I fixed all the videos that lapsed in this thread.

I'm going to ask Gnik Drazil about this, because it's starting to get pretty frustrating.

Campaign For Liberty: Senator Rand Paul Responds to Obama on Libya

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Sen. Rand Paul issued the following statement regarding President Obama's mishandling of the situation in Libya.

"The Obama Administration has failed miserably in its attempt to justify their unconstitutional war in Libya. Their attempt yesterday to convince Congress that we are in fact not engaged in hostilities was breathtaking in its implications for both Libya and for future presidential war authority.

"The argument that our military is not engaged in hostilities because the Libyan military is unable to effectively retaliate has two major problems. First, according to the Administration's report, attacking Libyan air defense is one of the primary roles our military is playing. Of course they aren't shooting back well, we blew up their air defense system.

"If you take the Administration's logic to its natural, if extreme-sounding, conclusion, the bigger problem is this: Under their logic, the President could attack a country, even with nuclear weapons, and not consider it to be a war needing Congressional approval if the country is unable to retaliate. This policy completely violates his constitutional authority. It also sends a dangerous signal to rogue nations and schoolyard bullies alike: If we hit you hard enough that you can't hit back, it doesn't count as an attack."

Open Letter: Why I Oppose the Debt Ceiling Compromise Rand Paul | United States Senator

Open Letter: Why I Oppose the Debt Ceiling Compromise

Aug 1, 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today Sen. Rand Paul issued an open letter on the subject of the debt ceiling compromise facing the Senate. Below is that letter.

To paraphrase Jim DeMint: When you're speeding toward the edge of a cliff, you don't set the cruise control. You stop the car.

The current deal to raise the debt ceiling doesn't stop us from going over the fiscal cliff. At best, it slows us from going over it at 80 mph to going over it at 60 mph.

This plan never balances. The President called for a "balanced approach." But the American people are calling for a balanced budget.

This deal does nothing to fix the overreaches of both parties over the past few years: Obamacare, TARP, trillion-dollar wars, runaway entitlement spending. They are all cemented into place with this deal, and their legacy will be trillions of dollars in new debt.

The deal that is pending before us now:

- Adds at least $7 trillion to our debt over the next 10 years. The deal purports to "cut" $2.5 trillion, but the "cut" is from a baseline that adds $10 trillion to the debt. This deal, even if all targets are met and the Super Committee wields its mandate - the BEST case scenario is still $7 trillion more in debt over the next 10 years. That is sickening.

- Never, ever balances.

- The Super Committee's mandate is to add $7 trillion in new debt. Let's be clear: $2.5 trillion in reductions off a nearly $10 trillion,10-year debt is still $7 trillion in debt. The Super Committee limits the Constitutional check of the filibuster by expediting passage of bills with a simple majority. The Super Committee is not precluded from any issue therefore the filibuster could be rendered moot. In addition, the plan harms the possible passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment. Since the goal is never to balance, having the BBA as a "trigger" ensures that the Committee will simply report its $7 trillion in new debt and never move to a BBA vote.

-Cuts too slowly. Even if you believe cutting $2.5 trillion out of $10 trillion is a good compromise, surely we can start cutting quickly, say $200 billion-$300 billion per year, right? Wrong. This plan so badly backloads the alleged savings that the cuts are simply meaningless. Why do we believe that the goal of $2.5 trillion over 10 years (that's an average of $250 billion per year) will EVER be met if the first two years cuts are $20 billion and $50 billion. There is simply no path in this bill even to the meager savings they are alleging will take place.

Buried in the details of this bill there also appears to be the automatic Debt increase as proposed a few weeks ago. Second half of the debt ceiling is increased by President automatically and can only be stopped by two-thirds of Congress. This shifts the Constitutional check on borrowing from Congress to the President and makes it easier to raise the debt ceiling. This would cede debt ceiling to the President, and none of the triggers in this deal include withholding the second limit increase.

Debt agencies have clearly stated the type of so-called cuts envisioned in this plan result in our AAA bond rating being downgraded. Ironically then, the only way to avoid our debt from downgrading and the resulting economic problems that stem from that is for this bill or the resulting Super Committee to fail, so that a Balanced Budget Amendment can save our country.

This plan does not solve our problem. Not even close. I cannot abide the destruction of our economy, therefore I vigorously oppose this deal and I urge my colleagues and the American people to do the same.

Sincerely,

Rand Paul, M.D.
U.S. Senator

Rand's amendment to fund FEMA by cutting foreign aid fails 20-78

Senate Votes on Sen. Paul's Disaster Funding Amendment Rand Paul | United States Senator

Senate Votes on Sen. Paul's Disaster Funding Amendment

Sep 15, 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today Sen. Rand Paul introduced, and the Senate voted on, an amendment to offset funding for federal disaster aid through cuts to foreign spending. The amendment was not agreed to, with a final vote of 20-78.

"Increasing our national debt at a time when our country is in financial dire straits is irresponsible and a dereliction of our responsibility to the American people. By cutting from the coffers that fund overseas welfare and nation-building and injecting that funding into disaster assistance for Americans, we are able to continue disaster assistance commitments to communities without borrowing on the backs of our children and grandchildren," Sen. Paul said.

Senate rejects GOP amendments to Burma-FEMA bill - The Hill's Floor Action

Preceding the second amendment vote, which would defund 10 percent of USAID, Sen. Paul remarked that foreign aid is "opposed by 77 percent of Americans" and that any money given away would be borrowed anyway.

"Even if you thought it was a good idea to give welfare to foreign countries, you don't have it," he said to his colleagues.

In a rebuttal, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) rejected Paul's argument that foreign aid is like welfare.

"Foreign aid is an investment in our national security. It is not a gift to other countries," he said.

"This amendment would be absolutely devastating to our foreign aid and development programs. It would decimate agencies that have already taken huge funding cuts in fiscal year '11, and would completely undermine core national security priorities and humanitarian commitments."

What are the differences between Rand and Ron? BTW Rand has to be one of the luckiest guys on Earth! I grew up without a father and I couldn't imagine having such an awesome Dad.
