Where Are the Great Leaders Today Like Those in the Past

Teddy to LBJ

These were great American leaders with visions about the future and good for the country, and they all had mostly good results:

•  Teddy gave us a “Square Deal.”

•  FDR offered a “New Deal.”

•  Truman had a “Fair Deal.”

•  JFK saw a “New Frontier.”

•  LBJ worked for a “Great Society.”

The GOP changed course dramatically under House Speaker Gingrich, et al during the Clinton era with their harsh resistance, rhetoric, and tone while offering “No Deal.”

The present day GOP is petty, callous, cruel, and sustains a hard-line partisan stance with a “Raw Deal.”

We never heard about government shutdowns, stopping progress, secession of states from the Union, and going to war so easily as we see and hear today. The anxious beat of drums about going to war again in the Middle East is very disturbing.

This letter, written by a Retired Navy Officer, is a must read.

Now today, we also see and hear more raw politics backed by massive amounts of money from a handful of millionaires and billionaires trying to buy and own the country. The GOP projections for our future is based their desire to win anyway possible and control the entire Congress and then the White House starting with the November midterm elections and then after the 2016 presidential race. 

Their motto if that were to happen and based on recent activities by the Grand Old Party would be: 

“Our Deal or No Deal”
