Mark Levin addresses the talk about the type of candidate that the United States needs if we are going to have any chance of extricating ourselves from the overwhelming destruction of the Obama regime. He says it doesn’t really matter to him what the current employment of the individual that would assume the office of President of the United States. What matters are that person’s values, their vision and their leadership ability.

He sees an agenda to restore the Republic, respect for the American people, stop ruling by the administrative state and regulation and the infamous pen and phone. He notes that our founding principles are largely ignored by Democrats and misunderstood by many Republicans, with millions of Americans never hearing the topic discussed.

He points to Senator Ted Cruz, who was fought every step of the way by the Texas Republican establishment and then trashed incessantly since he’s been in the United States Senate.

Levin says we need somebody that can rally the American people to their own defense, to their own survival, to rein in the out of control debt. He says that nothing prepares you for the presidency but character and that is the trait that we should be seeking in a candidate.

Levin notes how Obama, a man of no character, has been extremely effective at destroying the United States from within. We need someone who is the exact opposite for the rebuilding process. He remarks that being able to speak and having charisma are important, as the next president will need to be able to rally the people to their own salvation.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

A Governor who is also a Conservative Visionary Leader would be okay, though.

Don’t forget adhering to the U.S. Constitution.

The only Visionary Leader I have seen in this race thus far is TED CRUZ.

This is about revolution, not moving the bloat around so that it works better for us.

May I never hear the following lame credentials for president said again.

“We need a governor”.

“We need somebody who isn’t a first term senator. How did that turn out the last time?”

As Mark says, we need a conservative visionary leader.

Levin, re-phrased: "We need a visionary Constitutional statesman as leader.

Such a leader would vow to hold fast to the principles of liberty stated so eloquently by the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, in his 1801 Inaugural Address--wherein Jefferson laid out what might be considered to be "qualifications" for the American presidency:

(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;

- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;

= enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;

- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter

—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?

- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,

- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.

- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;

- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;

- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;

- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;

- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;

- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;

- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;

- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;

- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;

- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;

- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;

- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;

- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.

These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

Right now, we need an ass-kicker to get the federal bureaucracy back to working for the people. That is job 1.

Most of the federal bureaucracy is designed specifically to work against We, the People. The only way to get the federal bureaucracy to work FOR us is to ELIMINATE most of it.

The first job in getting the federal bureaucracy back to working for the people is to disestablish and defund the various bureaux, departments, and agencies that have been favored nesting sites for the Lyndon Johnson-Jimmy Carter-Bill Clinton Left.

Top of the list are EPA, Dept. of Education, and now the IRS, since it's been refashioned into a weapon by Obama.

Also the Civil Rights Division of DoJ, and the Southern Poverty Law Center: Let those guys buy their own dope and hookers.

We'll also have to De-RiNOfy it. Out goes Dept. of Commerce, out goes Dept. of Labor, and somehow we've got to figure out a way to amputate K Street and J Street.

Are you referring to Scott Walker and his total lack of foreign policy experience?

No. I mean I think experience does count for a lot. Voters will not vote based just on someone spouting off their conservative visionary ideas because when you get in there it is a democracy and you are working with many others. You have to know how to get the work done. How to lead, and that takes experience.

I mean, I have conservative visionary ideas but no one is going to vote for me.

Just realistic. I think the guy who said a Governor who has conservative visionary ideas was more on target.

No record of success? Bush v. Gore, District of Columbia v. Heller, Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, Medellin v. Texas, Van Orden v. Perry and many others aren't successes in your book?
