Honestly, I don't think it's a good time to be a young teenager reading political information unguided (I'm not sure adults should be reading it, either). There's been a shift in the media over the last 20 years or so away from facts and towards appeals to emotion. Some of these arguments are ridiculous binary statements (ie. "If you're not with us, you're against us!") that even adults are being sucked into (which is why they're doing it in the first place). Since teenagers are already prone to thinking in absolutes, and since they're very emotional, they're particularly vulnerable to this kind of manipulation.
If he wants to read about Ron Paul, I'd suggest you pull him aside and let him know that a lot of what's said in political circles isn't really true, and is calculated to advance a particular agenda, so be sure to check the facts and hear the other side before rushing to judgement. And then make sure he's getting his news from a variety of source, especially those who hold politicians accountable for their statements, like Factcheck.org.
