Remember When Great Leaders Were Hailed Because They Did Something?.....

All the great leaders of this country and of the world are defined as 'great' because they accomplished great things. They did something that made life better in some way - whether it be freeing the slaves, winning a war, building a superhighway system, etc.

I just can't fathom how Repubs of today can justify doing nothing and accomplishing nothing and being proud of it - and yet consider themselves great leaders.

What kind of legacy is that? Is this how they want history to remember them?

I'm sorry - I just don't get it.
