More quotes by Rand Paul
The Founders never intended for Americans to trust their government. Our entire Constitution was predicated on the notion that government was a necessary evil, to be restrained and minimized as much as possible.
Rand Paul
If you're white and you're rich in the USA, if you get busted for drugs, you get a good attorney, and you in all likelihood serve no time. But if you're poor, black, Hispanic, or poor and white for that matter, you can get put in jail.
Rand Paul
The problem is that in our country, they make it almost impossible for politicians to win anything. In England it's easier to win a libel suit.
Rand Paul
The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed on the colonies by King George III. This act inevitably led to the American Revolution. Just as the Stamp Act did in 1765, Obamacare should act as a wake-up call. Chief Justice Roberts provides us with a similar call to action.
Rand Paul
I can tell you who's planning terroris attacks. The leaders of ISIL. And I can tell you where they're at. They're in Raqqa, Syria. So for God's sakes, Mr. President Barack Obama , change your strategy. Come up with a ground force to go in and destroy the caliphate before we get hit here at home. That would be my advice to you.
Rand Paul
Because Republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function-some have concluded that Republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rand Paul
I would introduce and support legislation to send Roe v. Wade back to the states.
Rand Paul
I just can't vote to go to war unless I think there's a real clear-cut American purpose in the war, that we're going to win and that we're not going fight for stalemate.
Rand Paul
I think we're never fully protected, but I think we need to do everything we can to stop threats to us.
Rand Paul
Fear & complacency allow power to accumulate & liberty & privacy to suffer
Rand Paul
The most important thing you will do is yet to be seen. For me, I found my important thing to do when I learned to do surgery on the eye, when I learned to restore a person's vision.
Rand Paul
I would pay to have those adjudications enrolled into the federal background system so we could detect people who are mentally ill before they buy a gun. That is a real problem.
Rand Paul
Well, let's be clear, I'm the only one on the stage who actually has a five-year budget that balances.
Rand Paul
I would have never released the sanctions [for Iran] before there was consistent evidence of compliance.
Rand Paul
I'm not someone who's sort of still trying to figure out what I believe in.
Rand Paul
What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP.' I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business. And I think it's part of this sort of blame-game society in the sense that it's always got to be someone's fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen.
Rand Paul
I'm a Reagan conservative. Reagan did negotiate with the Soviets. But you have to negotiate from a position of strength.
Rand Paul
[Marco] Rubio says we should collect all Americans' records all of the time. The Constitution says otherwise. I think they're both wrong. I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.
Rand Paul
Using taxes to punish the rich, in reality, punishes everyone because we are all interconnected. High taxes and excessive regulation and massive debt are not working.
Rand Paul
I’ve never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on. If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash, I don’t care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him.
