The paramount issue in 2016 is not ideas. Any person whose mind has not been corrupted by the university-bred doctrine of moral relativism, a doctrine that permeates the mentality of many of the highly educated officials of the State Department, would say NO to the entry into America of the late Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a Muslim despot would who not only used Iranian children to walk over land mines, in Iran’s war against Iraq, but who also chanted “Death to America.”

Therefore, the paramount issue is not a nuclear Islam. This is only the external paramount issue confronting America, now confused by “political correctness.
More significant, we need a PASSIONATE presidential candidate capable of arousing the patriotic emotions of the American People.

The people have been jaded by excessive emphasis on jobs. Of course jobs are important; but that by itself will not arouse America’s fighting and patriotic passions.

The voters need to see and have a well-modulated PASSIONATE Presidential candidate who is also a caring man, caring not only for the jobless, but also for the revival of American pride and international leadership, which that have been undermined by the lifeless and apologetic presidency of Barack Obama.

Our Presidential candidate must show, with controlled emotion, a fighting spirit.  He must focus on two related enemies: (1) the evil of ISLAM exemplified by the ISIS beheadings of innocent people; and (2)  Obama’s fatuous denial of the Islamic threat; his saying America is not at war with Islam, while suggesting that ISLAM is not at war with America – as if 9/11 never happened.

(3) We need a presidential candidate who will expose Obama’s ineptitude and moral cloddishness. Suffice to mention his golf-escapades while, the country was being invaded in the south by illegal immigrants.

(4) Our Presidential candidate must show that Obama is increasing the crime rate among blacks; and that to win votes for Democrats, he is making Hispanic criminals U.S. citizens and supported them with the earnings of hard-working Americans. This has  be exposed with passion to arouse righteous indignation.

The 2016 election campaign must not be a milk-and-toast affair. The hard-working ethics and self-reliance of the American people must be emphasized. So should the brilliant and much emulatedd Constitutional structure and  political principles of our Founding Fathers.

All this and our very existence as a Republic are at stake in the 2016 election. Obama’s Islamic sympathies and his having been tainted by the multicultural moral relativism propagated by academia can have only one end: the demise of America.

We need a President that can articulate and defend America’s glorious heritage
