<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 4754, member: 655&quot;]It&#039;s hard to imagine what &quot;leaders&quot; of today deserve any &quot;aura of greatness&quot;.&nbsp; For one thing, politicians are not our leaders, they&#039;re the hired help who can&#039;t seem to keep to their places.&nbsp; For another, the only way any of this current crop of politicians could be called &quot;great&quot; is if the word precedes the term &quot;con artist&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The only man in Congress who qualifies as a statesman rather than a politician is Dr. Ron Paul of Texas.&nbsp; That &quot;aura of greatness&quot; for politicians is purely an artifice of the mass media.&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the biggest problems we have in this country is the culture of celebrity the media has built around politicians and which TV addicted Americans have fallen for hook, line and sinker.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Sadly, the only thing most of today&#039;s &quot;leaders&quot; deserve is a prison sentence.&nbsp; A bigger bunch of unindicted crooks than the current crop in American politics would be hard to find.&nbsp; I&#039;m in favor of giving all of them what they so richly deserve, but that wouldn&#039;t be any aura of greatness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
