And the people who are at the bottom often get there as a result of not caring about being there. Although in today's world they mostly get there because the opportunities they have put them there. <br /><br />So from the pool of potential "leaders" you generally have driven people who value money and power. I get that. What I don't get is how we have so many people at the top who have no sense of compassion or morality at all. Does someone really need a billion dollars so much so that they will depreciate the lives of millions to get it? Well apparently that seems to be the case. But then again I am not surprised. History has shown us that the Kings never associate themselves with (or care about) the plight of the peasants. Not until their heads are on the guillotine.hac5x3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14487913484673215777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-52926188381672992512012-01-19T10:45:51.864-07:002012-01-19T10:45:51.864-07:00The real core of your question on leadership is cl...The real core of your question on leadership is class.<br /><br />I firmly believe leadership is genetic. The herd seeks a strong leader to protect it from predators.<br /><br />How the American herd selects its leader depends on who wants the job. The herd has selected many of modest means: John Adams, Lincoln, Grant, McKinley, Eisenhower or Clinton.<br /><br />But working 60 hours a week just to keep bread on the table does not leave a average Joe time to dabble in politics. Having money buys you the needed free time to spend in politics.<br /><br />I think what we are yearning for is another George Washington. A true patriot with wealth and position but not out to rape the nation to line his pockets or the pockets of his friends. And a man more than willing to give up power for the simple life.<br /><br />It is sad that only a handfull of Presidents have lived up to Washington.<br /><br />Maybe Romney could be that man. As an honest man of faith and wealth I do not think corruption would even enter his mind.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879366155439374458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-9740049178588988302012-01-19T10:17:44.396-07:002012-01-19T10:17:44.396-07:00Hmmm... the argument is simply a supposition and c...Hmmm... the argument is simply a supposition and conclusion. Not that a food stamp receiving Marxist would be any worse than these two.<br /><br />I agree with you on most fronts.<br /><br />Class warfare is real. In a Republic everyone must pitch in. Those not pitching in, corporate America and the rich and elite aided by a tax code absolutely designed for them, creates argument. The war. Who is going to pay?<br /><br />This is the fault of unrestrained government. The pit all segments and strata against each other as we attempt to pay their bills.<br /><br />Currently we can't. So everyone heads for the nearest dodge.<br /><br />Therein lies the war. All debts are paid. And so far this one isn't. And the elite like Romney aren't helping. In fact they continue to keep the reins of power and make it worse.<br /><br />We need a man of courage. Not a beauty queen or a elite banker. We need non status quo to extract us from status quo hell.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-51688814307884971252012-01-19T10:01:53.920-07:002012-01-19T10:01:53.920-07:00**** "He is wealthy and elite.

I find it interesting how far the nation has drifted into Marxism. Even people who claim to be pro-freedom jump on the Socialist Class Warfare bandwagon.<br /><br />To follow that argument to its logical conclusion, the most qualified person for President would be a high school drop out, food stamp getting, unemployed loser living in his mother's basement.<br /><br />That type of person appears to represent the "common man" these days.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879366155439374458noreply@blogger.com
