I heard Larry Elders make an excellent point along the lines of Federal responsibilties. The Presidency has become a caretaker position for every progressive effort that has emerged since the New Deal, with little time left for the primary responsibility of that position - National Security. The first officer of that position was none other than the Commander of rebellion colonial forces for the very reason that the role of President is the General of the nation; manifested with the power to make snap decisions concerning the security of the nation in the maintenance of sovereignty.
Today, the role has been deluted to the point that our previous Grifter and Chief was propelled to office on the fantastically assinine slogan, "It's the economy, Stupid!" Only a generation of fools, so perverted to logic and detached from principle as to believe that anyone commands free markets, could succomb to the rhetoric of charlattans proclaiming that the President of the United States can be overly consumed with international issue related to national interests. As a result, we got a juvenile malcontent in the office, playing political games with domestic policy, making mortal mistakes with America lives abroad, destroying a decade of security policy, spending more time with an adolescent mistress in a dark corner of the oval office, than with his Secretary of State. In some ways, America did get exactly what it deserved on 911, but not for the reasons the liberals proclaim, and not for want of a better leader in the White House.
The slogan this time around should be, "It IS foreign policy, Jack-Ass!"... when it comes to issues of national security and the role of the President and frankly the federal government as a whole.
We The People, will take care of local and economic concerns... such as life, liberty, property and the welfare of our neighbors, and our sons, and our daughters.
