Just as he was in the face of his opponents when he was mayor of New York City, as President he will confront all the U.S.'s enemies - domestic and foreign - and he will ride roughshod over them, doing whatever it takes to secure America...

In a steady rain, Benedict pulled out the latest nuggets from his seemingly inexhaustible mine of deep thoughts on a now familiar theme: why his black-and-white brand of faith is the right response in a contemporary world given to compromises and what he disparagingly and repeatedly calls relativism.
