@ahwatdahec A brief study of U.S. intervention over the previous several decades will reveal that the U.S. hardly ever has humanitarian motivations (as proven by what occurs in said interventions), and yet they almost always CLAIM that the intentions are humanitarian. Clearly you have swallowed wholesale the utter bullshit you have been spoon-fed from the official sources. Unfortunate but expected.
Looks like the first part of the list didnt go through. Here it is again, the rest of the powers congress has over our military that the president does not.
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
A primary function of the 16th Amendment was to fund wars. They even admit that in our sub par schooling.
Also, you are an idiot if you think the constitution gives the president to declare war. The constitution gives that power to only to congress, not the president. Learn to read the most important document in the country.
The federal income tax code was originally created during WWII to fund the war and was supposed to expire after a period of peace. So the U.S. has had to go to war every few years ever since in order to prevent the income tax code from expiring.

Excuse me! That is what dictators do. The military is not a humanitarian body. It is there to protect and defend the Constitution. If this President can wave his hand and have the military go to war, what else can he do. There are checks and balances: like 535 Congressman and Senators. This is an atrocity.
I fear we are in deep trouble as a nation, why? Because our constitutional understandings have been bread out of us. We are an ignorant people when it comes to the principles of freedom. Washington, Adams, and Jefferson all cautioned against entangling America back into centuries old reasons why humanity fled Europe in the first place. America has come full circle; we are back in the crap.
I fear we are in deep trouble as a so called free nation. I fear America is under attack, and it’s not from a foreign military evasion! I feel this invasion we fear; is here and now, and it’s deeply seeded within our communities, our Domestic affairs, our governing bodies, and our supreme courts of our land.
America is being infiltrated by those who support the One World Order.It’s not about America anymore,it’s about dismantling America.Our Government,and the Governments of the world,are being controlled, and directed by an extremely wealthy and powerful few.Their goal is to control our arm forces,our natural resources,the executive,legislative,money,and judicial aspects of our government.Policies are being instituted,for the collapse of America.The reign of thieves is alive & well with in America.
Rawk On, Rand!!! You keep bein' that fly in the ointment by flappin' that US Constitution in Congress faces! Without that precious document as our guide we are no different than other nations. Unfortunately, what we've seen happening steadily over the last 100 years in the U.S.A. has made us more like Europe, etc.,
1:31 Rand Paul nailed it. Obama the candidate and Obama the President are polar opposites. He compromised on his word and dignity. He may not be the dumbest or the most evil, but he is one of the very very weakest and easily bought out we have ever had. He sold his soul for the job.
@dave97202 Actually, probably a bad idea come to think of it. Seems Huckabee and Romney are both pushing for a McCain ticket. I have high respect for veterans as I'm a military brat, however we cannot occupy foreign soil any longer. Ron Paul has always been correct that the Republican platform used to consider war as a last resort. A wide-open southern border and this foreign occupation thingy just doesn't jive with me.
@dave97202 Huckabee is a pathetic sellout rhetoric-spouting Neocon tool. How can you say this??? You need to get your head in the game. You can't have one establishment candidate and a tea party favorite in the same administration. More like Ron Paul/Barry Goldwater. Other VP options—Gary Johnson, Chuck Baldwin, Jesse Ventura, Ralph Nader.
Rand Paul is a great speaker. He is a principled man. He is a trustworthy Senator. He is constitutional,moral and highly intelligent. But he lacks the Ron Paul energy to rally his audience to action. He needs to get a little angrier. Speak a little louder and stomp his feet a little bit. Other than that, I have nothing but pride for Rand and the job he is doing.
I am so proud of Rand Paul for standing up, and bring attention to Obama's hypocrisy. Obama is just another errand boy— from a long list of errand boys—who are serving The One World Order, the cronies called The United Nations, and the Progressive’s here in America, whose mind sets serve the Globalist, and secret societies who are controlling Governments around the world. Obama’s statements and actions prove this true—total disregard for our America.
@Clint45s You had me until you started going off into silly, paranoid conspiracy theories. Obama is a terrible president but I'm afraid he's terrible in his own right, without anybody else's help.
Thank you for taking an intrest in what I had to say, but i have to say..I fear we are in deep, serious trouble as a nation,why? Because our constitutional understandings have been bread out of us. We are an ignorant people when it comes to the principles of freedom. Washington, Adams, and Jefferson all cautioned against entangling America back into centuries old reasons why humanity fled Europe in the first place. America has come full circle. America has been sold out,about 150ys Nw
It is becoming so obvious, that our Politicians are serving two masters—President Obama got approval from the Emerits, the United Nations, Nato, Everyone associated with the world order—except the most import group he should have consulted—Use, the United States Congress of This America!!!
And this, from a president who as a candidate was proudly supported by those who cited his creds as a constitutional scholar. Now in his defense, these same folk would call his remarks "just words."
@dave97202 Yeah, I'm not really sure if Ron Paul would want to inherit such a daunting task. I still love the man for all of his years of dedication to the people. He is an American legend IMO.
Romney, another machine ticket, just won't do. Let's hope Rand Paul can/will run in 2012!
WOW! Excellent Speech!!! A True American. Thank you so much Senator Rand Paul for so eloquently bringing the Truth to Light and for upholding the Constitution to the United States. I give your speech a standing ovation!

