Leadership isn’t something that you can go to school and earn a degree in. Sure, you can hone your skills, but by and large being a leader is an innate ability. Some are simply born to lead. Well, turns out Democrats are looking to defy the laws of nature by offering courses – to folks who aspire to be in a position of leadership – how to lead on the issue of terrorism. See, just as being a leader is a part of the constitution of an individual, rather than a skill set acquired through experience, Democrats are trying to find a way to lead on the issue of national security; something most Democrats simply are not born with nor believe in.
