Romanoff Remarks on Courage and Leadership

"Courage means standing up for what you believe, even when somebody might take offense." -A. Romanoff

Kind of like believing in the Preamble of the Constitution, the most liberal quotation in the fewest words I have ever read. I'm sure that they inspire Romanoff as much as they do me.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

None of the things mentioned above have conservatives done well or for that matter had any intention of promoting or upholding. Regarding "Defence" their bread and butter, ha ha, the greatest breach of national security in our country's short history was due to the supreme incompetence of a Republican administration. The only apparent asset of the Republican party is the ability to strictly adhere to their motto, "If at first you don't deceive, lie, lie again." Hey, bearing false witness is no small matter, unless of course you're a Baptist.

The best kind of leadership? Leading by example, something that Romanoff has no trouble doing, he talks the talk and walks the walk.

"It is curious--curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."
