Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

[Rajoo]

This is really worth reading IMO. Totally encompasses what today's GOP is and stands for. I am not particularly a fan of Cuban but his synopsis hits home.

MARK CUBAN: I want to be a Republican — but the party has one big problem

In his Tuesday Cyber Dust post, Cuban also reflected on the meaning of leadership:

Leaders don't conform to the consensus. They create consensus to their vision and goals.

Leaders don't change their positions mid debate. They welcome scorn from the masses because it creates the opportunity for dialogue.

Leaders don’t look backwards to condemn what has already been done, they look forward to create a better future.

Leaders are not dogmatic. They are principled and know that change is never easy, but when it's necessary, they must lead.

The Republican Party does everything possible to discourage leadership.

They want dogma.

They want conformity.

They want to conserve their romanticized past.
