The Paul Family takes on America

 Amazon on Rand Paul (click here)

Rand Paul likes inflammatory language. So what's new for a Tea Party Congressman.

His book takes sophisticated regulation developed over decades and attempts to make a voter's decision. The Clean Water Act is in trouble, but, not because Rand Paul likes to dummy down its regulation, but, because the definition of the term 'navigable waters' has been under attack in recent years by the Right Wing. Not only that but navigable waters is under attack by the Climate Crisis. There is now a salt wedge coming up the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico because of the drought and there are areas of the Mississippi being dredged by the Army Corp to continue to accommodate shipping traffic. 

Taking sophisticated concepts developed to protect American waters and its quality is the favorite past time of Congressman Paul and if one likes entertainment in political mind speak, then this is the book for you.

In Ron Paul's swan song, I think my favorite chapter has to be Chapter Two, "The Foreign Policy of the Founding Fathers."

Hm. 

Founding Fathers.

Foreign Policy.

Sure, we can relate to all that considering the French helped in large measure with the victory of the Revolutionary War of the Founding Fathers.

Whatever.
