Isn't It Time We Have a President Again Who Accepts His Responsibility and Doesn't Pass the Buck?.../

Leadership is so much more than just having the authority to order (demand) change. It is more about these four important characteristics. 1) Vision 2) Motivating people to accept and achieve your vision. 3) Accepting responsibility for the outcome of your decisions. Good or bad. 4) Adjusting and changing course after asking for and receiving HONEST input from key people when you make a mistake.

Donald J. Trump has failed miserably on ALL four parameters of leadership. Why? Simply because he is not a leader. The Lincoln Project  points out specifically how Trump has failed miserably in acc3epting responsibility.

June 6, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released an ad exploring how in the hours before Allied troops prepared to storm the shores of Normandy in France, General Dwight Eisenhower took a moment to put words to paper just in case their mission failed.
As Supreme Allied Commander, Eisenhower understood that if D-Day landings failed, the responsibility would be on him. He understood and accepted that fact.
The Normandy invasion led to Germany’s defeat less than a year later. Eisenhower in command, both as commander of Allied forces and President of the United States was marked by courage, responsibility and dedication to America.
“In America, ultimately responsibility for our federal government rests with the President of the United States,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “Regardless of the failure, President Donald J. Trump tells us again and again ‘No, I don’t take responsibility at all.’ ’’
“It’s time again for America to elect a leader as president,” said co-founder John Weaver.

    Are you seriously suggesting that senile, creepy, corrupt, 80 year old Joe Biden would be an improvement?

    I still have an 'I Like Ike' button. Then, starting with Nixon, the older I got, the less conservative.
    For whatever reasons, the reverse of what usually happens. Eisenhower was not only experienced and
    comfortable with momentous decisions, he brought from his youth at West Point the idea of service and
    Duty, Honor, Country. After being cowed by his Defense Secretary, Attorney General(!) and US Chief of
    Staff regarding the us of combat troops against citizens, His Orangeness must be in a deep funk, the
    sole non-looozer in the whole country. Even the Godly Pat Robertson was astounded. When the pimple on
    the ass of Christianity speaks-the RW Evangelicals listen. I still like Ike...

    LL, you've in the past written against Dems for failing to accept responsibility for mistakes they've made. This post is about that... responsibility. Does President trump have any responsibility for the way things are in the country right now, or is he, as he has said, blameless?

    Or are you like the rest of the right wing rabble and just unwilling to apply your previous standard?

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic.

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
