The Cheerfull Anachronism (Aka Greenspan's #1 Pain in the ass)

America's (and probably the whole world's) only elected politician committed to the principle of strictly limited government, Ron Paul, is featured in a Newsweek article by George Will. Paul was of course also Alan Greenspan's most difficult opponent during congressional hearings, frequently reminding him of his Objectivist, pro-gold past.

While Will, being a self-described "big government conservative" ultimately disagrees with Paul and dismisses him as an "anachronism", you can even in him sense a certain degree of respect and admiration for a politician which is actually committed to the founding principles of America.
