Rand Paul skillfully addresses the issues of the day with the same right-joins-left/strange bedfellows worldview with which libertarians often tug at the heartstrings of their progressive counterparts.
Every time you're ready to trash this book for its reactionary thinking, he grabs and holds your attention with yet one more of those civil rights bugbears commonly detested at both ends of the spectrum.
Now, here are some examples of what's bad about the good senator:
He still naively believes in tax relief for the wealthy. Perhaps he really is the kind, Christian healer who somehow cannot fathom the minds of the Andrew Mellons of the world. But after 35 years of failed Reaganomics, causing a wealth disparity that has pushed us backward to the days of the Great Gatsby, he is comically convinced that the hoarders and inheritors of this country have a sense of noblesse oblige.
He is apparently one of the few Americans who knows of or remembers the first of two attacks on the US Embassy in Tehran in February of 1979, which he juxtaposes with Benghazi. However, the conclusion which he offers in both cases speaks for military response rather than the correct view of simply not being somewhere we most certainly don't belong, CIA covert mission or otherwise.
On the one hand he admits that the sole Middle East foreign policy of our most Christian nation is to destabilize secular governments. But then he devotes an entire chapter puzzling over why Christians are being persecuted in that region.
He champions the cause of ending the NSA's spying on Americans, but then renounces Snowden's actions as "dishonest," though acknowledging that without Snowden, we'd all be very much in the dark.
He's against the Affordable Care Act based on the fact that his medical missionary work in Guatemala proves that American doctors will provide pro bono treatment to the 16.4 million otherwise uninsured. 'Nuff on that one.
He correctly states that a flat tax would be the basis of a fair revenue system. But who in their right minds would want a system of taxation which does not UNFAIRLY tax the rich, except perhaps, the rich.
Sometimes there's nothing scarier than utter silence. Using Kindle's - Search This Book function, the terms "global warming," "climate change," "gun control" and "gun rights" quite conspicuously produce zero results.
OK, all the above being said, here's what's good about the good senator:
He wants to end gerrymandering for the voting fraud that it is.
He wants to end the duplicity of congressional exemptions.
He wants to end corporate welfare which guarantees government contracts to the least deserving.
He wants to end the underhanded secrecy of the Federal Reserve and create transparency in the central bank.
He wants to allow lenders (not the government) to decide who should qualify for a home loan, as they have so successfully done for the past hundred years.
He wants to end bank transaction spying on US citizens by the IRS.
He wants to end civil asset forfeiture for the criminal theft that it has most certainly become.
He wants to end the cycle of racist profiling, unjust fines and debtor's prisons which we can no longer afford.
He wants to end the cruel insanity of mandatory minimum sentencing which we could never afford.
He wants to allow those non-violent felons who have served their time, a chance to stay clean and become full American citizens again.
See what I mean? It's a tough one! When you weigh the bad against the good, the good senator becomes a difficult decision.
If by some miracle, 2016 comes down to Bernie vs. Rand, with 44 years of voting progressive, for me that choice will be a no-brainer. However, if it comes down to Hillie and Rand, that's going to take some serious soul searching.
If there's one thing I can add to this writing which I am convinced will be useful to many readers, it's this – NEVER, NEVER pour gasoline down the carburetor of an engine to get it started! First of all, you're liable to flood it, thereby making things worse. More importantly, if it backfires you'll wind up in the nearest burn treatment center minus your eyelashes. Just buy a can of spray ether. With a triple blast into the air intake, you don't even have to remove the filter cover.
Good luck Rand.

The Good Senator’s message is all about how he seeks to heal the country of massive debt and stolen freedoms, including every single freedom guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. He’s not that Republican who only cares about the Second Amendment, but the Fourth Amendment, too, which most Republicans don’t seem to give a rip about. That’s one of the reasons he appeals to me so much. We don’t need to be spied on 24/7 as if all of us are assumed terrorists until the government can sift out the few that actually ARE terrorists. If our Founders ever knew about this infringement on our rights, they would be turning in their graves, as it were.
And, like me, he is a Republican who does care about the environment and preserving the air and natural land we are custodians of. While he is not a global warming alarmist, he knows you can still love the environment and want to protect it without going to the extremes the alarmists go to nowadays. When you live in a state, like mine, that has banned burning wood in your fireplace because it produces supposed pollution, then you have gone TOO far with your agenda. When you classify dirt as a pollutant, which it is not (the EARTH is not a pollutant to itself), you have gone too far.
We desperately need a new, revitalized GOP and Rand Paul wants to be the guy who heads it and steers the entire country into safe waters again. This book is so much more than what I was expecting. If you are on the fence about Rand being a good president, then reading this book will convince you that he is perfect for the job. He is ready and he has all the right ideas at the right time. He is our modern day Founding Father, or as close as we're going to get to having one, and we need someone like him to run this country. The Constitution is his guide and the Bill of Rights is his shield. Only a guy like him can give us real hope again.
Rand Paul is no ordinary Politician. He went into the senate with the intention on doing what a senator was supposed to do. That didn't last too long. He didn't want to be one of the cronies who saw business as usual and not stepping on toes as to not stir up trouble. Rand Paul was going to stir up Washington. He began to do things as he saw the people wanted him to. He would fight for the people who had voted for him; for their rights. He would be the man he was, even as others were aghast at his determination to change the way the system ran.
He would fight for, against what others would back him on, 'Term Limits'. He would fight against what Lobbyists had been doing all these years and what the Senate thought was 'going with the flow'. He would fight to 'Audit the Fed' and change what career Politician's had been comfortably going along with.
I cannot give away the whole book but I will tell you that I laughed and cried. I hugged the book as Rand came to life in my heart. I know that he is no ordinary man. Rand Paul stands for people in all walks of life. He actually has the courage to change this country and the big government that has gone out of control and become much too complacent with the way things are 'suppose to run'. Rand Paul will get rid of the corruption because his beliefs do not hold on to the old ways. He is a man for the future.
Rand Paul is more than just a man running for President of the United States. He is a man who the people have a chance to vote for once in a lifetime. He is the man who will bring America back to Her glory. Make no mistake, read this book and join me in rejuvenating the energy people get when they are voting for a change that truly is for the betterment of the people. You will Stand With Rand because Rand is 'Taking a Stand'. He is our hope for the future. Rand Paul is the hope for America.
Read this book and 'Stand with Rand' alongside all good people who care about the future of this great nation.

This book is a great read if you wonder "Who is Dr Rand Paul and what does he stand for?"
In this 2016 election, you will see many candidates make lofty promises, and perhaps attempt to emulate or steal the ideas of others in order to be the next President of the USA. The real question is their record. Do they have the record to back what they are touting they will do for America? Are they being honest or simply blowing out a bunch of hot air, saying or doing whatever is necessary to land the job. Do you want yet another liar leading this country, or do you want someone who will say what they believe, even if it defies what the Washington machine wants. I want a leader who will represent America, and I want someone other than a lawyer to run this country! We need a doctor! We need someone who is matter of fact,-- diagnose and treat the problem rather than run away from them.
