Title: Senator John McCain Post by: Keepthefaith on September 01, 2018, 12:25:37 PM Although I don't/didn't agree with much of Senator John McCain's politics and/or policy, he ALWAYS had my RESPECT. May his character, integrity, and honesty permeate the Capitol, from here on out. AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT ::MonkeyAngel:: PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS TO THE McCain Family Title: Re: Senator John McCain Post by: Keepthefaith on September 01, 2018, 12:28:06 PM “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

Bush on John McCain: "He was honorable, always recognizing that his opponents were still patriots and human beings. He loved freedom with the passion of a man who knew its absence." Title: Re: Senator John McCain Post by: Keepthefaith on September 01, 2018, 01:11:49 PM "Literally every Washington power player -- Democratic and Republican, past and present -- is at McCain's funeral, except the sitting president, who is tweeting his grievances about the DOJ and FBI."
~Philip Rucker serve My last post and statement, in regards to this matter: At some point, my fellow Americans who voted for Donald Trump will hopefully take a quiet moment when they are in the bathroom, look in the mirror and reckon with what they have voted for. It is never too late to admit your mistake, as McCain did. It is never too late to right the ship, as McCain did. There is nothing more American than humbling ones self and admitting a decision and/or choice they made was a mistake that has hurt someone/something, as GREAT as America herself. Senator John McCain understood history and legacy better than most, as he comes from generations that have served our beloved country. The least the Republican Party can do is see there mistakes, look in the mirror and reckon with them, right the ship and move this country forward. This is the Republican Party's moment to do what's right (no pun intended). Now, let's see if they have it in their DNA to right the ship we call America............ |
