Well, it takes guts to be a leader. "They will welcome us with open arms"~ Dick Cheney. You have to have some brass, to put that stuff out there.

Either way, you are going to have leaders. The question is: leading where?

One small, positive comment on Romney: He was filmed at a fund-raiser in Florida talking about the "culture of entitlement" that has engulfed, and paralyzed, so much of our society. It cost him dearly at the polls, I believe. What politician would have the nerve to talk about the 300-lb gorilla in the room?
