If anyone needed a dose of sanity after Zero's long winded lecture on further destroying the country, here it is. No wonder the MSM totally ignored this rebuttal. It is clear and concise.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
He did a better job than Marco last night. Even if the average Joe missed Rand's speech, the Powers that finance and the Powers that desperately want a victory in 2016 are paying attention. Another rebuttal to the POS was not needed, but it showed Rand has the ambition, spirit and purpose to fight the opposition. He is right on the mark in what we need and want in a serious candidate going forward.
Rand is everything like his Daddy on the Economy which always made sense and nothing like his Daddy on Foreign Policy which Rand distinguished in a Heritage speech a week or so ago.
ZitatAnd if Congress refuses to obey its own rules, if Congress refuses to pass a budget, if Congress refuses to read the bills, then I say:
Sweep the place clean. Limit their terms and send them home!
I have seen the inner sanctum of Congress and believe me there is no monopoly on knowledge there.
If they will not listen, if they will not balance the budget, then we should limit their terms.
We are the party that adheres to the Constitution. We will not let the liberals tread on the Second Amendment!
We will fight to defend the entire Bill of Rights from the right to trial by jury to the right to be free from unlawful searches.
We will stand up against excessive government power wherever we see it.
We cannot and will not allow any President to act as if he were a king.
We will not let any President use executive orders to impinge on the Second Amendment.
We will not tolerate secret lists of American citizens who can be killed without trial.
Montesquieu wrote that there can be no liberty when the executive branch and the legislative branch are combined. Separation of powers is a bedrock principle of our Constitution.
We took the President to court over his unconstitutional recess appointments and won.
If necessary, we will take him to court again if he attempts to legislate by executive order.
Congress must reassert its authority as the protector of these rights, and stand up for them, no matter which party is in power.
Congress must stand as a check to the power of the executive, and it must stand as it was intended, as the voice of the people.
The people are crying out for change. They are asking for us to hear their voices, to fix our broken system, to right our economy and to restore their liberty.
Let us tonight let them know that we hear their voices.
Amen Rand Paul!
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
