Is there any other commentary to be made about Politics other than sad?
Yesterday a wonderful person, a fine human being and a true hero (not a sports “hero”) was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The first paragraph of the AP article reads as follows: “In a ceremony that mixed pain, pride and determination, President Barack Obama on Wednesday awarded the Medal of Honor to a young Army Green Beret who saved his patrol by holding off a Taliban ambush in a snowy Afghan valley two winters ago.”
Now begins my Sad Commentary...
Image via WikipediaWhat if this wonderful person had survived the war and returned home and was now running for political office. I shudder to think of all the muck that would be in the process of being hurled at this wonderful person by his opponents. Depending on how diligent the Muckrakers were, one of the mucks might even be true.
Would I kid u?
