fellow man. 30,000 came from all over the nation and filled Cowboy stadium to listen to him speak and be inspired.
Is he a salesman, yep. Is he a capitialist, yep. He employes over 200 people directly and hundreds more indirectly. Unless this board has turned into occupy I think these are things we all support?
His show is filled with the fact, figures, audio & video that no one else will show. He has more people paying subscribers to his network then most of the main stream media networks has viewers.
This is the last place I thought I would find people who dislike him. Go figure.
