2. When I think of a leader I think of someone who inspires
others to lead as opposed to follow. I think of someone
who obeys their conscience and stands behind what is
right no matter what the cost. I think of someone who
inspires others to do so as well. Great leaders are
inspired by other great leaders. It is known that Martin
Luther King Jr. was inspired by Gandhi. Both of these
men possessed honesty, integrity, wisdom, and the
desire to do what is right at all costs. Both have gone on
to move others to aspire to these qualities as well. A true
leader would, in my opinion, have to posses these ideals
and stand by them no matter what.
3. A good leader is inevitably controversial for there
are always those who will oppose and attack what
they do not agree with or understand. George
Orwell once said that “In times of universal
deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” All
leaders have their critics. I believe that the truth
about a person can be found in what they have done
with their lives and how they have helped others
and why. It is not just what a person says, or even
what they do, but why they do it that makes them
who they are.
4. He is a husband, a father and a grandfather. He has
been a doctor, a soldier, and a Congressman. His
conscience is his guide in all that he does and it
shows in his 54 year marriage and his medical
practice’s policy of treating the poor for free instead
of taking government money. As a Congressman he
has always believed in individual rights and
responsibility and this is reflected in his consistently
constitutional voting record. He has inspired others
to, as Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see in
the world.” Because the best leaders lead by
example.
5. I believe that
Ron Paul is a
leader
As a U.S.
Congressman he was
known as the tax
payers best friend,
as a doctor he
delivered over 5,000
babies,
as a flight surgeon he
went into the military
to save lives not to
take lives,
he has also studied
economics extensively
and has always agreed
with Peter Schiff as he
warned of economic
collapse for more than
a decade.
6. Ron Paul’s old
medical practice
partner, Jack Pruett
on treating the poor
Ron Paul style
No. 2, says
Pruett, was that the
practice would not
participate in any
federal health
programs, which
meant, as Paul
described it, "that we
will see all Medicare
and Medicaid patients
free of charge, and they
will be treated just like
all of our other
patients, but we're not
going to charge them
and accept federal
funds.“
