RELIGION or POLITICS ? The Presidency and the Constitution, cont'd

Hi over-eaters, maybe if you are lazy and bummed out from eating you will sit down and chew in this piece of wisdom from Imprimis published Hillsdale College. The article is by Mike Pence, Representative of Indiana's 6th Congressional district.  


Cont'd from Wednesday:::::::


     As the president returns to the consistent application of the principles in the Constitution, he will also ensure fiscal responsibility and prosperity.   Who is better suited, with his executive and veto powers, to carry over the duty of self restraint and discipline to the idea of fiscal solvency?    Whe the president restrains government spending, leaving room for the American people to enjoy the fruits of their labor, growth is inevitable.   As Senator Robert Taft wrote:   "Liberty has been the key to our progress in the past and is eh key to our progress in the future... If we can preserve liberty in all its essentials, there is no limit to the future of the American people."

      Whereas teh president must be cautious, dutiful, and deferential at homem his character must change abroad.   Were he to ask for a primer on how to act in relationship to other states, which no holder of the office has needed to this point, and were that primer to be written by the American people, whether of 1776 or 2010, you can be confident that it would contain the following instructions.   


"You do not bow to kings.   Outside our shores, the President of the United States of America bows to no man.    When in foreign lands, you do not criticize your own county.  YOu do not argue the case against the United States, but the case for it.   You do not apologize to the enemies of the United States.    Should you be confused, a country, or region that harbors, shelters, supports, encourages, or cheers attacks upon our country or the slaughter of our freinds and families are enemies of the United States.    And, to repeat, you do not apologize to them.    PERIOD.

And so my friends, please do have a great weekend and there is more here on this present subject, aand so I will continue on with it in a day or so.   Thanks for reading.   Cheers    CJ
