An interview with Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, who I consider one of the smartest academics we have today. He's an historian who reveals the old truism that if we forget our history, we are doomed to repeat it. Here he talks about the Bidden presidency and the reelection campaign. Buckle up, it's about an hour long, but well worth the time.
Oh, if only he and Thomas Sowell could navigate the ship for a while...
ReplyDeleteYou laugh, but thats one of the great conundrums of our world. The best and brightest so rarely become our leaders. Sure, smart folks get to the top, but they are usually psycopaths, or otherwise merely enriching themselves (*cough* Trump *cough*). We look to the men who founded this country with great reverence and awe, but even among them there was dispute about various topics, often times selfishly motivated (farmers, landowners vs. industry, etc.)
DeleteWhen I look at the group of people who are photographed and presented as our 'leaders' I don't see a reflection. I see a spoiled brat of a child who's parents failed at teaching them the real world, and through their personality and sheer will power, bend the world to fit their paradigm. I want to punch most of them square in the throat the instant they open their mouths....
It would be fascinating if not lethal for ao many people.
Agree with Bob!
