In closing, he picked up on the prevailing hashtag that took over Twitter on the day of his filibuster, #StandWithRand. “I will stand for our prosperity and our freedom, and I ask everyone who values liberty to stand with me,” the Kentucky Senator said.

How about not one penny to countries whose soldiers shoot ours in the back? That would defund Irag and Afghanistan right there.

Countries don’t burn flags, as such. Radicals with rent-a-mobs burn flags, and it is hard to tell if they have government sponsorship, or not.

Remember the Iran hostage crisis? The Iranian government clearly sponsored it, but was adamant that they were not. And this is a common enough trick pulled by nations that want “plausible deniability” from international condemnation.

In the case of Iran it was obvious. In most cases it is not.

Iran, in particular, takes it to its logical extreme, by having many individuals announce radically different things, and those that are slapped down are denounced as not giving “authorized” statements. This allows them to speak out of both sides of their mouth.

Not a penny to any country. No where in our founding documents does it even imply the king shall tax its citizens and give their treasure to foreign kings.

RE: Not One Penny To Countries That Burn Our Flag ,

The only problem I see with that is this — the GOVERNMENTS of these countries can always say that it is not them who are burning the flag, it’s their CITIZENS, and they can’t control that without banning the “Freedom of Speech” that we Americans value.

SO! Let’s send one of our own, home-grown leftists to each country in the world equipped with a flag, lighter fluid and a book of matches. Presto! No more foreign aid!
