Writes George Ajjan: “Karin Friedemann points out that Rose Wilder Lane, whom Ron Paul mentioned in his ‘Onward!‘ email yesterday as one of the ‘heroes of freedom’, was the daughter of Almanzo Wilder. He attributed his unusual first name to a family tradition dating back to the Crusades, in which an ancestor of Wilder had his life saved by a certain el-Manzoor – Almanzo being the anglicized tribute. Karin says, ‘The good deed of one Muslim is resulting in a presidential candidacy. Never underestimate the power of mercy!'”
