17. "Extreme foolishness or irrationality."
Tue Jan 24, 2012, 03:36 PM
Jan 2012

in·san·i·ty/inˈsanitē/
Noun:
1. The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.
2. Extreme foolishness or irrationality.

Some examples of his incredibly obvious nutbaggery:

"The people that want big fences and guns, sure, we could secure the border. A barbed wire fence with machine guns, that would do the trick. I don't believe that is what America is all about ... Every time you think about the fence, think about the fences being used against us, keeping us in." –arguing that a border fence could be used against Americans, September 2011

"How about getting rid of the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture. Just go down the list. Get rid of it. Cut the budget in half. Everything that's not constitutional. That's a good place to start." –MSNBC interview, 2009

"The regulations are much tougher in a free market, because you cannot commit fraud, you cannot steal, you cannot hurt people, and the failure has come that government wouldn't enforce this. In the Industrial Revolution there was a collusion and you could pollute and they got away with it. But in a true free market in a libertarian society you can't do that. You have to be responsible. So the regulations would be tougher." - Interview from The Daily Show
