Statesmen are rare, but they are there. George Bush, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld. The anti-American media hates them daily, while populists resent any and all statesmen because it challenges their ignorant proposition that the political process itself is evil.

Statesmen are people who emerge from their contemporary noise with a legacy enhanced (Nixon turning around the Cold War, or Reagan WINNING it.)

One requires clear and unrevised insight (not to mention solid grounding in PRINCIPLE) to recognize them in their own time. And looking through the Democrats' Leninist fog has made it harder than ever in this era.

Statesmens' work, however, saves the world and survives the contemporary chatter, while revisionism eventually washes away. Suffice it to say that the enemy media has tried like hell to manufacture a hero from the remnants of the criminal Clinton, and it hasn't worked for them...