@katnap72 He would make a good president but unfortunately he's a rather bland, monotone speaker who flubs his words sometimes. That would be an impediment to his being elected.
Beyond the impressive and coherent points made. What is equally impressive, is the fact that he only refers to his notes occasionally or to read quotations. When you speak the truth from your heart, there is no need for a teleprompter.

@advieau Yes, Res. 85 did pass unanimously. However, its purpose was to condemn "the gross and systematic violations of human rights in Libya, including violent attacks on protesters demanding democratic reforms, and for other purposes."
What you are quoting is a small portion saying the US urges the *UN* to take further action, potentially incl a no fly zone. It is not Congress authorizing US military action, especially not to our current level of involvement.
It sure would be nice if the rest of the Senate was as honest was Paul.
It would also be nice if all these folks complaining about S.Res 85 actually read it and knew what a simple senate resolution is. Simple resolutions are merely stated opinions of the body--not legal action. An "opinion" that condemns Qaddafi and urges the UN to get something in motion is not congressional approval for the president to bomb Libya.
@deficithawker Nice try moron. Maybe you should actually READ the resolution. It can be found on thomas dot gov. It URGES the UNITED NATIONS to take action AS MAY BE NECESSARY including POSSIBLE imposition of a no-fly zone. Urging the UNITED NATIONS to do something, is not the same as AUTHORIZING THE U.S. MILITARY to take action. Obama isn't the united nations. Just because you wanna suck him off, doesn't mean the rest of us worship him.
I am all for protesting both on Capital hill and in front of the white house for Obama's dismissal from office. I will drive from Kentucky to participate for impeachment. How any Democrats can still support this hypocritical president is just simply pathetic. Without balls. Catering to a world audience while ignoring your own people. You know Egypts own military turned on its old president. Nothing here says that the same can't happen here. Not advocating violence at all, just saying.
I'll admit I'm disappointed by Obama, yet if you think either Ron or Rand Paul would solve all our problem then you got to ask yourself... Are they asking for real change or all talk?
You could eliminate all discretionary spending (education, EPA, USDA etc.) and we would still run a deficit. The real problem is Medicare, Bush tax cuts, military spending and social security. You didn't see either Paul say no to the tax cuts.
@dragonmaster2guy You haven't listened to them enough then. They have both covered these issues extensively. They have both offered up viable solution's to all of those topic's that you listed.
The Pauls want to BRING THE TROOPS HOME from Iraq, Afganistan, Japan, Korea, Germany, and the rest of the planet. That alone would save half a trillion!
@dragonmaster2guy You don't pay for tax cuts. Tax cuts don't contribute to the deficit, spending does. Tax cut is a reduction in revenue, not an increase in spending. Also, many qualified economists, people with masters and PHDs, more than you likely have on the subject, argue that tax cuts actually cause increased revenue, because companies hire more people, and those people can spend money, as well as pay taxes. One person pays less taxes so many can pay more.

