The Guy with the Two First Names

That presidential candidate with the two first names, Ron Paul, is spouting his craziness again.   This from the Huffington Post: 

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul told NBC News on Friday that "there's no magic about" the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  He said that he doesn't see the need for a federal response to Hurricane Irene as the powerful storm makes its way up the east coast.

"We should be like 1900, we should be like 1940, 1950, 1960," said the Texas congressman in weighing in on the matter during a stop in New Hampshire.  He regarded FEMA as a "great contribution to deficit financing."

Ron Paul certainly suffers from dementia!  Guess Paul forgot about the Galveston storm in 1900 which killed thousands.  It seems that Republicans want to move our country back to the past.  They see the past as better times and this begs  the question: better times for whom?
