Rand Paul Quotes on Politics/Power/Government/President
I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.
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
I would prefer the [USA] government to be the policeman and not the businessman.
Rand Paul
No president has the right to say he is judge, jury and executioner.
Rand Paul
I don’t think we’re actually using the constitutional tools that we have in an appropriate fashion.
Rand Paul
As president, I would promote a Fair and Flat Tax plan, known as the ‘EZ Tax.’ My tax plan would be the largest tax cut in American history, reforming individual, business, and worker taxes.
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.
Rand Paul
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so.
Rand Paul
Rand Paul Quotes on Equality/Racism/Economy
In a free society, we will tolerate boorish people, who have abhorrent behavior, but if we’re civilized people, we publicly criticize that, and don’t belong to those groups, or don’t associate with those people.
Rand Paul
We will not cut one penny from the safety net until we’ve cut every penny from corporate welfare.
Rand Paul
I don’t like the idea of telling private business owners – I abhor racism. I think it’s a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant – but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership. But I absolutely think there should be no discrimination in anything that gets any public funding.
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?
Rand Paul
If you’re white and you’re rich in the USA, if you get busted for drugs, you get a good attorney, and you in all likelihood serve no time. But if you’re poor, black, Hispanic, or poor and white for that matter, you can get put in jail.
Rand Paul
The president wants more tax money in Washington. I want more money left in the communities, particularly poor communities, particularly communities that have high unemployment.
Rand Paul

Rand Paul
For liberty to expand, the government must shrink. For the economy to grow, the government must get out of the way.

Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.

Rand Paul Quotes on Security/Terrorism
If you are accused of being associated with terrorism, which could mean you are an Arab- American and you’ve sent e-mails to a relative in the Middle East, you should get your day in court, and I think you should get a lawyer and a trial, and I think most Americans agree to that.
Rand Paul
When you couple this militarization of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury-national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture-we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands.
Rand Paul
I will not vote to send my sons, or your sons, daughters, brothers, sisters or friends to fight for a stalemate.
Rand Paul
I think Saudi Arabia often finances radical Islam and the teaching of hatred to the West and hatred of Americans. I think it is important that we know that. It’s important that we know that there is a threat within and a threat without. I think we can stop it with more aggressive use of actual constitutional tools.
Rand Paul
After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?
Rand Paul
Rand Paul Quotes on Women/Rights
I think women have come a long way. Women are in positions not because they’re women, they’re in positions because they’re intelligent and they should be equal to their counterparts and treated equally.
Rand Paul
I will speak until I can no longer speak. I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.
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.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.

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.

We live in a world, a medieval type of world, where someone can accuse you – through gossip and hearsay, and all of a sudden you’re supposed to respond to specific charges from people you don’t know, are not aware of who these people are, and you’re supposed to respond to their specific allegations?
Rand Paul
Well, I think a handshake is something that honorable men do. Before we had contracts we had handshakes that expressed that we were making an arrangement that was based on our honor. And I don’t think I can shake the hand of someone who shows and lacks honor by attacking a man’s faith.

Rand Paul
If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
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.
Rand Paul
I ran for office originally as part of this Tea Party Movement because we were upset with Republicans who’ve doubled the debt. We were upset with Republicans that bailed out the banks.
Rand Paul
Should it be prohibited for private entities such as a church, bed-and-breakfast or retirement neighborhood that doesn’t want noisy children? Absolutely not. Decisions concerning private property and associations should in a free society be unhindered.
