Rand Paul Against Having A Monarch
2013-01-16
[HUMANEVENTS] Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) gave an interview to the Christian Broadcasting Network in which he rather strongly denounced President B.O.'s threats to impose gun control through executive orders. "I'm against having a king," said the Senator. "I think having a monarch is what we fought the American Revolution over, and someone who wants to bypass the Constitution, bypass Congress, that's someone who wants to act like a king or monarch."

#7  We have taxation without representation all the time. Ever stay in a hotel outside your home state? You didn't vote for somebody who voted for that tax.

I think somebody needs a little history lesson.
Maybe me too. I thought the cause was absentee government, 'taxation without representation'.
Like paying a gas tax for highway maintenance then driving on potholes and falling down brid...wait a minute!

#1  He isn't a monarch.

He is a lightbringer.

He is an enlightened being.

He is above mortal man.

Wait a minute.....
