"My Fellow Americans...."

[The presidential candidate who (1) grasps the messages of this speech, (2) has the guts to deliver it publicly, and (3) delivers it as soon as possible after the November elections (such as on November 3rd), will be the next President of the United States.]

I want to speak to you today on a fairly deep level about our shared heritage as Americans; about why we are feeling such gut-level consternation about what our President and his administration are doing; and about what we need to do to restore our faith in America’s future.

I’m going to be blunt, not to harm, but to heal. I’m going to voice what I know a lot of you already feel and often say in the privacy of your own home but are afraid to say in any public setting for fear of the hatred, intimidation and vitriol that always flows from the liberal orthodoxy of our media and other elites. I’m going to use words like God and Christianity, and good and evil, knowing full well that there is a tiny but very noisy element of our society that freaks out at the mere mention of those words. I say—let ‘em freak out. The time has come to speak in these terms.

A few words first about Barack Obama. I wish he’d experienced a better family life. I wish he’d not spent so much time growing up around atheists and communists and racists and community agitators. I wish his political thinking were different than it is, because if it were, I’d love to see him succeed. He has a likable personality. But I don’t have a time machine; my wishes are not going to come true; and what is at stake in America today is infinitely bigger and more important than personalities.

What is going on in America is an over-the-top, aggressive and malicious effort to overthrow the Judeo-Christian foundation of America, and it has to be stopped. It is evil. Period. And Barack Obama is leading it.

Those of us familiar with the New Testament love the deeply transforming and redemptive story of Saul of Tarsus, who woke up to the evil he was doing, and became St. Paul—a powerful and lasting force for good for humanity. But our familiarity with the great works of St. Paul should never cause us to forget that before his conversion, his actions were evil. Not debatable, not acceptable under the circumstances, not ok because well-intended, but evil. And they had to cease.

My fellow Americans, the radical left agenda being pursued by Obama is not about marginal policy differences between political parties who share a reverence for our Constitutional republic but have different though generally reconcilable views of the appropriate size and role of the federal government. This agenda is not a framework from which we can have productive discussions about this or that tax rate, or this or that federal expenditure.

Incurring unprecedented trillions in debt, spending nearly a trillion for politically rigged stimulus, taking over the auto industries, stopping domestic offshore drilling, nationalizing healthcare, moving toward a massive cap-and-trade scheme by which to control the energy industries, refusing to protect our borders, ruling the country through unvetted and unaccountable czars—these are not the result of an open, honest and transparent policy debate won through a democratic process. They represent a tyrannical, authoritarian effort to overthrow the founding principles of America, and they emerged after a calculated campaign to conceal and disguise them prior to the election of 2008. They are diabolical, and they are warlike in their purpose and intent.

I’ll come back to the campaign of deceit in 2008. But first, let’s be clear what we mean by America’s founding principles. They are summarized by the simple notion of individual freedom and responsibility under God. There are two parts to this notion, and they are equally important.

The first is the emphasis on the individual. Not the group; not the political party; not the union; not the church, but the individual—the smallest minority on earth. We believe in the energy, innovation, power and goodness of individual men and women when they are acknowledged as the children of God with freedom and individual rights endowed by God. We believe in this principle because we believe it is not a matter of ever-shifting human opinion but is in fact grounded in truth. We also believe in it because our concept of individual freedom and individual rights under God can never be separated from the concept of responsibility toward God—that is, the responsibility to live in accord with the moral law as revealed by Him.

We have no illusions that any one of us lives up to the highest standard of meeting this responsibility, but we know the flaw is not in the standard but in our efforts to live up to it, and we know that a society comprised predominantly by those who acknowledge the standard and try to live up to it will be (and has been) better than one which denies the existence of any standards and views mankind as incapable of living up to anything more that the basest of animal instincts.

The second part of our founding notion is that we are ‘under God’. That’s right, I said ‘under God’. America is a Christian nation. It always has been. Christian theology and teaching permeates our Declaration of Independence and Constitution; they permeated the thinking of the founding fathers and indeed, the founding settlers who came over on the Mayflower. They permeated the thinking of our greatest Presidents, from Washington to Lincoln to Reagan (even FDR’s D-Day address reflects his invocation of our overwhelmingly predominant Christian faith). It is our character as a Christian nation that led to a society characterized by tolerance and the protection of individual rights to free speech and freedom of religion.

