————————————————————————<\/p>\n

In a recent speech, the president of Hillsdale College, Dr. Larry Arnn<\/a>, said that many of the people leading the country today have not “read the books and thought the thoughts” that the Founders considered necessary to lead the America republic, and as a result they say and write imbecilic things.\u00a0 Dr. Arnn is an intellectual man of letters.\u00a0 The informed sensibility that emanates from him seems almost involuntary, an indicator of his virtuosity in classical liberal subjects.\u00a0 He makes an old man feel like a young student again.\u00a0 Anyway, in this speech linked above, no time or words go by without deep importance and mental efficiency.\u00a0 No opportunity to educate is spared.<\/p>\n

As would-be statesmen, the leadership of the Republican Party need to study Dr. Arnn closely.\u00a0 While I commend the organizational results achieved by Republicans in Elbert County, and while efforts to defeat leftist politicians must remain a central focus for a freedom loving people, the political process must be about more than musical chairs.\u00a0 Values and philosophies animate this endeavor.\u00a0 The failure of the 2010 Elbert County Republican County Assembly to produce any political resolutions is a serious flaw.\u00a0 No one spoke up from the floor to put a shared value or matter of political importance on the table for public discussion and debate.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, the conduct of the assembly was orderly, amicable and efficient.\u00a0 On the other hand, without resolutions or floor contributions, the assembly lacked soul.\u00a0 A body cannot survive without a soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
