Huntsman on National Security
Over at CNN we have Republican Presidential Candidate, Ambassador Jon Huntsman, writing about national security. It is an interesting and innovative look at national security.
That's a very presidential treatise, and well said. It's unfortunate that only the buffoons seem to catch the Republican candidate headlines. We desperately need this kind of discourse in our election politics, and an alternative to the dead-end we're heading down under present conditions.
I am not certain that there is any relationship, let alone correlation, between politics and intellect. Huntsman is a rarity in the modern world of Federal government. Unfortunately, he posits the things that are not politically expedient or palatable among the self serving "intelligentsia" who purport to know what is good for the rest of us poor uninformed wretches. Original thought is one of Huntsman's best characteristics as opposed to the total absence of original thought in any of his competitors, R or D.
The Sheeple will speak in a year and their voice will bleat for more government supplied care and entitlements, all the while completely oblivious to the wolves at the gate.
