Mr. Mannion has a great “take” on Rand Paul…
Rand Paul didn’t wander in from the hills. He was born in Pittsburgh. He grew up in Texas but in a city, a little city, but still a city of over 20,000 people. He went to college at Baylor University, a little city on its own of about 14,000 people, in Waco, Texas, population of about 125,000, then went on to medical school at Duke University, another little city of around 14,000, in Durham, North Carolina, a city of close to a quarter million people. He hung out his shingle in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a city of only 58,000 or so.
You can’t have that many people bumping up against each other without lots of rules and regulations just to control the traffic.
It’s not simply the case that Paul’s lived his whole life sheltered and protected by governments large and small. His life as it is wouldn’t have been possible except for those governments. He is a pure product of government. And this is the case for most self-proclaimed libertarians. Their lives wouldn’t be possible without not just government but without liberal government.
