First and foremost, any fair understanding of the Constitution presupposes the acknowledgment of the existence of a Creator God. It must be foundationally emphasized that all fundamental Constitutional rights of individuals stem from God and not the State. Government exists to secure these God-given rights for each person."
I was dizzy. My head was swimming, as I found myself lost in the haze of his words, and that penetrating gaze. Stop, damn you! I wanted to shout out, but through the fog and the heat, I heard only a low moan escape my lips. I knew only two things: this man was going to be President.
And I wanted him.
