Katie Pavlich asked Carly about her removal as CEO from Hewlett Packard. <br /><br />Carly made a very poignant point as her removal pertains to leadership. She says that she made enemies because she led by challenging the status quo. She had to make the difficult calls to do her job, to lead Hewlett Packard out of a recession. What I find particularly compelling is that she talked about how many so-called leaders will not challenge the status quo because they want to protect themselves from what ultimately happened to her. They will not be true to their calling; they will be politically correct at the risk of not doing their job so that they will not be punished or vilified. Even if her explanation is not completely representative of her being fired from HP, the concept is spot on. Many of the people who are elected/appointed to represent and lead us in government are failures because they put their need for power/prestige/money before the good of the people they represent. In other words they will not become martyrs for the good of mankind. Isn’t that the crux of what we are all called to be?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295216097759159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-26130584587340544322015-08-08T23:59:10.214-04:002015-08-08T23:59:10.214-04:00Thank you for the synopsis, Julie.

The questions she (and the other moderators) sometimes posed were "hard ball" (like Chris Matthews might ask as long as he is not sucking up to our narcissistic president) and contentious (not good journalism). While I do enjoy watching Megyn on Fox News most of the time, it seemed the debate was too much about her. She acted full of herself during the event and was disrespectful. Frankly I am surprised at how unprofessional some of the questions were. I also fault Chris Wallace and Bret Baier for their participation. I am displeased (to say the least) at the attack style. <br /><br />It was very unprofessional to goad Donald Trump, to try to make him blow up. It was a hit piece to force him out of the race, I think. The format, I would bet, was created by Roger Ailes and the Republican party who allowed subterfuge and contention to embarrass and destroy Trump's credibility: personal, financial, political and social. <br /><br />I am pleased that The Donald rallied even as I would not vote for a Trump administration because he does not espouse the Catholic tenets. I admire his tenacity. Given that we, Julie, have been given so much by having knowledge of the Truth and by receiving grace from Christ's sacraments, we have to be patient with those who have not yet been so converted by the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />Trump is a breath of fresh air compared to the secular humanists of the Democratic Party who worship the creature instead of the Creator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295216097759159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-56738680341814086612015-08-07T20:45:41.065-04:002015-08-07T20:45:41.065-04:00Just saw this on Pewsitter.com.

I would love to see Dr. Ben Carson, a deeply spiritual man, be put to use to reverse the damage the secular humanists have foisted on our culture.
