Thank you Senator Paul.
Sen. Rand Paul had to do eye surgery on the Haitians after the Clintons robbed them blind.
The Clintons, through their foundation, steal millions that was intended to help Haitians in need.
Who are the real racists here?
Let's put the focus on the real news here.
“It is unfair to draw conclusions from a remark that I think wasn’t constructive...”
Hey, Rand, you’re ignoring the fact that Trump has repeatedly denied making the remark in the first place.
That said, Rand Paul is right, too. This one slip into vulgarity was, at the same time, a truth breakthrough, which is to say, there are places where 90% of the populace is living in wretched, busted-down-outhouse conditions, but the simple fact that they are wretched doesn't mean they can all move here.
We can't employ them all. We can't re-house them all. We can't educate them all. Frankly, we're doing a **it-poor job educating our own.
Trump is not a racist, as RonPaul convincingly points out. But he ought to express his argument in such a way that he doesn't seem like an Andrew Dice Clay trying to push out the Overton Window on imbecilic language.
President Trump has done a lot of good things before after after getting elected, but that doesn’t fit the MSM’s narrative.
In June 2016, Trump stated: "Yet today, 240 years after the Revolution, we have turned things completely upside-down." - Donald Trump“Until the people have, by some solemn and authoritative act, annulled or changed the established form, it is binding upon them collectively, as well as individually; and no presumption or even knowledge of their sentiments, can warrant their representatives [the executive, judiciary, or legislature]; in a departure from it prior to such an act.” – Alexander Hamilton
And it's not just about jobs and economic opportunity. It's about freedom, exercise of "Creator-endowed rights and liberties," and opportunity for each citizen, not just self-appointed elitists who fancy themselves as entitled to make decisions for all.
Thomas Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman on June 24, 1826:
" I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them."Now, let's see, the same people who failed "We, the People" by not defending our rights of conscience from the dictates and censorship, regulation, redistribution and debt of "progressives" and their imperial president--these same people (Ryan, Boehner, McConnell, et al) whose failure to deny funding and halt those intrusions into our liberty, and aroused "the People" to vote for Candidate Trump, are left with the task of supporting Trump's agenda--an agenda whose results already have been amazing.Some time ago, I posted the following:
"Perhaps the so-called "progressive" enemies of freedom understand better than those who fancy themselves as "conservatives" that in order to reverse the Founders' ideas of "People over government," and institute "government over People," they must first marginalize and destroy the ideas from which liberty is derived.
The writings of America's Founders are replete with references which rebuke would-be tyrants and cite a Higher Source for life, liberty and rights. Early histories confirm those facts.
As so-called "progressives" have led a movement in forsaking the Founders' "reliance on Divine Providence," and belief that individuals are "endowed by their Creator," they also have forsaken the principles underlying America's Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and are systematically dismantling the greatest protections for liberty ever established for a people.
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that other world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
No wonder the First President of this Republic issued a grave warning for future generations on the "dangers" of the "spirit of Party"!
