Meeting Of The Minds
"Great minds think alike"
I cannot find who quoted it first but it is a great statement. There is a certian feeling of superiority in saying it. It provides that protection of the herd and the ability to be included in a group without much contribution. I have come to discover that it may also apply to minds that are not so great. One has only to look at the mass finger point that goes on every day to determine where these great minds focus their great thinking power.
I had a breakfast discussion this weekend and the topic of Bill Clinton came up. We had 6 at the table and all but one of us thinks that Bill Clinton was of little benefit to America. Other than corrupting our morals, lying to Americans, letting foreign policy become a joke, humiliating our military and letting terrorists think they had a chance, there was not much that he did. Oh wait, he put welfare reform in place and kept his hands off of Ronald Reagan fiscal policies. He at least did that. The 6th person at the table started out attacking our current President. Now I know that George Bush has made mistakes but he is no Bill Clinton. Our 6th person started talking about the deficit and how much is being spent on wasteful things. Like George Bush controls either of those things. He does not spend the money, that is the job for Congress.
George Bush has his own issues that I do not think are sound. His immigration reform, his senior citizen drug policy, and not trumpeting his victories. None of these create the joke that was our former President but our country of great minds still see Bill Clinton as a great man. His PR machine sure did one on the citizens of our country. Of course that is the ego of the man. If I cannot do anything to create a legacy, I will have the press do it for me. That is the mark of a true leader. So great minds do think alike. Just ask them.
