Dr. Rand Paul on National Defense Video
The primary Constitutional function of the federal government is national defense, bar none.
We need a national defense robust enough to defend against all attacks, modern enough to deter all enemies, and nimble enough to defend our vital interests.
Our freedom is threatened from outside our borders. We must protect ourselves against jihadists without losing who we are as a people in the process.
It angers me to see mobs burning our flag and chanting ‘death to America’ in countries that receive our foreign aid. That must end ---not one penny more should go to these haters of America.
Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in peace through strength.
