The Bullet of Leadership: Greatness
As Prime Minister, the great Englishman Winston Churchill turned England’s darkest days of World War II into their “finest hour.” His great speeches are as lightning bolts against the dark backdrop of tragic world events. I find myself yearning for such a man to lead our nation.
In fact, however, is such a man on the horizon? I am hard pressed to offer up the name of one present-day American whose life towers as granite in the comparative quicksand of national leadership. Many of us are realizing afresh the unheeded warnings that there is a crisis of leadership not only in America, but in all nations.
Regardless of the politics of the following men, they bore the stamp of greatness in the history of our nation … Washington, Henry, Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, MacArthur and so many more. Oh, that “their breed” would return!
