Carly Fiorina: 'People Of Faith Make Better Leaders'
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 11/23/2015 10:13 am
On Friday night, seven Republican presidential hopefuls gathered around a fake Thanksgiving table in Des Moines, Iowa, for a "Presidential Family Forum" hosted by The Family Leader, an influential Religious Right organization headed by Bob Vander Plaats. Moderator Frank Luntz promised the event would be an "adult conversation" about the issues important to the conservative Christian activists in the audience and the candidates bent over backwards to appeal to these voters, with Carly Fiorina declaring at one point that all the people on stage, as well as all the people in the audience, "are people of faith who love our God" and that is important because "people of faith make better leaders." "I do think it's worth saying," Fiorina declared, "that people of faith make better leaders because faith gives us humility, faith teaches us that no one of us is greater than any other one of us, that each of us are gifted by God. Faith gives us empathy; we know that all of us can fall and every one of us can be redeemed. And faith gives us optimism, it gives us the belief that there is something better, that there is someone bigger than all of us. And so I think it's important that we elect a leader of faith and that we elect a leader, as well, who knows that more prayer, not less, is necessary in public life and in all our lives."

Seriously, she is the poster child of corporate management and the thinking that is helping to destroy the nation.

In America, where faith-based . . . everything . . . . rules the roost, it's ALL about the narrative of making WASPs believe they're better than (insert boogeyman, racial slur, ethnic slur or maligned class here)s.
Without that, Fox Newz and Hate Radio Inc. wouldn't be able to hypnotize our elderly, suburbanites and rural citizens by and large.
