Periodically, I am asked - why not go beyond such negativity and instead pronounce positive solutions to the myriad of government scandals, incompetence and failed policies so artfully described in my Blog posts? Okay, that proposition has not been proffered to me as of today; nonetheless, it has occurred to me sua sponte from time to time.
Accordingly, we commence a new paradigm here and now together. My vision for the faithful execution of the responsibilities of the Leader of the Free World is to undertake such forceful actions under law as necessary to preserve, protect and defend freedom in America and in all nations where freedom is cherished, but threatened. More than a century ago, Teddy Roosevelt, of Rough Rider fame, knew all too well that leadership can only accomplished from the front, so he lead the charge up San Juan Hill. As President, Roosevelt, in having the US Navy circumnavigate the globe with our Great White Fleet, demonstrated to all future opponents of US interests that while we might speak softly, we weren't about to bring any knives to a gun fight.
While Woodrow Wilson was a laconic progressive of very marginal leadership skills - he had about as much "get it done" charisma as one would expect from a failed Davidson College drop out, having only made it through his frosh year before transferring to Princeton University, where he was graduated at the top of his class. Nonetheless, when revolutionary bandits from Mexico launched murderous raids into our southwest border states, Wilson fully appreciated that his constitutional duty to defend the sovereign integrity of America mandated military enforcement of the sanctity of the Mexico/United States border. Accordingly, President Woodrow Wilson unleashed a truly effective defense of our border state citizens by ordering an Army division of combat soldiers, lead by the toughest commanders available, General "Jack Boot" Pershing and Colonel George "Blood and Guts" Patton to restore law and order to the Nation's endangered southwest.
Today's southwest border scenario is indeed far more grave than the situation that confronted Woodrow Wilson. Boiled down to its essential components, America is under siege by tens of thousands of young illegal immigrants, many infirm with contagious diseases and no means of supporting themselves beyond the payments already made by relatives to murderous coyotties to dump them across the Rio Grand River. The sophistication and efficiency of these human traffic cabals would make Pancho Villa green with envy.
Even more horrendous, however, is the obvious full immunity from law enforcement interference granted to these criminal enterprises by the Government of Mexico. Indisputably, pay-offs have been made and accepted to look the other way when trains traverse the entire north south length of Mexico, over 1000 miles, with hundreds of illegals riding in plain site on the top of every single freight car, the caboose and even the diesel engines. As Mexico has become a co-conspirator in this "death train" of criminal misery, that nation must be held responsible for the humanitarian crisis unfolding daily in which these innocent boys and girls are brutalized by their coyotties and the lethal dangers of riding roof top rails, whereby an untold number die from dehydration and other deprivations (how does anyone safety sleep on a week long trip on top of an unsecured boxcar moving at over thirty miles per hour?) before ever reaching America. Recent estimates have projected that the number of deaths over the past several years from this Mexico government endorsed human trafficing operation far exceed the number of civilian deaths in Gaza from the ongoing Israeli missile/tunnel defensive battles.
In seeking to save these tens of thousands of innocent children, President Obama need look no further for guidance than his democratic forebear, Woodrow Wilson. Real and effective leadership would solve this humanitarian crisis in about four days' time. Day 1: Inform Mexico and the United Nations that Mexico's allowance of the free and unfettered passage of the Death Trains constitutes a Crime against Humanity, as defined by the International Criminal Court to be a government sponsored or tolerated criminally murderous program entailing attacks on human dignity or the degradation of innocent human beings. Day 2: Mexico is given 24 hours to sign a binding treaty with the US to utilize combined American/Federali police officers to terminate all future operations of these trains of death. Day 3: Should Mexico refuse to enter into this treaty of cooperative train safety enforcement, the President announces that drone strikes on all unoccupied death train railway bridges will commence in 24 hours. Day 4: When verified as remote in time to all traveling trains, America disables the operations of the death trains by destruction of all Mexican railway bridges over the entire 1000 mile length of this conveyance of violent death.
By execution of this Woodrow Wilson/Pershing-like defense of our Nation's border integrity, not one person would be injured and thousands of innocent children could be saved from death in the deserts of Mexico. Presidential leadership does require courageous vision and it most certainly does not include providing free airline trips from central America to the United States in order to stop these children from being loaded onto moving death trains - easier to safely stop the trains from running. Now that's a positive program we can all get behind, when the President chooses to lead from the front.
