Rand Paul on America's greatness in the Weekly GOP Address

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky delivers today's Weekly GOP Address. He contrasts the Republican vision of America with the "You didn't build that" philosophy of President Obama.

Here are some of Paul's remarks:

America is a land where no man or woman is king, only liberty is king. America is a land where this liberty is protected by our Constitution, but is not granted by it. Rather, our liberty is endowed to each of us by our Creator.

But it's not enough to beat one's chest and proclaim America's greatness. You and I must understand the principles that have created this wonderful country.

We must understand and be proud of America's historic ability to create such wealth, abundance and generosity. As the President campaigns against those who have succeeded, as the president vilifies those who employ millions of workers, he condemns the very system that made America great.

Today there's a war going on for the heart and soul of America. A war between those who believe in the American Dream and those who cannot grasp what makes America great.
