| Bad Men, Good Presidents |
| 2018-08-22 |
| With the continuing hysteria about Donald Trump's presidency, a few questions come to mind. The first: Can a bad man become a good president? The second: Does one's being a good man guarantee he'll be a good president? Third: Does having a good president require a good man? Is there any evidence of Lord Acton's argument that "great men are almost always bad men"? |

| #6 Ask the Israeli Juice what a great man he was Or read "Guests of the Ayatollah", Mark Bowden's account of the Iran hostage crisis. I guarantee that no matter what your opinion of Jimmuh is now, you will think less of him after. |

| #3 Mr. Carter thought he was a good man. What he actually was, and still is, is a typical bigotted Progressive wrapped in the smug and sanctimonious piety of the Church Lady. |

| #2 Jimmy Carter was a good man and he was the second worst President of our times. LBJ was a terrible man, and he was also a terrible President. |

| #1 I have a tendency to agree with Lord Acton on this. Every time we have a war, the bad men win it for us and the good men lose the peace. Remember what George Orwell said: "Good men sleep well at night because rough men stand ready to do violence in their behalf" |
