..Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question about a dying man without health insurance...the teabaggers in the audience cheered for the dying man who had no chance at life...Conclusion: the teabaggers believe health insurance is a privilege not a right and if one decides not to purchase insurance and then subsequently gets a terminal illness well that's his fuckin stupidity, so die, just die....no turning back, too bad sucker you had your chance....

Couple of points:

One, Ron Paul made it clear during that debate that the patient would not bee turned away and, as a physician himself, stated that he never turned away a patient.

Secondly, health insurance and/or health care is not a right.

It is a service provided. You have no right to a service. Food is essential for life. Does this mean you have a right to enter a grocery store and raid the shelves? Of course not.

As an individual you have the right to contract for healthcare services. Additionally, you have a right to administer health care services to yourself.

But you DO NOT have a right to force someone to provide you with said services. To suggest otherwise is to advocate slavery.

Another point of information. This post is about libertarians not the Tea Party. Further, Ron Paul is not a member of the tea party caucus he is a member of the Liberty caucus. The tea party of today, while it may have started with good intentions, has been co-opted by the establishment as clearly evident by the 49% of its caucus members who voted in favor of raising the debt ceiling.

There is no shortage of comments and videos of Ron Paul outlandish remarks on the internet, just try Google.
Your denying it isn't going to make it go away.
And your blaming the teaparty won't either.

Although I think that the stupid coldhearted teabaggers are full of crap as well.

The Republick Fascists can not be handed the presidency under any circumstances.

If you care to make an argument that is one thing. If you care to make an intelligent or reasoned argument such is a wholly different matter.

If your intention is the latter then I'd suggest you direct our readers to the "outlandish" remarks and videos made by a one Ron Paul rather than just simply suggesting them.

By referring us directly to the "outlandish" remarks of which you speak, we can better engage in a dialogue regarding the validity behind these "outlandish" comments.

As for "Republick Fascists", I concur. We cannot hand the executive branch over to them. Fortunately for me and the rest of the Ron Paul supporters, Ron Paul is the furthest thing from a fascist that we presently have running for that particular office.

Case in point is this "outlandish" remark (at the 1:00 mark):

Yeah...you're probably right. I mean who needs to adhere to the Constitution, or respect the Bill of Rights. We should have our masters whip us and impose the greatest tyranny the world has ever known upon us.

You serve your masters well don't you.
