When I observe the machinations and manipulations of the Republican Leadership, i.e., Beohner, McConnell, Ryan Cantor, etc., as they jockey for political power and the promoting of their own self interest, I cannot help recalling what Reinhold Neibuhr, political philosopher of the twentieth century wrote in Moral Man And Immoral Society, “The stupidity of the average man will permit the oligarch whether economic or political, to hide his real purposes from the scrutiny of his fellows and to withdraw his activities from effective control” We need only to look backward to the eight years of Bush-Cheney to recognize the truth of Neibuhr’s statement. And No, it takes “a head in the sand” to generate any nostalgia for Bush-Cheney. May they slip quietly away to be remembered no more!
