Leadership

If according to Rush Limbaugh, the popular and influential conservative radio talk show host, the upcoming election will be all about immigration and taxes, why does the media keep focusing on the religions of presidential candidates - and whose is right? The imbecilic media enjoys pandering to citizen (and illegal) morons. What better proof of their foolishness of debating whether a presidential hopeful be a Christian or not; it was Jimmy Carter’s Christianity that helped him win the White House in 1976. And we know how America’s economy didn’t benefit from that commitment. Nor was it lifted from its malaise. In fact it led Carter down the road to pacifism in the face of non-Christian, Muslim terrorists.

The Mormons’ educational system aspires to show "the glory of God is intelligence." They appear to have a better grasp of the purpose of religion (and education) than either the Christians or the Muslims. Agnostics and atheists probably agree with the cynical writer and satirist, Mark Twain that even though some Christians think they hold the 4 aces (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John the evangelists), they still don’t provide all the answers to the meaning of life. Mark Twain’s darker thoughts delved into this territory. Of course, fibs by liberals also produce intellectual death, so where are we left when it comes to evaluating presidential hopefuls? Experience with religion? Religious experience will not necessarily build solid character exemplified by good judgments. Seems to me intelligence asks for facts and then common sense provides the nerve center of leadership.