We Americans love our God-given heritage. It has blessed us, and we know it. We will not turn our backs to it in times of trouble; we will run to it to re-embrace it. And that is what we are doing today.

Let me insert here a few words on the subject of Islam. Americans are famously warm and friendly and generous in extending the benefit of the doubt and a live-and-let-live attitude toward newcomers and strangers. This, too, is inherent in our character as a Christian nation. But we’re not endlessly patient, and however slow we may be to wake up to what is threatening us and our way of life, once we are awake, we will put a stop to that which threatens us.

We are through listening to non-Muslims lecturing us on Islam as a religion of peace. We are not fooled by disinformation and deceit about the symbolism and purposes of the Ground Zero mosque. Our media may drop stories they don’t want to think about and would rather nobody would think about, but the stories and the thinking don’t go away. We know about the Fort Hood massacre; we know about the foiled Christmas Day bomber. We know about the foiled Times Square bomber and the conviction with which he promised a broader war Islamic war against America. Most assuredly, we know all about 9/11 and who did it and what motivated them, and no one should be so foolish as to think we’ve forgotten or will ever forget.

If there are going to be any more assurances about the religion of peace, they will have to come from Islamic authorities broadcasting their message publicly and repeatedly and without equivocation, and accompanied by the denunciation of any Koranic doctrine suggesting, inciting or condoning the murder of infidels or Jews or homosexuals, or seeking to impose or achieve accommodation for any aspect of sharia law on the men, women or children of this nation. And if the Islamic authorities tell us that this is too much to ask, we are happy to offer these authorities and those who wish to follow them the opportunity to part in peace from this country. We do not hate anyone (though they hate us); we do not wish ill or violence upon them (though they wish it upon us, and though we have sent our soldiers to fight and die for them in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, so that they might be free from tyrannical dictators and violent, repressive regimes). But we have now had nearly ten years since 9/11 to familiarize ourselves with Islam and to understand its inherent and irreconcilable conflict with the founding principles of America. We choose to preserve America.

And now let me return to Barack Obama and his campaign deceit of 2008. We have witnessed in the past 20+ months the largest and most widespread (and still spreading) public protests in the history of America. Our media would like to ignore and will this away, but the fact is that 230+ years worth of our various anti-war protests and the protests of the civil rights era all put together would comprise a small fraction of the American people represented by the tea parties. There is a reason for both the size and intensity of these crowds, and it boils down to one word: fraud. Obama lied about who he was and what he believed, and now that his agenda is out in the open, the American people are stunned and outraged. They want the fraud undone; they want it reversed.

Mr. Obama, the American people have never spoken as forcefully as they did on November 2nd. I’m not going to bother playing psychotherapist and exploring the remedies for narcissism; I’m not even going to bother trying to talk you out of your political philosophy and worldview. I’m just going to tell you that America doesn’t share them; doesn’t want them; and never voted for them. When they got their chance to vote against them, they did, and in numbers never seen before.

I’m here to assure you they don’t wish you any personal harm, but I’m also here to tell you they want you out of the Presidency, NOW. You can always claim to have broken a skin color barrier, and you can, using your God-inspired American right of free speech, continue the claim you had only the best of intentions and hopes. But you willfully and egregiously violated the trust of the American people, and that trust cannot be restored. I urge you to resign, NOW.

My fellow Americans, we have endured a national fraud long enough. Barack Obama isn't the sole perpetrator; he’s the product of a lot of lies over many decades about America, about individual freedom and responsibility, and about Christianity. But now we’ve collectively re-awakened to the truth, and there’s nothing like a little truth-knowing and truth-telling to disable and remove the lies. Doing so has put our faith in America’s future back on track, because we’ve rediscovered what America is and what it stands for in the history of humanity.

As our founders began our independent, American way of life—with ‘firm trust in divine Providence”—let us promise to do the same, and commit to do everything in our power to restore, honor and continue the America of the founding, for ourselves and our posterity.

May God bless you, and God bless America.
