Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul earned a standing ovation at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday, with members of the conservative activist crowd chanting President Paul at one point.
Paul made clear overtures to a presidential run. The video of his speech is below. Here are some highlights:
Your rights are in your DNA and the government, quite frankly, can get over it.
I say that your phone records are yours! I say that the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business.
Hillarys war made us less safe. As Hillary was declaring victory in Libya, Ambassador Stevens was begging for more security. I believe that Hillary Clintons abdication of responsibility, her refusal to provide an adequate defense for Benghazi, her dereliction of duty, should forever preclude her from higher office. Its time for Hillary Clinton to permanently retire.
Without question, we must now defend ourselves, and American interests, from this barbarous aberration [ISIS]. But it troubles me that we must now fight against our own weapons.
I say not one penny more to these haters of America. - On foreign aid to countries where the American flag is burned
I propose something truly outrageous. Congress should read every bill. Congress should also live under the laws they pass.
Its time for a new president.
Will you vote for freedom?

“surrender via fived voting”
meant surrender via fixed voting.
Also, 100% unacceptable to accept this AG nominee.
Whatever... LOL!
You have been busted! Absolutely pathetic.
So were were you prior to 3 days ago on posts? I think I saw one or two posts a year. LOL!
Listen Troll... I know you were hoping no one checks you out like I did.... You better look for a more active accounts.
You obviously fear Paul or you would not have taken the time to hijack an unused Freeper account to say something.
Too funny. Thanks for making my day. LOL!
Yeah I know about Son of Paul there are some Freepers that don’t like Paul and that’s okay with me.
I’m undecided at the moment, and will not decided until probably a month prior to the election.
Nevertheless, since I heard a good refreshing speech, then I though it worth the post.
It’s only the hijacked accounts I have an issue with.
Agree 100% with your statement.
I wish it was a small issue that I disagree with him on instead of a large issue.
nothing wrong with what you did or your thoughts on Rand. But do yourself a favor and research his Ferguson Pandering. To me, it was unforgiveable, and as I posted earlier, I thought highly of Rand prior to his sellout.
I think maybe you are looking at the article history, not the posting history.
Well, the Paul troll has uncovered that we are all just sleeper accounts that go years without posting, I wonder if he has checked your posting history?
I wonder if he has checked his own?
Hear what you say about the two options.
What I fear most is just the gradual warming water of rules, regs, fees, taxes, lawsuits, confiscations, condemnations.
Hard to fight if they are winning one child, one neighborhood, grabbing one bank account or seizing one head of household at a time.
Statism is slow death until they have already won. Then they hook up the cattle cars and begin to work fast.
It’s pretty early in the day to be drinking.
Enlightened1, a quick glance at Ansel’s history will show you he has been posting steadily. Why are you lying?
” Bused in a bunch of nutcases, did he?”
LOL ....so did Jeb.
LDS is alive and well today. (libertarian derangement syndrome)
” Son Of Paul is no conservative.”
End of story.
The mark of character! /S
Mental patients are on occasion seemingly lucid.
They are still locked up in the mental hospital though.
: )
“Hard to fight if they are winning one child, one neighborhood, grabbing one bank account or seizing one head of household at a time.”
EVERYONE on FR, the above FW posted is the slow War that is destroying the USA and most of Europe.
But I will add Whitey, they sure have been using heavier “throttle” the last 10 years to destroy this Country. And with the internet, there is no longer an excuse to not know what is happening, why its happening and who is responsible.
This isn’t the 70s, 80s and 90s where a guy could only get news from the propagandized newspapers, local TV news and the three networks weekdays at 5:30 PM.
“PRESIDENT PAUL: Rand Paul Gets Standing Ovation At CPAC”
No wonder the conservatives are all f’d up!
He signs up and makes a token post, and then doesn't post for almost a year, and then posts a thread and is off and running.
I wonder if this is enlightened's first account?
Sad to see so many emulating the Left: attack the messenger, disregard the message (and he IS on message).
He’ll at least argue from his own convictions, not some mushy, finger-in-the-wind pandering.
Is anyone else (yeah, Cruz) talking restoring Freedom, restoring the Republic? Hell, I’m waiting for the others to even HINT at the Constitution.
For all his ‘looney’, IMHO, he’s one whom is willing to change his mind, if the debate is persuasive enough.
