WASHINGTON - JUNE 22: U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) (L) talks to his father Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) (R) during a news conference June 22, 2011 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. A number of Republican congressional members joined The Cut, Cap, Balance Pledge Coalition at the news conference "to oppose any debt ceiling increase unless a 'Cut, Cap and Balance' plan is passed."

As Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul considers a 2016 run for president, the political world wonders how his father, former Republican Texas Rep. Ron Paul, will figure into his campaign. The Daily Caller has exclusively obtained a recent email exchange between father and son.

The exchange is reprinted here for the first time, in its entirety, and without comment.

FROM: Sen. Rand Paul
TO: Dr. Ron Paul
DATE: May 8th, 2013

Dear Dr. Paul,

While I appreciate your interest in helping me launch my presidential campaign, we need to talk about some of these staffers you’ve sent over. I understand they’re all committed loyalists and friends of the family but, at the suggestion of my political team, I’ve decided to let them go. I need your help doing this, as they don’t “recognize my authority” and are now squatting in my Louisville office while they await your instructions.

The security personnel all appear to be members of a biker gang, and I think the speechwriter you sent over is an honest-to-God sea pirate. This is all impossible to verify, however, as none of them will give me their real names.

Also, the press secretary you hired on my behalf — whom I know only as “Colonel Sven” — refuses to trim his beard or wear anything but an old Rhodesian army uniform. I worry about the message this appearance will send to reporters and voters, particularly if current demographic trends continue.

These men have set up some kind of bartering system in the office, and I have come to believe that at least one of the bikers is selling drugs during my speeches, which is attracting an undesirable element to public events. And while I appreciate their refusal to be paid in fiat currency, our finances at this point preclude us from paying anyone in Dutch krugerrands or clean needles.

Please call me as soon as possible so we can work this all out.

Sincerely,

Sen. Rand Paul

It appears that Obama appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is at the top of the list for the post of National Security Advisor, according to a report on The Cable Wednesday.

Sources told The Cable that Rice is the likely successor to the position currently held by Tom Donilon, ”It’s definitely happening. She is sure she is coming and so too her husband and closest friends.”

Although she initially caused an ire with Congressional Republicans after her bogus talking points on five Sunday morning political shows last year, it appears that fervor is not where it once was.

However, the Executive Director of the newly formed Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity,  Daniel McAdams, has not forgotten all the other things Rice did during her service, as he writes in a post on the Institute’s website.

Calling Rice, one of the architects of the Left-neocon favorite regime change tool, the “humanitarian intervention,” McAdams says the erroneous talking points are the least of the violations she has committed.

“Rice’s real crime is her extreme enthusiasm over the use of force to “liberate” the oppressed masses in countries where the US has conveniently decided a regime change is in order, McAdams writes.

“She was a main force behind the UN subterfuge that led to a green light for US bombing of Libya, assuring the president that she could push through a UN Security Council resolution authorizing “all necessary measures” to be used against Libya.”

He continues, “She happily spread the lies and war propaganda to coerce support for an invasion, and she had her own “mushroom cloud” moment when she peddled the lie to fellow diplomats behind closed doors that Gaddafi was issuing Viagra to his troops so that they may carry out mass rape.”

“Libya is a total disaster two years after its “liberation” by NATO bombs.” On the potential Rice promotion, he states, “Rice belongs in the big house, not in the White House.”
