NO GROWN-UPS AT THE HELM
The
American polity is showing growing signs of a lapse into immaturity.
Sobriety, accountability, responsible custodianship of the public good
are the earmarks of serious leadership in a healthy democracy. Their
common denominator is honesty – intellectual, political,
and – above all, to oneself in knowing who one is and why one is doing
things. These traits, today, are most remarkable by their absence from
the country’s leadership ranks. That is true from the President on down.
It encompasses not only our government officials
on a bipartisan basis but a very large fraction of our political class
as a whole.
