The Leader Will Create a More Perfect Union--Hooray!
The Leader spoke to some very lucky folks today in Philadelphia--unfortunately, I was not one of them, as I had to tend the counter at the library today (boo!). The Leader spoke, in his own words, of "forming a more perfect union." The sheer hope that that singular statement inspires in me is almost too much to bear!
The Leader recognized that our white, slaveowning, money-grabbing founding fathers (none of whom were native Americans like the Indians!) were imperfect and created a Constitution for the benefit of rich white men only;
"...a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time. And yet words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States. What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part – through protests and struggle, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience and always at great risk - to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time."
The Leader is right--we need a Civil War to right the wrongs of our ancestors. A bloodless, peacable civil war. I love the Leader!

Humbled to Discuss the Leader
I am truly honored--and humbled--to be able to share my thoughts, insights, hopes and dreams about The Leader on this blog. I must thank my new friend for inviting me to participate--you see, we were once enemies, he being Klingon and myself being Romulan. However, The Leader has united us and brought peace to our warring factions.
All Hail the Leader! The Leader is Great!
