A succession of high posts and a seemingly reserved demeanor over a lifetime give a veneer to the career of a well-regarded individual that should have made him virtually indestructible to the records of history.

Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, comes to mind. While retaining the forms of the Roman Republic, he concentrated a great deal of power in himself, and made Rome over into the empire that endured long after his passing (Pax Romana).

George H.W. Bush, was a similar American version of Caesar, in that he held a considerable degree of power, and was succeeded by men of lesser stature, including his own son.

For me #41 was equally as bad as #39.

I never even knew about his book. I’ll have to pick it up.

Although I know how it ends and the basic jist of it. The CCP is the actual ruler of the planet.

We as a political party talk all the time about our rise up against our enemy domestic on the coasts without even considering that we should be rising up against our enemy foreign in Asia.

He stood by and let the ChiComs run over their people with tanks, all in the name of preserving cheap labor.

The Party owes him an enormous debt.

41’ declines to run in 92 and he would have won out as an undisputed statesman. Picking Quayle didn’t help his legacy.

He picked Quayle to destroy him.

Just like McCain picked Sarah Palin.
