I was recently talking with a friend just before the 2024 presidential election and we were discussing politicians and who was qualified and who was not.
And they were adamant that a qualified person to be in and run government was someone with "qualifications" I.E. "They were trained" and "qualified" to be in government. Like a special class of American I asked?
And that statement is an example of exactly what leadership in government is not in America and must never be. There is leadership, there is diplomacy and then there are "experts" in their fields that leadership might consult with before they make a decision and interpretation about the direction that the country will be going. Three very different things.
And now we get down to specifics and we look at the two most controversial picks by the new leadership in America that clearly has an incontrovertible political mandate from a majority of the American people. R.F.K. jr., and Matt Gaetz.
Both men are very familiar with government and have both been involved in it in some significant manner both professionally and politically and they both have their issues no doubt. And both are perceived with good reason as being on the more extremist the barn is rotten, burn the barn down and build a new and improved one. And that is what leadership also sees as being necessary.
But that is not really the point. The question is who is qualified by design to be in government and in leadership in America?
Is a surveyor qualified to be in a leadership position in American government? Is a farmer, an actor, a construction magnate and or TV / movie star qualified to be in government in the leadership position in America? Are these kinds of people "qualified" to lead America? I would say yes, exclusively.
People seem to forget from where and from what America is formulated by design. Capital "L" Leadership in America is a function of the people and that is from where leadership must come from.
A surveyor and farmer, George Washington, along with several other above average Americans, all former subjects of a King, with a strong Constitutional vision structured and founded America. And of course, we have two others, Ronald Reagan was a Hollywood actor and Donald Trump a successful developer and TV star were all in the executive leadership positions and lead America. To the better or worse is an argument you might quibble about.
Example: Woodrow Wilson and Barak Hussein Obama both high minded, trained and more Left leaning indoctrinated academics. How did that work out for you? At some levels lessons in what not to do in the American leadership position? One extreme political agenda and action results in its counter balanced extreme reaction. This is our system; this is our process.
The point is that American leadership in particular is not a function of being a "professionally" trained or being an educationally indoctrinated ideologically politician and leader. That can only result in what we have all just witnessed where a desperate political party attempted to usurp the Democratic system with the help of radical zealots in the media and install a clearly in all metrics an inferior facade candidate into the leadership position. And that is truly the road to authoritarian hell.
Leadership is visionary, is superior and leads in America as per the Constitution and the American people and their choices. Diplomats and "experts" are inferior and serve leadership and leaderships choices, agenda and direction. And over time that equation can be perverted, corrupted and turned around 180-degrees and must be destroyed and fundamentally reformulated and dragged back to the middle more rational balance point. We are at that moment in time in America today.
So, are RFK jr. and Matt Gaetz qualified to serve leadership? Leadership elect thinks so. They will bring about that badly needed destruction of that 180-degree turned around currently perverted and corrupted system. And in two and four years the people will comment on the results of leaderships and their choices.
Note: True leadership is not something that can be taught as might be proposed by some. You might be able to teach elements of it, but true leadership is not for sale and cannot be bought. True leadership is an innate quality or human condition that combines vision and drive that someone naturally possesses and rises to.
True leadership is not for everyone.
