Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

Do we fear terrorism so much that we throw out our Constitution, and are we unwilling and afraid to debate our Constitution?
Rand Paul
Image
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
Image
What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.
Rand Paul
Image
As commander-in-chief, I will do whatever it takes to defend America. But in defending America, we cannot lose what America stands for.
Rand Paul
Image
We are more polarized. And some of that comes from the people and some of that comes from the media.

Image
We need to get insurance out of the way and let the consumer interact with their doctor the way they did basically before World War II.
Rand Paul

The U.S. should never get involved where we have no clear national interest. We should not intervene militarily in a country like Syria, where we can’t separate friend from foe and might end up arming the very people who hate us the most.

Someone is an ignoramus who would say that, 'Oh, we had three hurricanes this year. This proves that somehow the climate is warming.' The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and you're going to say that we had four hurricanes and so it proves a theory?

Some in Washington say that you have to trade your liberty for security.

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
Image
I think we need to get to the bottom of it. And I think there should be an investigation [of hackers attacks] because in order to defend ourselves against other adversarial countries, we have to protect our information.
Rand Paul
Image
I think if Russia is really an honest signatory to the chemical weapons ban, if Syria wants to be, ultimately someone has to be responsible for killing civilians. And that's the hard part out of this.
Rand Paul

You need to have people within your own party that have the wherewithal to stand up to you.
Rand Paul
Image
I do believe people ought to be left alone. I don't care who you are or what you do at home or who your friends are or where you hang out, what kind of music you listen to, what you do in your home is your own business. That's always been who I am. I am a leave me alone kind of guy.

I'm the leading voice in America for not arming the allies of ISIS.

I think it's a real debate how big NATO should be and whether or not it's more provocative than good. Whenever there's a war fought, our soldiers fight it and our dollars pay for it. And, really, our decisions need to be about our national security.

I would have never released the sanctions [for Iran] before there was consistent evidence of compliance.
