Politics of Freedom Update - February 9th thru February 15th




Ron Paul 2012 Podcast show

Summary: While exciting plans have been announced in recent weeks regarding Dr. Ron Paul's post-Congressional plans, news of purported 'scandals' that would taint his legacy have received much more coverage. The most recent of which is his personal suit against the good folks at RonPaul.com- who desire to be paid for the domain. Unfortunately for the former Congressman, these disputes are now arbitrated by a group affiliated with the UN (which is bad PR, to say the least). I've included a handful of conversations about this controversy, so you can make up your own mind. Meanwhile, Rand Paul has been among the most prominent Republican newsmakers in the past week, following his foreign policy speech at the Heritage Foundation. The Senator has been seeing through the passage of legislation in Kentucky for the legalization of industrial hemp, resubmitted legislation to privatize the TSA and audit the Fed, and threatened to filibuster the nominations of both John Brennan and Chuck Hagel. Of course, this week included the state-glorifying State of the Union address, so I've included some coverage of that as well. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below: <br> (0:00) Still trying to raise enough money to continue this podcast for the next several months.
