Ron Paul's Assertion "Liberty" Will Stop Ebola is Stupid and Wrong



I was listening to this podcast at work today and laughed my ass off. A Libertarian co worker of mine asked me what was so funny I told him he wouldn't understand. Enjoy.

It's their bunker mentality of shoot first, you can always claim Stand your ground later. That's why these GOP run states are tailoring their laws to accommodate that mentality.

*by "people" I of course mean people with money, you know, rich people. There's no money in helping poor people. In fact, numerous studies have shown death is cheap. So, rich people get A1, 5 star, top notch, celebrity-approved care. Poor people get cheap death. Yay, freedom!

They killed rich and poor.

People really need to stop and consider the absurdity of what Ron Paul thinks and says.

Libertarians. What a waste of gray matter.
