Sacred Cows - Rand Paul speaks hard truths to GOP

Fat Chance, but getting rid of DEA and the war drugs, the ATF (what a redundant waste), the IRS, let the States regulate Abortion because it has always existed and will NEVER go away no matter what, let the States deal with homosexual unions and marriage (and polygamy will be next because of Muslins, not Mormons). Freeze all Federal hiring, the military is too political and too top heavy. Why are there over 100 admirals when there are 164 ships in the Navy? The defense budget nets correcting in better pay for the sailors, soldiers and marines and better benefits for veterans, these are the only real workers in the government.
Eliminate or consolidate the Dept. of Homeland Security, Education, EPA, Labor, HUD, Health and Human Services, Interior, Commerce, Transportation, Energy, and quit and close the UN.
That is a small start! m/r

Blog: Rand Paul speaks hard truths to GOP
August 30, 2012  Rick Moran

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul spoke to the GOP convention last night, telling both parties that they must "slay their sacred cows" in order for the nation to get its fiscal house in order.
USA Today:
Sen. Rand Paul urged GOP delegates tonight to embrace the Constitution and adopt the mantra of small government, as he urged them to elect Mitt Romney to the White House.
Paul is a Tea Party favorite and the son of the Texas congressman who was an adherent of the movement long before it had a name. For Tea Partiers, having one member of the Paul family on stage here onight might be small consolation.
The senator was applauded for his talk.
"Republicans and Democrats alike must slay their sacred cows," he said. "Republicans must acknowledge that not every dollar spent on the military is necessary or well-spent, and Democrats must admit that domestic welfare and entitlements must be reformed."
