Texas Drifter Romney Worst Of Choices?
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Obvious qualities for successful conservative leadership include: ability, experience, integrity, insights, mental discipline, and loyalty to followers; as no individual can be a leader without followers.
More specific traits are defined in following excerpts by George Washington Doane include in excerpts from “The Men To Make A State”.
1. The men to lead, must be intelligent. It calls for wisdom, and discretion, and intelligence, of no ordinary standard. It takes in every exercise, the interest of all the nation.
2. The men to lead, must be honest. I mean men whom no king on earth can buy.
3. The men to lead must be brave men. I mean men that do, but do not talk. I mean the men that dare to stand alone.
4. The men to lead must be religious men. The men that own no future, the men that trample on the Bible, the men that never pray, are not men to lead.
5. The men to lead are made by faith. A man that has no faith is so much flesh. His heart is a muscle nothing more.
6. The men to lead are made by self denial. I mean he knows no shelter, and feels no shade. He asks no favor and gives none.
7. The men to lead are themselves made by obedience. Obedience is but self- government in action; and he can never govern men who does not govern first himself.
Only such men can lead.
Moving on to some qualities that best leaders serving in danger times or those facing a one battle winner take all scenario do not have. First reason not to choose a leader is popularity. Vanity driven popularity does not defeat wicked or evil.
Second qualification to be avoided for selecting a leader is “entitlement.” Past entitled Republican nominees like Dole, and McCain should be reason enough to not nominate RINOS’ nominee Romney. Moderates like Bill Kristol and most Fox Network chameleon conservative talk show hosts may be blinded by their own vanity, but most American voters are not as foolish.
Third qualification which should dismiss some potential Republican nominees is difference between being candidate of principles, and candidate for principals. RINOS tend to mostly be internationalists motivated by principal despite two eventually fatal consequences for America.
First internationalists are in return for mega profits willing to destroy America’s domestic manufacturing base which is one of cornerstones in any national security strategy. Second internationalists are willing to integrate America into an international house of cards economy. Contemporary times suggest Americans have two economic choices: save America’s economy at expense of world economy or sacrifice America’s economy to save world economy. Romney and Perry are both internationalists which should keep them from being any conservative’s choice for Republican nominee.
Some personal sins can be overlooked by conservatives as we all know Heaven’s Son is not running to be Republican Party’s nominee. Some political blunders like opposing Second Amendment, or creating blue prints for Obama’s healthcare should be sufficient reasons to take Romney off top of list. As for Perry’s known past of promising what you want to hear until after the election, then selling out to lobbyists should also be enough reasons to take scratch his name from top of lists.
Spoiled rich children are known for never losing their “terrible twos” tempers, not good quality for a President who can expect to have his mental disciple tested on hourly basis. One example of candidates not thinking or planning long term are practically all current nominees except one making debate circuit. Not included in even potential reality list is Obama’s surrogate candidate, and the other candidate who believes America lives in a utopia and can resolve all foreign threats by “submissively presenting” America to our enemies.
Translation primary process is about choosing nominee based on their potential abilities and skills. Candidates who are willing to destroy future Republican allies needed for victory in general election by destroying their opponents in primary elections would not a good leader make.
Texas Drifter’s entry in to primary election discussions, Gingrich would make a perfect Vice-President for America’s increasing troubling times. As for Presidential nominee, I say wait and let that selection be made at national convention. One thing none on current candidates have is experience writing personal letters to family members of citizens who lost their lives serving America under his command.
America’s future demands having a Commander-in-chief who has experienced and survived what some know as worst of worst. None of current Republican Party’s nominees have anything other than bad day at office experiences. I say America’s next great leader has yet to step out of shadows; perhaps he will do so at Republican Convention. Fact of life waiting for best is better than settling for less too soon. What think you my reader?
