Our U.S.A. Needs a Real Candidate!: Let There Be a Time of Thanksgiving
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. offers his sage advice to the Presidential candidates who are currently playing schoolyardlike games of competitive political sports. “Both our republic, and the world as a whole,” he warns, “are in the present grip of a Classically, globally tragic situation. But for my age, I would be the only possible candidate who could actually be presently considered intellectually competent for the role which the next U.S. President must perform under these present, historically extraordinary conditions. So far, none of the present candidates has shown any grasp of the crucial, specific strategic quality of tasks of leadership, on which not only our republic, but on which civilization as a whole would depend, if the world as a whole were not already fated to be plunged, very, very soon, into a deep, and prolonged new dark age.”
