The Sad Thing Is, Our Foreign Policy

Al-awlaki Was Born Here, He Is An American Citizen. He Was Never Tried Or Charged For Any Crimes. No One Knows If He Killed Anybody. We Know He Might Have Been Associated With The Underwear Bomber. But If The American People Accept This Blindly And Casually That We Now Have An Accepted Practice Of The President Assassinating People Who He Thinks Are Bad Guys, I Think It's Sad.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come Cannot Be Stopped By Any Army Or Any Force.

It Is True That Liberty Is Not Free, Nor Is It Easy. But Tyranny - Even Varying Degrees Of It - Is Much More Difficult, And Much More Expensive. The Time Has Come To Rein In The Federal Government, Put It On A Crash Diet, And Let The People Keep Their Money And Their Liberty.

I Am Convinced That There Are More Threats To American Liberty Within The 10-mile Radius Of My Office On Capitol Hill Than There Are On The Rest Of The Globe.

Mr. Speaker, I Once Again Find Myself Compelled To Vote Against The Annual Budget Resolution For A Very Simple Reason: It Makes Government Bigger.
