Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. — Octavia Butler.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has only wanted power but lacks both the courage and intelligence to be worthy of it. The New York Times reported on his lack of fitness today when he gave a speech in New Hampshire.

On the one hand, he joined conservatives in decrying systemic racism as a “left wing myth.” He voiced support for their offensive against critical race theory, the latest boogeyman for Republicans. On the other, He had to do this while also talking about the man who tried to have him killed, the former president in which the systemic racism in the nation empowered.
