THE PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT - DEFENSIVE!

This is the way it was until the globalists decided to take over and stick their noses in everyone else's business:
Here is a cool thought by Ezra Taft Benson. It concerns Israel and how our government has perveted the Constitution in relation to the State of Israel and kept us in a state of war to spread "American Ideal"
Quoting further from Ezra Taft Benson with regard to United States Foreign Policy:
“Ever since World War I, when we sent American boys to Europe supposedly to ‘make the world safe for democracy’, our leaders in Washington have been acting as though the American people elected them to office for the primary purpose of leading the entire planet toward international peace, prosperity and one-world government.
“…We mistake the object of our Government… Conquest or superiority among other powers is not or ought not ever to be the object of republican systems. If they are sufficiently active & energetic to rescue us from contempt & preserve our domestic happiness & security, it is all we can expect from them… (The Records of the Federal Convention [Max Farrand, Editor], 1: 402)
“There is one and only one legitimate goal of United States foreign policy. It is a narrow goal, a nationalistic goal: the preservation of our national independence. Nothing in the Constitution grants that the President shall have the privilege of offering himself as a world leader.
“Nothing in the Constitution nor in logic grants to the President of the United States or to Congress the power to influence the political life of other countries, to ‘uplift’ their cultures, to bolster their economies, to feed their peoples or even to defend them against their enemies.
“The proper function of government must be limited to a defensive role.” (Ezra Taft Benson, “United States Foreign Policy”, Preston, Idaho, June 21, 1968)

  1. I totally agree with President Benson! I don't understand how the majority of our people in the US don't understand it. I'm especially surprised at how people who have read the Book of Mormon don't understand that God only supports defensive wars unless he gives commandment otherwise :(
