I'll Pass

The man is well-spoken, thoughI admittedly have no clue who he is. I like hearing all sides of the spectrum and started with his short Birch Society take. I was very disappointed to find him immediately slinging names, calling the JBS, Ron Paul, and Ron Paul's supporters 'loony' and 'crazy'. The second star is just because he does sound fine, and unlike this journalist, I won't let bias completely cloud my judgment.
