country hate people
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.
home gun people
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.
suffering liberty complacency
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.
war lessons abiding
The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.
children school color
Every child in every neighborhood, of every color, class and background, deserves a school that will help them succeed.
crazy ideas people
We had people coming to our Foreign Relations Committee and saying, "Oh, we need to arm the allies of Al Qaida." They are still saying this. It is a crazy notion. This is the biggest debate we should be having is is regime change a good idea; has it been a good idea.
government liberty way
For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.
couple hands law
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.
government citizens politics
The Constitution was not written to restrain the citizen's behavior, it was writtne to restrain the government's behavior.
thinking government racism
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.
running country government
I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.
dream taken ifs
If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
government evil constitution
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.
running children believe
America's not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.
