WHAT DOES A LACK OF LEADERSHIP COST US?

I have posted many articles about grappling for excellence and for on team leadership.I wanted to bring this to light how important it is that we develop leaders in this world.

As a Viet-Nam era Marine I remember all of the events of the day, unfortunately most of our politicians and policy makers do not.

We have gone out of the business of Winning Wars and reconciling to the threats of others. We have had a government that has worked for all of these many years. Why have we melted to the level that we are at today.

As a security guard in Bogota, Colombia , I watched lines of hundreds of people trying to get into this country. They revered the opportunity to come to a place where they had hope and the opportunity to improve their lives and the lives of their families. I saw this as a 19 year old and I understood how valuable our freedom and the opportunities we had are.

We have gone to excellence to outsource to make money at the expense of being a quality producer in the world economic society. We ship our work to foreign countries to save a few dollars and at what expense. We can't communicate with the people who are supposed to give us service. It is not their fault they are trying to make a living.

It is our fault we know better we have seen quality , and opportunity and freedom and have free speech and the opportunity to make our lives better. What are we thinking about.

I have captured a You Tube Video of Newt Gingrich which I would like to share with you.

I urge you to look at the vast problems that we are enduring in this country today and tell me where our leadership is. What are you willing to settle for. What are you willing to subject your children to.

I served this country in the USMC and I expect everyone to do their part. I have worked over 40 years and Social Security is in danger. I have contributed for that long what kind of nonsense is that.

I think we are seriously sticking our head in the sand, so that we can get by, what a shame. If those people in Colombia had to wait two years to get into this country and were ready to do it for the opportunity. Why can't we make those who have not earned the right to be citizens because they have not done it legally to do the same.

I think it is baloney and I am not ashamed to say it. We have adopted cowardice and political correctness, the same thing as our mantra.

I am speaking on my own and I have a lot more to say but am looking for your excuses to listen to so that I can get a perspective on why we are willing to let this GREAT COUNTRY the USA go down in defeat again in Iraq. Ridiculous, We have been there before. It needs to stop. Either go into the battle with the expectation of winning and producing a better entity or don't stick your nose in it at all.
