More quotes by Rand Paul
I think we've made the collection haystack so big, no one's ever getting through the haystack to find the needle. What we really need to do is isolate the haystack into a group of suspicious people and spend enormous resources looking at suspicious people, people who we have probable cause.
Rand Paul
There is often variations of evil on both sides of the war. What we have to decide is whether or not regime change is a good idea. It's what the neoconservatives have wanted. It's what the vast majority of those on the stage want.
Rand Paul
I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans. The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the Revolution over! John Adams said it was the spark that led to our war for independence, and I'm proud of standing for the Bill of Rights, and I will continue to stand for the Bill of Rights.
Rand Paul
I will advocate for Kentucky's interests.
Rand Paul
There 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 Paul
The Paris attack was highly sophisticated, well-planned, very clever, took months in the making, very much like 9/11. And there is a 9/11-style attack coming to America.
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
My great grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American Dream.
Rand Paul
The one way, possibly, out of this is for [Bashar] Assad to abdicate and plead, perhaps to Russia or somewhere else. Would save another wave of civilian casualties if we could get him to abdicate.
Rand Paul
You can see why there are more people wanting to come from economically-distressed areas, and they can't all come to America. So it gets into the valid, legitimate debate over immigration as to how do we choose. Do we have a diversity lottery and take people from everywhere, do we base it more on merit?
Rand Paul
We are more polarized. And some of that comes from the people and some of that comes from the media.
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
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 really think that discrimination and racism is a horrible thing. And I don't want any form of it in our government, in our public sphere.
Rand Paul
I need to be very careful about going on certain networks that seem to have a bias.
Rand Paul
I don't want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.
Rand Paul
I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.
Rand Paul
You 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 Paul
No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.
Rand Paul
Some in Washington say that you have to trade your liberty for security.
