I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.

Any time we give people the ability to use force, we have to be very careful. It's sort of like the people who spy on us - you've got to watch the watchers.
Rand Paul
Image
I don't think we're doing an adequate vetting process of those who are coming to our country.

Image
It'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.

Of strong importance to me is the defense of minority rights, not just racial minorities, but ideological and religious minorities.

My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.

Image
Gun control is not part of a strategy to defeat radical Islam or take ISIL down. However it is a problem back here at home. A million people have been adjudicated a danger to themselves or to others at the state court level.

Image
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
Image
I have a question, a question for the president: Do you hate all rich people, or just rich people who don't contribute to your campaign? Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?

The only way to save Social Security is to raise the retirement age.
Rand Paul
Image
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.

You have to decide in advance whether you're ready go to war. If you guys are ready to send a million troops into Ukraine and fight World War III, you're going to do it without my support because I think that's a really foolish notion.

A Tea Party tidal wave is coming.

Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?
