"I believe that the primary Constitutional function of the federal government is national defense, bar none," reads the very first sentence of Sen.-elect Rand Paul's (R-KY) issue page on national defense. Sen.-elect Paul is right. It is right there in the Preamble to the United States Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Someone remind the Dolly-bama about this.
