Salon.com: a new low
Ron Paul displays the moral idiocy of someone who declares that a person who pushes a little old lady out of the path of a bus is just as bad as a person who pushes a little old lady into the path of a bus, because both are equally guilty of pushing little old ladies around.
Well, Michael Lind, a government that pushes a little old lady out of the path of a bus, or into it, is STILL PUSHING A LITTLE OLD LADY AROUND. Moral idiocy indeed.
You betray your statist inclinations. That people can't protect themselves, they need to be leashed and shoved by their owners into proper choices.
Get your goddamned hands off my grandma. Shouldn't government instead be race-screening bus drivers, upping their fees, and installing old-lady-catchers on the fronts of all Greyhounds, because they just might shove some geriatric under them?
No, Michael, the answer is to get rid of the man shoving people. Period.
