The Palin Factor II

As things stand today, Sarah Palin is the only potential candidate with any chance of dethroning Obama in 2012. This is because the wealthy capitalist elite has succeeded in conditioning the electorate to believe that diversity is, in and of itself, a good thing for America.

Obama won in 2008 because he is black. It will take an even greater anomaly, namely a credible, intelligent woman candidate, to overcome Obama's presumptuousness because of race.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, you can only fool all of the people some of the time.

Limited Government and the Principle of Subsidiarity

After the Revolutionary War in 1776, there were in effect thirteen sovereign states in America. Adopting the Articles of Confederation just meant that these states were willing to band together for common purposes such as defense and trade. The Constitution enacted in 1787 was designed to uphold the sovereignty of the several states within one nation.

The principle of subsidiarity prohibits government at a higher level from doing things that can be done locally or at a lower level. This is essentially the basis for the Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights which limits the scope of the federal government to having only those powers enumerated in the constitution.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, President Lincoln had to take emergency measures to keep the Union together. During this time, the war powers of the executive branch of government grew.

The Baucus Bill on health care is a clear violation of the principle of subsidiarity. The best health care will not be provided by the federal government. In order to preserve good government in America, Americans must band together to vote out of office the president, and all senators and congressional representatives who vote in favor of the transfer of power over medical insurance to the federal government, or who vote in favor of the nationalization of health insurance or the so-called public option.

Survival of the Fittest

Governor Mark Sanford's recent junket Argentina is another example of the principles of social Darwinism within the Republican Party. He now joins the list of potential candidates in 2012 including Palin, Jindal, Ensign, Gingrich and Huntsman, who may have become extinct in the presidential political environment through gaffes.

The real issue is America's smallness as a nation. Those in the Republican Party who do not adhere to a code of honor should be thrown out of office. This essentially clears the field leaving not the ones who are most qualified by human standards, but the ones who are among the elect in God's judgment. This is why the Republican Party produces the best presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.

Darwin was correct in the idea of evolution. Darwinism is a fallacy that rejects creation, believing in life coming into existence by chance. God's Kingdom is outside the realm of scientific exploration.
