Michael,
Your quote of Max Weber reminds me of something you said in Freedom Betrayed, along the line that it is only appropriate that America’s leaders be mediocre. Reagans don’t come along every election, nor should they. In a relatively libertarian society, that makes sense.

Under an increasingly intrusive government and expanding bureaucracy, we’ll need more than just a Reagan. We’ll need a congress too with a few sets between them to reign-in State (and the teachers’ unions and the ACLU and the USGBC and and and.)

But hope may be on the way! Why, just look at who McCain and O’Bama have as advisors in Foreign Policy.
