There are those American leaders who if they had only lived would have made such a difference in an age where they would be needed. Tellingly, two American Generals both did not live beyond their first year in one being President Zachary Taylor.
"Zachary Taylor had died, leaving behind him a name that will always be remembered among our people. He was neither a great statesman nor yet a great commander; but he was an able and gallant soldier, a loyal and upright public servant, and a most kindly, honest, and truthful man. His death was a greater loss to the country than perhaps the people ever knew."
Theodore Roosevelt. Thomas Hart Benton
This era began with the ascention of one of the most non accomplished Presidents in Tyler attaining office by the death of President Harrison. and then followed by political animals like Buchanan and then Polk, all democrats who were in this era outshown by the leading United States Senators, in Henry Clay of Kentucky, Daniel Webster of Massachusett, John C. Calahoun of South Carolina and Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri.
When America required leaders to deal with her becoming a Western power, after Andrew Jackson, a lackluster Martn Van Buren and was added in that era by Franklin Pierce in leaders who were more suited to cosmopolitan politics than leadng an America facing the British Empire, Mexico as a situation, nullification and the need to birth this Western child called America from the eastern crib.
This period was the doldroms of American political structures which could only be matched by the machinations which followed after Ronald Reagan's global changing Adminstration in like manner of Bush41, William Clinton, Bush43 and Birther Obama all attempting to be Ronald Reagan, as the above all attempted to be Andrew Jackson, and all by being frauds to the name, exasperated the national trauma in their compounding issues. They were as if American had sneezed and their medicine was to bleed the patient while soaking them in a cold lake for a week. It was no wonder that a Civil War was unleashed.
It requires a resolute, moral and strong leader to deal with the nabobs of the worst forms in corporate and governmental functions, and to inspire the mob to the path they have already chosen.
No one can remember anything that was accomplished during the post Jackson era, and no one will recall the Presidents and occupants of the post Reagan era, because of all the harm they inflicted.
Zachary Taylor was such a man who if he had survived, would have set about a policy of expansion under the firm rule of peace by a martial force not necessary to be used. Providence though for it's own reasons, saw fit to end Zachary Taylor and to usher in the worst political machinations ever until the time of Birther Obama Chin, and what service was there but an Abraham Lincoln which lanced the national boil to go septic for 4 years in holding together a nation no longer a nation.
President Taylor would have held the Union together by force of arms, which was then projected to a later date manifestation.
America's great problems occur when a period of time elapses to a generation or two when there has been absolutely no leadership. In the breach of the 21st century, there should have been a Washington, Taylor, Theodore Roosevelt or Reagan to save America, but instead the treachery of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt manifested in Barack Hussein Obama Chin.
America has always been provided a Savior by God, but this time America chose a faux messiah to her utter ruin.
Zachary Taylor is the exact man who America needs, but only God knows if such a man or woman is in the hinterlands to save the American corpse. Sarah Palin was chosen, but she is no more an American, but now is an asset of the cartel.
I will that Americans will not forget this war hero in Taylor, in Indian Wars in the Midwest, Florida and the Mexican War. America needed him, but it was not to be.
Americans do need to come to terms that there might not be a Ronald Reagan who God will raise up as judgment has come.
