One of the things, one of the things that really got to me was the thing in Houston where you had the government, the mayor actually, trying to get the sermons of ministers. When the government tries to invade the church to enforce its own opinion on marriage, that's when it's time to resist.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Standing up on the right to trial by jury is something that, really, a lot of people should agree with, you know, both on the Right and the Left.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Let's overwhelm the Castro regime with iPhones, iPads, American cars and American ingenuity.
Quote by -Rand Paul
If you have 'too big to fail' for cities or for states, and they believe they'll be bailed out, they'll continue to make unwise decisions.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Michael Brown's death and the suffocation of Eric Garner in New York for selling untaxed cigarettes indicate something is wrong with criminal justice in America.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The government has a history of not treating people fairly, from the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II to African-Americans in the Civil Rights era.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think the over-militarization of local police forces is also true of the over-militarization of the federal government, so I don't really run and hide from the comment that I think there are 48 federal agencies that have SWAT teams.
Quote by -Rand Paul
My tax cut would cut hundreds of billions of dollars. So to do it, you have to be willing to cut spending, too. But if you were to cut hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, that money's left in communities.
Quote by -Rand Paul
We live in a democracy, and people are free to sometimes choose the wrong leader.
Quote by -Rand Paul
As long as I sit at Henry Clay's desk, I will remember his lifelong desire to forge agreement, but I will also keep close to my heart the principled stand of his cousin, Cassius Clay, who refused to forsake the life of any human, simply to find agreement.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think public awareness of how good vaccines are for kids and how they are good for public health is a great idea.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Washington is horribly broken. We are encountering a day of reckoning and this movement, this Tea Party movement, is a message to Washington that we're unhappy and that we want things done differently.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think young people of all races are interested in justice; maybe not so much taxes and regulations, but they're interested in justice and the right to privacy on the Internet.
Quote by -Rand Paul
No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.
Quote by -Rand Paul
You campaigned against rich people and you got enough envy whipped up in the country and you're gonna get 'em. You're gonna stick it to those rich people. But guess what? You may not get anymore revenue. You may not get anymore economic growth. But you can say, 'I stuck it to the rich people.'
Quote by -Rand Paul
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?
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Rand Paul
As a doctor, I will take it and make it my mission to heal the nation, reverse the course of Obamacare, and repeal every last bit of it.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The NSA should keep close watch on suspected terrorists to keep our country safe - through programs permitting due process, the naming of a suspect, and oversight by an accountable court.
Quote by -Rand Paul
After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?
Quote by -Rand Paul
To defend our country we need to gather intelligence on the enemy, but when the intelligence lies to Congress, how are we to trust them? The phone records of law abiding citizens are none of their damn business.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Really, having a gun registry and having to rely on the government to keep it secret, the government isn't so great at keeping confidences.
Quote by -Rand Paul
William Lloyd Garrison was up there with Frederick Douglass being thrown off trains and going through what happened in the 1960s in 1840 in Boston.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I support engagement, diplomacy, and trade with Cuba, China, Vietnam, and many countries with less than stellar human rights records, because I believe that once enslaved people taste freedom and see the products of capitalism, they will become hungry for freedom themselves.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I don't think it's hypothetical whether or not it's a good idea to topple secular dictators in the Middle East and hope to get a good outcome and hope that stability comes thereafter.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The Republican promise is for policies that create economic growth. Republicans believe lower taxes, less regulation, balanced budgets, a solvent Social Security and Medicare will stimulate economic growth.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think the Supreme Court has not yet caught up to an era in which one keeps one's papers in a cloud, not a castle.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back.
Quote by -Rand Paul
People say America is exceptional. I agree, but it's not the complexion of our skin or the twists in our DNA that make us unique. America is exceptional because we were founded upon the notion that everyone should be free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Quote by -Rand Paul
My budget is similar to the Penny Plan, which cuts 1 percent a year for five or six years and balances the budget.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Both sides of the aisle - Republican and Democrat - have been unwilling and afraid to address the deficit, and someone's got to.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I grew up in a family that despised not only communism but collectivism, socialism, and any 'ism' that deprived the individual of his or her natural rights.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Throughout the 1970s, '80s and '90s, federal mandatory minimum laws were implemented that forced judges to deliver sentences far lengthier than they would have if allowed to use their own discretion. The result has been decades of damage, particularly to young people.
Quote by -Rand Paul
A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.
