IMO we need a general more than we need a President...either that or Gandhi with a shillelagh...
In my mind, I would love to ask the spirit of President Reagan one question.
Mr. President, have we passed the point where we, or our children, can expect to have any profitable intercourse with our government? Are we now in that state of affairs, described on the Declaration, when a patriot’s duty is to throw off their government and provide new guards for their future security?
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429
I'd like to nominate this man for both!
