Rand Paul’s little inaccuracies are not as bad as claiming “I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.” On the other hand, a presidential wannabe misquoting America’s most famous Founders does not sit well considering they are under attack by the America-haters. As an ophthalmologist let’s hope Paul’s treatments were more accurate than his quotes:
More importantly than misquotes, Rand Paul makes no sense when he combines bankruptcy with military spending:
Ultimately, it is impossible to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. Rand Paul turned that truism upside down:
I’d be a lot happier with Paul had he said ——— Get rid of all welfare spending because the military defends the country, while welfare spending only defends parasites as they tear down the country.
NOTE: Here is an accurate quote for Mr. Paul:
Bottom line: America’s greatness in peace, and in war, was etched in stone before the parasite class administered the income tax.
Finally, contemporary conservatism is cobbled together with Socialist policies, while Democrats, Republicans, and everybody in-between claim they are fiscal conservatives and social liberals. That is pure politician doublespeak. The size of the federal government; i.e. the welfare state, prove that no such person can co-exist in the same body. No individual can be fiscally conservative and socially liberal at the same time, yet conservatives vote for half-assed individuals who make that claim. Arnold Schwarzenegger got elected with that line of crap, and look at what he did to California.
p.s. Rand Paul and Ben Carson are doctors. I have different reasons for distrusting both. Carson is the worst because he is running as a conservative spiritual leader. Put Carson in perspective by imagining him debating the spiritual leader in the White House.
Four months ago, we brought to your attention that your first two books contained several quotations incorrectly attributed to our founding fathers. In The Tea Party Goes to Washington, you write eloquently of the need to limit government, quoting Thomas Jefferson as saying, “My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” But Jefferson never said this. In Government Bullies (an e-book best seller!), you argue against tyranny and oppression, quoting James Madison as saying, “If tyranny and oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” There’s no evidence Madison ever said or wrote this.

SEN. RAND PAUL: You can't be a strong country from bankruptcy court. This is what I tell people all the time. This is what separates me from most of the Republican field.
I don't think you can be a fiscal conservative if you're liberal with military spending. I think you have to be conservative on all spending, domestic welfare or military. What we have in Washington is the opposite compromise.
You have people on the right who say you need more military spending. People on the left want more welfare spending. And you know what? We get more of both.

NOTE: Here is an accurate quote for Mr. Paul:
I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Ludlow, September 6, 1824
