White Racist Millionaire Rand Paul Claims Healthcare Policy Makes Him A Slave

Lawrence O'Donnell did such a spectacular job on this Friday evening that there's not even anything to add. Last year-- and more than once-- we warned Kentucky voters that in electing a deranged misfit like Rand Paul they were not sending a mainstream conservative to the Senate on behalf of their state, but an unhinged and irresponsible nihilist and racist throwback. Please take the journey with O'Donnell above, especially if you happen to live in Kentucky.

A real chip off the crazy old block, too. Papa Ron Paul announced his third vanity run for the presidency and immediately embarked on a jihad against FEMA-- what timing! Viewing the agency as unconstitutional, Paul questioned why federal funds should pay to protect citizens from natural disasters and concluded, "It's a moral hazard to say that government is always going to take care of us when we do dumb things":

BLITZER: On the whole issue of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, do you want to see that agency ended?

PAUL: Well, if you want to live in a free society, if you want to pay attention to the constitution, why not? I think it's bad economics. I think it's bad morality. And it's bad constitutional law. Why should people like myself, who had, not too long ago, a house on the Gulf Coast and it's – it's expensive there and it's risky and it's dangerous. Why should somebody from the central part of the United States rebuild my house? Why shouldn't I have to buy my own insurance and protect about the potential dangers? I mean it's-- it's a moral hazard to say that government is always going to take care of us when we do dumb things. I'm trying to get people to not to dumb things. Besides, it's not authorized in the constitution.

BLITZER: And if there's a disaster, like flooding or-- or an earthquake or Hurricane Katrina, what's wrong with asking fellow Americans to help their-- their-- their fellow citizens?

PAUL: Nothing. And I think Americans are very, very generous and they have traditionally. The big problem is Americans are getting poor and they're not able to voluntarily come to the rescue. But to coerce people, to ask them to help, that is fine and dandy. But when you bankrupt our country and nobody has a job and then they say, well, FEMA needs to bail out everybody, then all we're doing is compounding our problems.
