BUDARICK HITS THE EXACT NUB! | 2006-11-29

"Yea Bob, you will never be the Hitler we NEED."
"But Bob, you taught me not to worship Hitler, but rather to find the strength inside myself."
"There is no greater fear we have than to stand alone and trust our own authority."
ME:
There is so much packed into those three short sentences!
You know, it is fashionable for someone who is picked to be a leader, whether it is Pope or president of the local garden club, to say they are not the one who should be taking the lead. It is so routine that we do not see the importance of the people who MEAN it.
One of the funniest examples was when Mousilini made a speech saying he wanted to march on Rome and take over and straighten the whole mess out. It was like the campaign of 1992 when Ross Perot mentioned on America's least-watched cable interview, The Larry King Show that, yes, if people wanted him for president he would take the job. A couple of months later he had more votes in the polls than either of the main party candidates and he backed out.
So when Mousilini said, yes, if they march on Rome and make me dictator, I'll take the job, they got out there, marched, and he almost missed the whole thing.
I NEVER felt I should have had leadership forced on me. I am a creature of loyalty. From boyhood I hungered for a leadership I could follow, the old natural American leaders. I remember feeling a sort of panic: WHERE ARE THEY?
I should not have been taking leadership jobs when I was in my teens when I was surrounded by combat veterans of World War II who, in any other age, would have been the ones to lead. That is something I resented then and I resent it now. In any other generation of Americans, I could have been a young follower of my rebellious elders, as I had a right to be.
A young man should be allowed to be YOUNG first, not leap into leadership vacuums. That was a luxury I never enjoyed.
Budarcik says,
"There is no greater fear than to stand alone and trust your own authority."
Having ready rebellious elders was SUPPOSED to be the one trait that made a free-born America. Yet all I got from my elders was that I shouldn't do that, they were too wise to put themselves in that kind of trouble.
How in the HELL is a people supposed to be free if their biggest priority is "not getting involved?"
I wish each person here would think about Budarick's words, "Bob, you will never be the Hitler we NEED."
If you want to see what shape Germany was in when it needed Hitler, read up on it. Even Churchill wrote a letter to the London Times in the 1930s in which he said that, if Britain ever got in the shape Germany was in, there would be someone like Hitler to step forward and pull the country out of it.
But PLEASE don't let these mentions of historical incidents distract you from the CRITICAL points Budarick is making here.
Budarick is hitting on the critical nub here. I am not trying to take over at the head of some romantic torchlight parade. I am trying to show YOU how to TAKE ACTION. This is the way I have had to fight for fifty years, and I'm GOOD at it. You have to fill the vacuum the Weakest Generation left. You have to take action with each other on this gift of God to us we call the Internet and the other technology that already brought down the USSR.
They SHOULD.
They DON'T.
So we MUST.
