Fakes, Phonies, and Frauds

Lt. Col. Allen West pens another missive about leadership. A high standard of leadership has been missing in America as the good Colonel gives an eagle’s eye view of a country led by charlatans who have betrayed the public trust, regrettably as “our Great Republic has ended up being governed by lesser men, and women.”
To some readers who may believe I have put LTC West on pedestal, it is because those individuals have lost faith in virtuous leadership. I believe in the advent of statesmen of virtue, honesty and integrity and that other moral statesmen like LTC West will appear on the horizon now that our fellow countrymen and women are crying out for principled leadership to take our nation back from the brink.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
Greek Philosopher, Plato 429-347 BC
Greetings fellow South Florida riders, South Floridians, and Americans, here we are for another monthly installment of our Wheels on the Road (WOTR) political assessment. As this issue hits I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas……sorry, I am a traditional Southern fella that does not get this “Holiday” stuff.
Last month I discussed our being one year away from the most critical mid-term elections our Nation may ever know. We defined the difference between conservative and post-modern liberal political ideologies. In this past month we saw two very interesting Gubernatorial elections, well some of us missed them as WH Spokesman Robert Gibbs said the President was watching basketball. In case he still does not know the Republicans won in New Jersey and Virginia.
We are about to close out what has been an incredibly tumultuous year, the first under Emperor Obama…..townhall in China, give me a break!
I truly believe that it is necessary to consider Plato’s timeless quote and ponder, how does it apply to the elections of 2010?
