Rand Paul Takes On Russia’s Putin & Barack Obama – “Yes, America IS Exceptional”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

In stark contrast to five years of Barack Obama telling Americans and the world, that the United States is not nearly so exceptional as it once believed itself to be, Senator Rand Paul fired back at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most recent claim that America is, as Barack Obama himself generalized earlier, a lesser nation. Senator Paul’s comments take direct aim at Putin’s remarks, pushing the once again popular and anti-Obama concept of American exceptionalism.

“Taking Putin to task.”

Sen. Rand Paul: President Putin, America Is Exceptional

It is our exceptionalism—and our separation of powers—that has kept us out of war in Syria.

A recent op-ed by Russian President Vladimir Putin has prompted me to respond. While his position that the Syrian conflict can and should be settled through a political and diplomatic solution is correct, virtually everything else in his writing should be taken to task. So I shall.

I begin with Mr. Putin’s disagreement regarding the exceptionalism of the United States of America. I could not more strongly disagree with him. While he is correct that God created every human being as an equal in His eyes, clearly the results of each of our efforts on this earth, individually and collectively, are not equal.

America’s exceptionalism is rooted in our founding documents and values. From the rights granted by our creator, but guaranteed by our Constitution. We should not shy away from saying so, especially when our actions are in keeping with this exceptional founding, as they were this week in our debate over going to war in Syria. Our constitutional checks and balances were on full display, largely resulting in the at least temporary halting of a rush to war.

      Thank You, Senator Rand Paul! It’s about time somebody in this great Country set the records straight. We do have a system of checks and balances, but this administration is attempting to eliminate it by dictating “corrections” to our Constitution!” I don’t understand how Mr. O. gets away with this. He is testing the waters for future Democratic control of our nation’s taxpayers and voters.
      I want to see a stop to this nonsense. I want to sell less of the lies, less of the B.S. and more rightful
      action from my leaders. I want to see Congress do the right thing instead of negotiating their way into useless rules and laws. I want to see less posturing and more actions that favor taxpaying honest Americans, not people who take advantage of the system. Our system was built on giving each person an “opportunity” not a “gift”. Congress in my opinion has caused more chaos by posturing and negotiating than positive effects. Thank you for your belief in a smaller Government led by leaders with experience and ability rather than those that teach because they can’t do!
