RAND PAULIt’s curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you’re saving money.
RAND PAULI don’t want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.
RAND PAULI am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.
RAND PAULNo Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.
RAND PAULThere comes a time, there comes a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer. That time is now and I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts go unchallenged.
RAND PAULIn the aftermath of 9/11, the Patriot Act was rushed to the floor. Several hundred pages. Nobody read it … But people voted because they were fearful and people said there could be another attack and Americans will blame me if I don’t vote on this.
RAND PAULThe state doesn’t own your children. Parents own the children.
RAND PAULNo president has the right to say he is judge, jury and executioner.
RAND PAULThe Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.
RAND PAULI think we need to treat everybody with dignity.
RAND PAULI’ve put pencil to paper… and I’ve said I would cut spending, and I’ve said exactly where. Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign aid, because I think we ought to quit sending it to countries that hate us.
RAND PAULYou can’t have it both ways. You can’t tell me that you’re taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, ‘Bring me home some bacon.’ The pig has been picked clean.
RAND PAULToppling secular dictators in the Middle East has only led to chaos and the rise of radical Islam.
RAND PAULIt’s a little different when you spend 30 years developing all these companies that we just ask [Donald Trump] to sell them. So I don’t think that’s a fair request.
RAND PAULThe great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the Cold War, is that the engine of capitalism – the individual – is mightier than any collective.
