Via Instapundit: “This is probably why John McCain and Lindsay Graham have their panties in a wad: Rand Paul filibuster energizes Tea Party against GOP establishment.” Meanwhile, seen on Facebook:
Remember all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the regressives on the political Left about waterboarding (something, by the way, that is done to certain military men as part of their training, not to mention CIA agents)?
Awful, awful, awful! Torture, torture, torture! Barbarian, barbarian, barbarian (that’s enough of that)!
But wait! What about…
Sitting here, watching the 13th hour of Rand Paul’s Senate filibuster, I see a lot of angst on Twitter about Senator Kelly Ayotte’s conspicuous absence from the #StandWithRand party in the US Capitol.
Now, I wasn’t able to watch the entire event, so I am not sure if Kelly showed up earlier to add her input. However, her absence, immediately following her “Cool Kid” dinner this evening with Obama at the swanky Jefferson hotel, is certainly concerning.
Yes, I have always liked Rand Paul, in case you were curious, and he is my kind of Republican…so in keeping with that, here you go; Rand Paul’s response c/o the Tea Party (though not necessarily as the Tea Party) to El Presidente’ Obama’s State of Delusion the Union Speech.
Back on February 5th James Pindell interviewed Senator Rand Paul on the WGIR morning show. Foreign Policy, Immigration, Right to Work, and more… If you missed it, well–here it is. (Audio) [jwplayer mediaid=”47238″]
Senator Paul speaks to the issue of Radical Islam and American engagement; No to isolationism, no to neoconservatism, yes to containment. He’s spot on though I’d be interested in hearing his opinion about the costs Reagan embraced to expand the military as part of the Reagan foreign policy he otherwise seems to approve of in … Read more
“I’m against having a King” And of course, one of the big questions is “like father like son?” Certainly among the candidates that are being mentioned is Rand Paul. Here he is on gun control and Obama’s threat to use Executive Orders against the Second Amendment: ”I think having a monarch is what we fought … Read more
From a recent column in The Wall Street Journal by Senator Paul: There is an implication, he observes, “that raising taxes—that is, extracting and confiscating more income from workers and businesses—is harmful to the economy.
I am easily persuaded of this truism. As Milton Friedman said, nobody spends someone else’s money as frugally or as wisely as they spend their own.
But if raising taxes would lead us toward trouble…
Yesterday I put up this post where a caller to a talk show made it clear that her expectation (demand?) is that others are responsible for taking care of her and her children. There was no discussion of voluntarily helping her, only the vagueness of Hillary’s “it takes a village” – in this case, the village WILL pay for my family because I had more kids than I can support.
Therefore, a palate cleanser is in order – Senator Rand Paul addressed this mentality back when Obamacare was being debated and he went right to the heart of the matter:
Bonus: I STILL love the video of Rand giving the you know what to an Dept of Energy flack over toilets:
Trying to squeeze in speeches as time allows. Condi Rice, Susana Martinez, and this guy. Someday, if no one screws it up for him, this guy would probably make a good president.
