QUOTES OF THE DAY 4-16-13

“Demanding domestic security in times of war invites carelessness in preserving civil liberties and the right of privacy. Frequently the people are only too anxious for their freedoms to be sacrificed on the altar of authoritarianism thought to be necessary to remain safe and secure. Nothing would please the terrorists more than if we willingly give up some of our cherished liberties while defending ourselves from their threat.”

Ron Paul

“It is not we non-interventionists who are isolationists. The real isolationists are those who impose sanctions and embargoes on countries and peoples across the globe because they disagree with the internal and foreign policies of their leaders. The real isolationists are those who choose to use force overseas to promote democracy, rather than seek change through diplomacy, engagement, and by setting a positive example.”

Ron Paul

“The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people.”

Ron Paul

“Our foolish policy in Iraq invites terrorist attacks against U.S. territory and incites the Islamic fundamentalists against us.”

Ron Paul

Ron Paul has lots of quotes. One of which goes something like this in regards to the Chris Kyle Murder, "When you live by the sword, you die by the sword." I have zero respect for Ron Paul.

What did Ron Paul say that wasn't the truth? Chris Kyle did our nation a great service, but the quote is accurate. And fitting. He DID live by the sword. Read his book. He LOVED the sword. Ron Paul speaks the truth. It's uncomfortable to many people and many don't want to hear it, but try to refute what he says and you'll be lost. His main points are that the USA shouldn't be going to every nation on Earth with guns in hand and the government should be VERY limited in power and scope. And the problem is what??

I agree with Imclain. Paul wasn't being spiteful or suggesting Kyle deserved to die.
