The Constitution firstly enumerates in Article II, respecting actual duties of the “executive Power,” that the President is the Commander in Chief. Therefore his or her primary concern is to “provide for the common defense” as proclaimed in the Constitution’s Preamble.

The Preamble declared that “We The People” formed this Union with the goals of seeking perfection, Justice, Domestic Tranquility and that while the government so conceived must actually provide for the common defense it must merely “promote the general Welfare” and yet it must “secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Mitt Romney embodies the mission for which the Founders tasked this nation’s government for he obviously does not fear, because of the pressures of political correctness, to identify our enemies as he states his primary concern will be the national defense.

Romney has always been like most Americans, who are personally pro-life, and yet he, like many Americans, lost sight of the founding notion that we must secure the Blessing of Liberty to our posterity. While pondering the issue of cloning Romney rediscovered that it is a founding principle that “We The People” must secure, as Martin Luther King might note, the promissory note of Liberty not only to “ourselves” but also to our future generations, the Posterity so noted in the Constitution.

How can "We The People" claim to secure said Liberty if we allow, and affirm by acceptance, the summary execution of one third of this nation’s innocent and defenseless developing sons and daughters for the offense of existing as unwelcome inconveniences?

Each American should look at each and every candidate and imagine him or her as the Commander in Chief during this era of soaring technology that has created the possibilities for a few to cause here-to-fore unimaginable destruction and death. We know that such is not a groundless fear for indeed it has already been manifested not so long ago.

Mitt Romney has demonstrated that he knows who our enemies are and he has not lost his cool or become tearfully self-absorbed with sentimentalities over being the object of shameful false arguments, such as ad hominem attacks, or revelations that he was behind in a poll, or that he lost a minor primary election.

Of all the Presidential candidates, Democrat or Republican, Mitt Romney may very well be the best to fulfill the Presidential mold that our founders established.

My mind is still open and I am always on watch.
