Ok, so maybe I'm paraphrasing a bit... but only a bit from the article...
Taking another unconventional stand, Kentucky's Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul criticized President Barack Obama's handling of the Gulf oil spill Friday as putting "his boot heel on the throat of BP" and "really un-American."
Un-American? To protest the dangerous treatment of American citizens by a British Corporation? Perhaps Mr. Paul should read up on his American history... Here's a starting point. Unfortunately, Mr. Rand's reading list is too full of the books of his namesake, Ayn Rand... here's a quote from Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal...
Businessmen are the one group that distinguishes capitalism and the American way of life from the totalitarian statism that is swallowing the rest of the world. All the other social groups- workers, farmers, professional men, scientists, soldiers- exist under dictatorships, even though they exist in chains, in terror, in misery, and in progressive self-destruction. But there is no such group as businessmen under a dictatorship. Their place is taken by armed thugs: by bureaucrats and commissars. Businessmen are the symbol of a free society- the symbol of America.
Robber Barons. One can imagine Rand Paul's fantasy life... sitting back in his velvet chair, smoking cigars and swirling cognac with ceo's of BP, and Haliburton, and Massey Energy... Populist my ass.
