If we had a Fearless Leader:
Possessed of the malevolence and Certainty of a Nixon/Kissinger
The intellectual acumen and Policy-wonk talents of a Bill Clinton (but runnin stuff by polls of the ovine)
The collective IQ of a Prescott Bush clan (OK - forget That one - redundant)
The 'Conservative' (make that Reactionary) set-in-concrete total unimaginitiveness of a Hoover
The charisma of a JFK (before Bay of Pigs and realizin.. that the Joint-Chiefs set him up - and he did dumbth)
The judicial brilliance of a Justice Thomas + the Machiavellianism of the current SC-5 Presidential Selectors
... all molded into one Humongous Ego.
Way I see it, and takin a leaf from the Believers amongst us:
Gawd takes care of the weak- (willed, minded, whatever). She kinda helps them muddle through, whereas She can't get a Word in edgewise.. amongst the Ones Who are Certain They Know Stuff.
There... feel better :-)
