Ron Paul: No Federal Financial Aid for Tornado Victims

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, stood by his libertarian beliefs on Sunday, saying that victims of the violent storms and tornadoes that have battered a band of states in the South and Midwest in recent days should not be given emergency financial aid from the federal government.

“There is no such thing as federal money,” Paul said, on CNN’sState of the Union. “Federal money is just what they steal from the states and steal from you and me.”

“The people who live in tornado alley, just as I live in hurricane alley, they should have insurance,” Paul said.

Paul said there was a role for the National Guard to restore order and provide care and shelter in major emergencies, but that theFederal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) led to nothing but “frustration and anger.”

“To say that any accident that happens in the country, send in FEMA, send in the money, the government has all this money—it is totally out of control and it’s not efficient,” Paul said.

Lose all your things in a natural disaster? Too bad, shoulda had insurance.
Lose all your things in something beyond your control? Too bad, the government shouldn’t pay for it.
Lose all your things thanks to my God? Too bad, you can remain homeless and hungry.

Good work Ron Paul. Keep it classy.

But let’s not mention the time Paul requested millions of dollars of federal aid for hurricane recovery in the Gulf Coast.

Fuck this man. Why would you vote for him?

Ron Paul is also a racist and a medical doctor who thinks people without health insurance should die, but let’s all act surprised anyway.

It was his newsletter, and it was under his name, so he always got to see the final product. … He would proof it.

If he edited the newsletters, clearly this would contradict what Paul himself has said about them. The Paul campaign denies these allegations, but this should get this back in the news cycle for a full week. source (via • follow)

He promises to end the wars, but the wars expand.

Funny, I thought combat operations in Iraq were over and that we’re drawing down troops in Afghanistan. But hey, why let facts get in the way.

After tonight, I’m convinced.

“We should be like 1900; we should be like 1940, 1950, 1960. I live on the Gulf Coast; we deal with hurricanes all the time. Galveston is in my district.” -Ron Paul, New Hampshire, August 2011, explaining why FEMA should not respond to Hurricane Irene.

The 1900 Galveston hurricane cost the 2005 equivalent of $99.4 billion dollars. It remains the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history.

Also, according to some newsletters he once published, Ron Paul doesn’t care about black people.

Last night, Iowa chose a fake conservative, a homophobe and a homophobic racist as the top three Republican presidential contenders. It’s so refreshing to see the GOP’s brand of white diversity in action.

Did you people know that before you could write crazy shit on Tumblr and WordPress, people had to type their crazy shit up and print it up on what was called ‘paper,’ and distribute it by hand — reaching only the few paranoid conspiracists who lived within walking distance of your, I guess what you would call ‘lair’?

JON STEWART, remarking on Ron Paul’s racist newsletters, on The Daily Show

"Ron Paul is the only person running for president in either party who seems determined to be consistent, come hell or high water. The only time I ever saw him dodge a question was when somebody asked him if he preferred letting people die in a ditch to government-financed health care. But, even then, you could tell that he really did prefer the ditch. ...Basically, Paul seems to want to revert to the 18th century, when every bank could set its own monetary policy and every community ran its own schools — presuming, of course, the community wanted to pay for them."