@dragonmaster2guy I think the better question is, are they really in control? The President is just there to sell you what the men behind the curtain are selling.
@dragonmaster2guy You should take the time to look at the visual version of Obama's budget. If you were to do so, you would see that the largest amt of spending goes to social security, medicare/medicaid, national defense, and gvt assistance (welfare etc). The Pauls would solve our budgetary problems b/c they are committed to cutting back all of these things. Do your research. Also tax cuts are not spending. Why not just spend 2x as much and up the tax rate to 50%? Eyeroll.
@deficithawker So sad you have to resort to such pathetic crass responses, but Rand wasn't even there to object to anything. From the C-SPAN coverage, it took all of 40 seconds to "pass" Resolution 85 without Rand's consent or vote, and there was no debate on it. None. Exactly what he mentions in this video. All it had was 10 cosponsors, one of which was your good liberal buddy Chuck Schumer. Try turning off the MSNBC once in a while, their kool-aid is ruining your juvenile mind.
@deficithawker No, you're the dumb ass for not responding to me in the other video when I called you out on this same lie you're spreading. There was no vote, it was shoved through without debate or official vote by means of "unanimous consent" which is a misnomer because Rand did not approve the resolution in person. FFS, you damn troll, the man wasn't even in D.C. when the resolution passed! Go the f*ck away you piece of human trash!
This what empire building looks like. The voice of the people are never heard and those that are to represent them are also never heard nor consulted.
The very fact that our Congress isn't holding press conferences and screaming "tyranny" at the top of their lungs, proves once again that they do not represent We The People but rather, The Military Industrial Banking Complex who always loves a good war at our expense with loans that will require been paid-back decades after the war is over.
So is congress going to breach their oath to defend and uphold the constitution by not taking proper action on this unconstitutional breach by the president or are they going to uphold their oath and begin impeachment proceedings? $600 million in public debt created already. You do realize you can be held personally liable and 14th amendment bounty can be put against you all to repay this public debt you all created? All your assets can be taken to repay this and you lose any immunity over this!
As I did before Iraq, I have much doubt about our involvement in Libya. I want to hear rational congressional PsOV. I want to hear what the president has to say in response to Sen. Paul.
On March 1st the U.S. Senate passed a resolution (S.Res.85) by UNANIMOUS CONSENT regarding Libya requesting the UN to impose a No Fly Zone in Libya. Rand Paul did NOT object to the resolution. Rand Paul is a hypocrite and liar.
The Senate unanimously passing a resolution requesting the U.N. to impose a no-fly zone means the U.S. *ASKS* the U.N. to impose a no-fly zone.
Where does it clearly state that it authorizes the President to participate in the conflict and to send U.S. troops?
The U.S., while it is a member, *IS NOT* the U.N.; Congress still must decide whether or not it'll commit U.S. resources and personnel to the U.N. effort to impose a no-fly zone.
So, while Senator Paul may agree with ASKING the U.N. to impose a no-fly zone, agreeing to ask the U.N. to take action is not the same as asking the U.S. President to commit resources in the conflict.
You are out of line to call Senator Paul a "hypocrite and liar."
@advieau And your point is? It says nothing about granting power to the president to send our troops over there and get involved with this. The president MUST bring it before congress and obtain permission of congress first, period!
@advieau They didn't establish anything anything. They urged the United Nations Security Council to take such further action as may be necessary to protect civilians in Libya from attack, including the possible imposition of a no-fly zone over Libyan territory. UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL to take action. NOT Obummer to take us to war!
@advieau I don't believe that members of Congress read that provision as giving their authorization for the use of military force based on a hypothetical conclusion that may or may not be reached by the UN Security Council.
"I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay"- Barrak Obama '09
2 other of Obama's false promises
Ban Torture and close Guantanamo Bay
End war in Iraq within 16 months
Obama continues WARS with Iraq and Afghanistan and has increased the drone attacks on Pakistan- look up the civilian death toll for drone attacks on Pakistan-
now Libya, then tally the bill and tell me we need to cut more teachers.
If Congress cedes war making authority to Obama, and makes him essentially the King of America, the they are in violation of their oath of office. Time to impeach and recall. Else we become lawless.

America is being infiltrated by those who support the One World Order.It’s not about America anymore,it’s about dismantling America.Our Government,and the Governments of the world,are being controlled, and directed by an extremely wealthy and powerful few.Their goal is to control our arm forces,our natural resources,the executive,legislative,money,and judicial aspects of our government.Policies are being instituted,for the collapse of America.The reign of thieves is alive & well with in America.

1:31 Rand Paul nailed it. Obama the candidate and Obama the President are polar opposites. He compromised on his word and dignity. He may not be the dumbest or the most evil, but he is one of the very very weakest and easily bought out we have ever had. He sold his soul for the job.

@dave97202 Actually, probably a bad idea come to think of it. Seems Huckabee and Romney are both pushing for a McCain ticket. I have high respect for veterans as I'm a military brat, however we cannot occupy foreign soil any longer. Ron Paul has always been correct that the Republican platform used to consider war as a last resort. A wide-open southern border and this foreign occupation thingy just doesn't jive with me.

@advieau Yes, Res. 85 did pass unanimously. However, its purpose was to condemn "the gross and systematic violations of human rights in Libya, including violent attacks on protesters demanding democratic reforms, and for other purposes."
What you are quoting is a small portion saying the US urges the *UN* to take further action, potentially incl a no fly zone. It is not Congress authorizing US military action, especially not to our current level of involvement.
pciswrong 11 months ago
It sure would be nice if the rest of the Senate was as honest was Paul.
It would also be nice if all these folks complaining about S.Res 85 actually read it and knew what a simple senate resolution is. Simple resolutions are merely stated opinions of the body--not legal action. An "opinion" that condemns Qaddafi and urges the UN to get something in motion is not congressional approval for the president to bomb Libya.

@dragonmaster2guy You don't pay for tax cuts. Tax cuts don't contribute to the deficit, spending does. Tax cut is a reduction in revenue, not an increase in spending. Also, many qualified economists, people with masters and PHDs, more than you likely have on the subject, argue that tax cuts actually cause increased revenue, because companies hire more people, and those people can spend money, as well as pay taxes. One person pays less taxes so many can pay more.

The Pauls would solve our budgetary problems b/c they are committed to cutting back all of these things. Do your research. Also tax cuts are not spending. Why not just spend 2x as much and up the tax rate to 50%? Eyeroll.

The Senate unanimously passing a resolution requesting the U.N. to impose a no-fly zone means the U.S. *ASKS* the U.N. to impose a no-fly zone.
Where does it clearly state that it authorizes the President to participate in the conflict and to send U.S. troops?
The U.S., while it is a member, *IS NOT* the U.N.; Congress still must decide whether or not it'll commit U.S. resources and personnel to the U.N. effort to impose a no-fly zone.
That's why it counts to be specific.
