Weekly Brief
A credible and intelligent Opposition speak of making the Philippines a GREAT nation at any cost.
In review and in prospect
The Philippines, like that proverbial Grade 1 kid wants to be a great nation when she grows up. The question is, how do Filipinos go about building that great nation? Any politician can promise the Filipino greatness by the time his or her term ends in 2028. What sets apart the men from the boys, one would think, is the ability to articulate how to get there. If politicians who are making a bid for office in the coming elections are unable to articulate that how-to-get-there roadmap to greatness then how in the world can they even presume to lead an entire people to greatness?
If a new Opposition is to come across to the public as non-tard, it will have to show a way forward that is clear on what it takes to be a great people. Look across the globe and back through history and only a small handful of truly great countries stand out. These are countries that achieved great things and hosted societies of people who refused to be victims. They are peoples that took control — in both the good and bad senses of that term. If what is said of wealth is true — that behind every great fortune is a great crime — the same could be said of a great country. Behind every great country is a great atrocity.
For now let’s reflect on that fact and think about whether this is something we Filipinos have a stomach to take into account when we chart our course to greatness. More importantly, Filipinos should think about whether the sort of leader they want to see come to power is the sort of leader who would not balk at the reality of what it takes to achieve that greatness.
The Opposition have a choice — continue working within the frame of the sissy ideology the Yellowtards and communists propagate or put forth a platform of courage and boldness that is clear on what it takes to be a great people.
