The president recently weighed in on marriage, and you know he said his views were evolving on marriage. Call me cynical, but I wasn't sure his views on marriage could get any gayer. Now, it did kind of bother me though, that he used the justification for it in a Biblical reference. He said the Biblical golden rule caused him to be for gay marriage. And I'm like, what version of the Bible is he reading? It's not the King James Version, it's not the New American Standard Version, it's not the New Revised version; I don't know what version he's getting that from. (Rand Paul)
the battle for liberty happens at all levels, federal, state and local My friend Glenn Jacobs not only made a name for himself in the world of WWE, but for years has labored as a community activist eager to bring more freedom and prosperity to as many people as possible. his small government and pro-liberty philosophy of government – on education, the economy, regulation, taxes and more – is exactly what we need more of in our politics It's why I think Glenn would be an excellent choice for mayor of Knox County.

I wanna read just one, slight sentence from the presidential oath. "...and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Mister Bush did not keep his oath when he swore to the American people. Mister Obama has not keep his oath when he swore to the American people. But the man I'm gonna introduce now, if given that chance, will keep his word to the American people, and that is the Senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul.
Rand Paul
I was a little bit skeptical based on some things I've heard and I've seen from other Republicans. I wanted someone to pick up on that Jack Kemp model and I wanted him to understand that it's the justice issues, or the injustice, that keep black people from voting Republican. He has listened and learned and has been able to take on things that most Republicans would be afraid of.
