Hi y'all, hope you have had a great, which I have had and grateful for, and my wish is for you too. Not only a great week for me and my wife, but we are truly blessed to be able to listen and learn from Glenn Beck, whom I consider an uncredible human being, but also a GREAT AMERICAN. If you are not listening to him and paying attention then I feel sorry for you and would consider you a person lacking in intelligence but also lacking in love of country, and deserve to be unprepared for what lies ahead, and suffer accordingly.
BEWARE OF GEORGE SOROS AND WHAT HE AND THE FAR LEFT HAVE IN STORE FOR THIS COUNTRY. WAKE UP, WAKE UP, AND WAKE UP..................
But for now, I will continue with the writings of US Representative. Mike Pence of Indiana, as presented in the monthly newsletter published by Hillsdale College.
The Presidency must adhere to its definition as expressed in the Constitution, and to conduct defined over time and by tradition. While the powers of the office have enlarged, along with those of the legislature and the judiciary, the framework of the government was intended to restrict abuses common to classical empires and to the regal states of the 19th century.
Without proper adherence to the role contemplated in the Constitution for the presidency, the checks and balances in the constitutional plan become weakened. This has been most obvious in recent years when the three branches of government have been subject to the tutelage of a single party. Under either party, presidents have often forgotten that they are intended to restrain the Congress at times, and that thus fused in unholy unity, the political class has raged forward in drunken expansion of powers and prerogatives, mistakenly assuming that to exercise power is by default to do good.
Even the simplest among us knows that this is not so. Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes as easily as air flows through mesh. Therefore, those who are entrusted with it must educate themselves in self-restraint. A republic is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.
The tragedy of presidential decisions is that even with the best choice, some, perhaps many, will be left behind, and some, perhaps many, will die. Because of this, a true statesman lives continuously with what Churchill called "stress of soul". He may give to Paul, but only because he robs Peter. And that is why you must always become wary of a president who seems to float on his own greatness. For all greatness is tempered by mortality, every sould is equal, and distinctions among men cannot be owned: they are on loan from God, who takes them back and evens accounts at the end.
OK, so much for friday, and trust all are looking for a great weekend and a new week ahead. One word of advice I am merely passing along. Start being grateful for your blessing, and you will soon discover there will be even more that could hope for. Lots of cheers. CJ
