CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 30, 2019
IF I HAD TO PICK AN IDEAL PRESIDENT IT WOULD BE VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE. HE HOLDS THE SAME POSITIONS AS PRESIDENT TRUMP, BUT WITHOUT ALL THE BAGGAGE AND CONSTANT CONTROVERSIES AND UNNECESSARY TURMOIL. HE IS A MAN OF SUPREME INTEGRITY, STRONG CHRISTIAN VALUES AND A STREAK OF KINDNESS THAT IS DEEP AND WIDE.
IN A SPEECH TO THE AMERICAN LEGION EARLIER THIS WEEK, THE VICE PRESIDENT TOOK ANOTHER PRINCIPLED STAND, REVERSING A POLICY OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO REMOVE BIBLES FROM VA HOSPITALS. HE WAS RESPONDING TO A LAWSUIT FILED BY A GROUP TRYING TO REMOVE THE BIBLE FROM A VA HOSPITAL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE BIBLE HAD BEEN CARRIED BY A WORLD WAR TWO VETERAN AND WAS PART OF A “MISSING MAN” TABLE AT THE HOSPITAL. PENCE SAID HE WAS PUSHING BACK AGAINST POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND GOVERNMENT’S PAST HOSTILITY TO RELIGION. I WOULD ADD ESPECIALLY ITS HOSTILITY TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. LOOK HOW THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DISCRIMINATED AGAINST CHRISTIAN REFUGEES IN FAVOR OF MUSLIMS. IT’S A SMALL THING AND YET IT IS PART OF THE FABRIC OF WHO THIS MAN IS. IN MY OPINION HE WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL PRESIDENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
