Just No Class

‘You know? I watched the Republican debates last night. Here we are, in the middle of a series of job interviews (and, mind you, that’s what these debates are) seeking a candidate to fill what is probably one of the highest and most important executive positions in the world, that of President of the United States of America, and the interviews are little more than a spectacle. Saturday Night Live couldn’t have been more ridiculous. The problem is (and it is a critically serious problem—of that you can be sure), it ain’t funny. Our very lives, the future of our nation, depend on our success in making the right decision in this matter—choosing the right person for this job. And what happens? The whole event was little more than a circus—an absolute spectacle—an unmitigated joke—just no class. Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you: You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Jesus said, “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces” (Matthew 7:6). If we want to be a leader in the world community, we must have the respect of those whom we expect to lead. A real leader, a successful leader, is one whom others follow because they want to follow—not because they are driven.
