Rand Paul Says America Needs A "Spiritual Cleansing"
CBN News ^ | 04/10/2013 | David Brody

Posted on 04/10/2013 8:16:17 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Senator Rand Paul says America needs a, “spiritual cleansing of the people” and explains that “salvation” doesn’t come through elected leaders.

The Brody File spent a couple days with Rand Paul and his family down in Kentucky. Rand Paul’s wife (Kelley Paul) sat for the interview as well at their home in Bowling Green Kentucky.

The national profile on him (including an interview with his wife) will air on The 700 Club Thursday. We are releasing some clips ahead of the interview. We will also release more clips on Thursday. Much of this material is NOT in the final 700 Club piece.

Also, watch our Brody File show this week where we devote the entire thirty minutes to our Rand Paul coverage. Watch here.

Senator Rand Paul: “I think it’s important that people know that for the country to get better it needs more than just politicians. Politicians aren’t enough and it needs resurgence through churches, through revivals through a spiritual cleansing of the people."

Senator Rand Paul: “Changing a particular law is not going to make us a better people but that comes from the people themselves.”

Senator Rand Paul: “I don’t want people to think that salvation comes through elected leaders. It doesn’t.”

Senator Rand Paul:  “What’s the number one cause of poverty in America? It’s having kids before you’re married. Can you have a law to prevent that? I don't think any law even if you did have a law couldn't prevent it from happening. We have to convince kids that it's a big huge mistake not only from a religious point of view but from an economic point of view that it's not a good idea to have kids before you're married. The hard part is then people say you’re harsh and you’re against single moms. Well, I’m not against single moms. I just want to talk to them before they become the single mom. I want to talk to them when they’re 17 years old and convince them wait, get married and your life will be better and it’s a better way to do things.”

Senator Rand Paul: "People say you shouldn't talk about moral issues. Well, I think there are moral issues that no law will be able to fix but there's no reason why a political leader can't also have some impact in moral issues that really the law may not be able to fix but maybe by me saying that the marriage unit, the marriage unit, the family unit is an important structure, it's been with us for thousands of years and we shouldn't give up on that."

Praise the Lord! Seems like we need to take out everyone of them, with a few exceptions.

Morality is the main (if not only) reason for Laws and government. Without “Justice” a government is totally evil and dysfunctional. Justice is a Virtue. Virtues are a standard of “morality”. Virtue determined what is “good and evil” since the Nicomachean Ethics.

Socrates stated that the only reason for education is to teach Virtue. Justice is the Queen of Virtues-—that is ALL about morality!!!!

Cultural Marxists target Virtues-—destroy it. Machiavelli even stated that without Virtue, you can not have a Free Republic or an effective military.

That is why sodomy is forced into the military by the Satanist zero-—to destroy Virtue—promoting Vice will destroy the military-—they will become like the Nazi homosexual Brownshirts—Brutal immature, evil people will drive out, intimidate the “good”—people who won’t join in their orgies. And they use boys in those orgies-—like Sugar Keynes at Harvard (the darling of the Left who bragged about castrating boys in 3rd world countries and advised his elite friends at Harvard and other elite institutions where to find boys at Eton or whereever for their orgies. This is a sick mind which designed the economic system which collapsed England and is taught in all our universities probably all sodomites.

(Why the push to normalize anal sex in all books and movies/tv (Glee)—”shades of grey”-—and this intimidation of any company that doesn’t go along with their evil agenda-—so little boys will be corrupted by sick concepts that should never occur to them unless they are sexually abused. They want the control over the minds of your little boys-—like Jerry Brown has-—to normalize sodomy in our culture).

It really makes me mad that Lawmakers don’t even realize the Marxist thinking which states “you can’t legislate morality!” We DO IT ALL THE TIME with murder laws (from 10 Commandments).

We built Western CIvilization since Cicero—on ideas of Universal Truths (morality of Natural Law Theory).

FIXED NATURAL LAWS are part of our Constitution. Universal Truths are part of our Supreme Law of the land. The Marxist’s judges are removing God and removing morality from children=-—it is Cultural Marxism to sexualize young children to destroy morality concerning the sex act-—to destroy the culture. Releasing sex from morality-—which homosexual “marriage” does-—there is no Right and Wrong way to use the sex organ-—you remove Natural Laws, Rule of Law , and God.

We will collapse if “homosexual” marriage is normalized for children. We will be sick and warped-—our children who grow up and “see” this which shapes all their worldview-—and normalizes the behavior-—like the little warped boys in harems in Afghanistan.

Evil Marxists, sodomites-—like the Fr. Oko report explains-—they are Fascists/totalitarians/Marxists and they want your little boys to be warped, so they are easy prey when they turn 12. The age of consent will be lowered-—we will have Nero’s lifestyle normalized (he castrated a boy and “married” him). Sick warped people (homosexuals who “think” their “lifestyle” is “normal” are irrational and evil—they are immature-—fixated and addicted to base instincts—controlled by their lust—never Reason/Intellect.

You CANNOT legislate morality. You can legislate morally, however. As in character does matter and no one, I mean, NO ONE is above the law.

" I guarantee you if Rand Paul had been in the senate during the repeal vote of DADT he would have voted to lift the ban on sodomites openly serving in the US Armed Forces."

Are you proclaiming to be a mind reader? a "teller of the future"? A "medium"?

If your answer is no, they why would you proclaim such a thing?

Splitting hairs. Six of one - half dozen of another. A fine distinction. Same difference.

Point is - we have tons of immoral laws on the books. And our economy reflects our stupid moral choices. Only way out is to revoke immoral laws and replace them with Godly, moral and Constitutional laws.

The reason the government can never become “moral” is that the bureaucracy - through and through - is leftist. There is no morality there.

You could have God himself elected president and the bureaucrats would never budge from their lefty agenda.

This is why the most important thing is to starve the “beast government” down to size. Which is why I only vote for those who will put the screws to government - in all its forms. We should only worry about being moral on a personal level - it is clear that a moral politician (which is an oxymoron) can ever reign in this monster we have all had a hand in creating.

Starve the beast - and if Rand Paul is for starving the FedGov, I’m for him.

And he has the weird libertarian views like legalizing drugs

What's weird is hyperinflating drug profits and channeling those profits into criminal hands, which is all the War on Drugs can be shown to be accomplishing.

But his example of passing a law preventing people from having kids before marriage misses the obvious.

Why not repeal laws that promote and encourage these welfare babies?

I'd be stunned to learn that Rand Paul doesn't support that repeal.

“America needs a, “spiritual cleansing of the people” .

Will only happen after a national calamity that brings much death, hellfire and brimstone.

Agreed. He says some great things if you don’t listen too closely. That’s why I say he’s right about needing a spiritual cleansing and leave it at that.

Then why is he for homosexual marriage?

I’d settle for just Congress at this point.

From Rand Paul's official Web site:

"The U.S. welfare system sure creates some crazy disincentives to working your way up the ladder. Benefits stacked upon benefits can mean it is financially better, at least in the short term, to stay at a lower-paying jobs rather than taking a higher paying job and losing those benefits."
