Rand Paul’s Really Excellent Week

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was showing up at all the right places this past week – and saying all the Right things:
 
Wednesday, Jan. 23rd ~ Harassing Hillary Clinton at the Benghazi hearing
 
Wednesday, Jan. 24th ~ Questioning John Kerry at his Senate confirmation (Secy of State) hearing: Sen. Kerry Grilled By Rand Paul
Everyone knows that Lurch Kerry is going to get a pass from the poltroons in Congress, but at least Sen. Paul had the brass to question him about his past support of the past unauthorized attacks by America, his views on what the Constitution allows for military policy and his support for unilateral interventions by America.
 

Why is Paul the only senator who seems to understand that the purpose
of congressional hearings is to get answers and hold people accountable
– not kiss butts?!

 
Wednesday, Jan. 25th ~ Speaking at the 40th annual March for Life on the National Mall in D.C.

“Can a nation long endure that does not respect the sanctity of life?” Paul asked. “Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens? Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our creator?
 
“I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass,” he said. “Our nation is adrift, adrift in a wilderness where right and wrong have become subservient to a hedonism of the moment.
 
“I believe our country is in need of a revival,” Paul continued. “I believe our country is in need of a spiritual cleansing.
 
“We march today for change, but change will only come when we begin to change attitudes. We must preach a gospel so full of compassion, a gospel so full of justice that it cannot be resisted.”

Thank-you Senator Paul. In a Congress full of sycophants, liars and buffoons, and in a political party currently suffering a dearth of sanity, faith and courage, you give me reason to have hope for the future.
