People WANT Leadership

“Monarchy can easily be "debunked", 

but watch the faces, 

mark well the accents of the debunkers. 

These are the men 

whose taproot in Eden has been cut -- 

whom no rumor of the polyphony, 

the dance, can reach – 

men to whom pebbles laid in a row 

are more beautiful than an arch. 

Yet even if they desire mere equality 

they cannot reach it. 

Where Men are forbidden to Honour A King, 

they honour millionaires, athletes, 

or film-stars instead -- 

even famous prostitutes or gangsters. 

For Spiritual Nature, like Bodily Nature, 

will be served -- 

Deny it Food and it will Gobble Poison.

(Article "Equality")”

― C.S. Lewis

When you lived among The Criminals, 

did you start to pity them?

The first time I stole so that I wouldn't starve, yes.

I lost many assumptions about 

The Simple Nature of Right and Wrong.

The American President (Know the Difference)

 Mr. President, I think we have to do this. 

AJ, she is one vote away. 

It's important legislation that for the first time has a legitimate chance. 

She deserves every opportunity... 

LEWIS: 

She? You meant "it," didn't you, sir? 

You meant the important legislation 

deserves every opportunity. - 

Lewis, shut up. 

You have something to say to me, Lewis? 

Respectfully, sir, I think we should examine the new poll for something more than... 

Examine what? 

They don't like that I'm going out with Sydney. 

It's not that simple. 

I think that this poll 

brings a murky problem 

into specific relief. 

Whose problem are we talking about, Lewis? Yours? 

You worried about losing your job? 

Because this poll isn't talking about My Presidency! 

This poll is talking about My Life! 

264 million people... 

264 million people don't give a damn about your life! 

They give a damn about their own! 

All right! That's enough! 

(SIGHS) 

Mr. President, you've raised a daughter --

almost entirely on your own, 

and she's terrific. 

So what does it say to you 

that in the past seven weeks 

59% of this country 

has begun to question your Family Values? 

The President doesn't answer to you, Lewis. 

Oh, yes, he does, AJ, I'm A Citizen. 

This is My President. 

And in This Country, 

it is not only permissible to question our leaders, 

it's our responsibility. 

But you already know that, 

don't you, Mr. President? 

Because you have a deeper love of this country than any man I've ever known, 

and I want to know what it says to you 

that in the past seven weeks 

59% of Americans have begun to question Your Patriotism? 

Look, if people want to listen to Bob... 

They don't have a choice! 

Bob Rumson is the only one doing the talking. 

People want Leadership, Mr. President, 

and in the absence of genuine Leadership, 

they'll listen to anyone who steps up to The Microphone. 

They want Leadership. 

They're so thirsty for it, 

they'll crawl through The Desert toward a mirage, 

and when they discover there's no water, 

they'll drink the sand. 

Lewis, we have had presidents who were beloved, 

who couldn't find a coherent sentence 

with two hands and a flashlight. 

People don't drink The Sand because they're thirsty -- 

They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.
