Freedom Outpost
“I care that too much power gets in one place,” Paul said in a speech in Lexington at the Kentucky Association of Counties conference.
Yesterday Rand Paul was sounding off on Barack Obama’s Executive Amnesty when he suddenly went down a curious path. Soon his warning of too much power being in the hands of one individual became a sobering historical reminder, and possibly a future warning, of American Internment Camps.
Steve Watson provides this partial transcript and commentary:
“Think of what happened in World War II where they made the decision. The president issued an executive order. He said to Japanese people ‘we’re going to put you in a camp. We’re going to take away all your rights and liberties and we’re going to intern you in a camp.’” Paul continued, citing then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order authorizing the internments.
“We shouldn’t allow that much power to gravitate to one individual. We need to separate the power,” Paul urged.
The Senator, who has expressed support for a potential lawsuit against the immigration order, asked the audience to consider the bigger picture of Obama’s actions and the precedent he is now setting by so openly bypassing Congress and the political system put into place by the founders.
“The danger of what the president is doing on immigration isn’t necessarily the details of what he’s doing now,” Paul said. “The danger is allowing so much power to gravitate to one person.”
Is Rand Paul speaking hypothetically or does he know more than he cares to tell us?
Do you ever get the feeling that there are still some semi-good people in government that might be trying to warn us by dropping subtle hints? They can’t or won’t come out and say things in plain words because they fear they would jeopardize their careers, but they want to say something to speak to those who might be able to “decode” what they are saying.

Are you going to tell me that the entire U.S. government infrastructure cannot stop one dude out of control? What a load of crap.
Congress can totally shut Obama down in one day but they do nothing. TRAITORS.
