The problem with being a libertarian is that it is impossible to be ideologically pure and govern and the same time.

Take, Rand Paul for example.  This week Paul had a whole mess of trouble trying to explain if he would quarantine people who have been exposed to Ebola.  His first response is that government should not have the right to detain people.  Then he adds —

“I think there is a reasonable public concern to say, ‘You know what, you really should be going to the discotheque; you shouldn’t be going to the local bar; you shouldn’t be going to the local school cafeteria, so I think there are reasonable precautions,'” he said. “I think we have to be very careful of people’s civil liberties, but I’m also not saying that the government doesn’t have a role in trying to prevent contagion.”

The discotheque?  There’s still discotheques?

So those mirrored disco balls are what is to blame for his hair?

Rule of thumb:  Never go to a discotheque – whether you have been exposed to Ebola or not.  Just don’t go.
