Default Dr. Rand Paul at Bowling Green KY Tea Party 4-15-09

I like what Dr. Rand Paul had to say at the beginning of his speech at Bowling Green.

"About 200 years ago Samuel Adams and a bunch of rabble rousers threw some tea in Boston Harbor. They were quite mad about a few things and Sam Adams famously said:

Quote:
"It doesn't take a majority to prevail, but it takes an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in the minds of men."
If you watch Keith Olbermann he says, 'Oh just a bunch of stooges for Fox News.' Or they say, 'Oh just a bunch of shills for the Republican Party.'

I'm not out here representing Fox News, I'm not out here representing the Republican Party.

I'm out here because I'm unhappy because 'our government' is spending us into oblivion.

We need to acknowledge that there's enough blame and it's bi-partisan blame. (continues on about bailouts and deficits)

There's enough blame to go all around.

We need new people in Washington We need people who have believability.

We should acknowledge that we are paying more in taxes now than food clothing and housing combined. The number one item in your family budget is not your food and your housing or your rent, it's your taxes; that's a mistake.

There will be dire consequences.

We are in danger of becoming a Banana Republic."


His inspiring speech...continues.

"Let's change what we've got before it's too late."
