A preponderance of Americans believe (Click Here) that the Biden administration's soft and hard infrastructure proposals would dramatically help us survive the war, while intelligently benefiting America and the world's economy, climate, poor, workers, etc.
Nonetheless, newscasts and political pontificators consistently repeat that the failure to quickly pass this legislation is the fault of the Democrats. Some focus the shrinkage, slowness, or potential failure on two Democrats--Senators Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-D) and Joe Manchin (WV-D).
Hogwash! The fault lies somewhere in our developing dumbed-down national character that has failed to develop two or more Republican senators who will march forward with simple logical political acts in an era deeply in need of such commonsense courage.
Maybe if Senator John McCain were alive, we would only need another Republican senator to profile courage. Maybe if Senator Mitt Romney elbowed his vote into the orange man's stomach, who inspired the death, destruction, and bloodshed of January 6, he might be able to help start rebuilding a sane and humane Republican party.
Ernest Hemingway once referred to the 1955 Profiles in Courage as, "A book about the most admirable of human virtues - courage." Hemingway defined it as, "Grace under pressure".
Hmm? Grace under pressure" Which of our recent presidents would you define as exhibiting grace under pressure in their political stances? Which of them would you say is trying to lead their party in a sane and humane direction? Which would you like young voters to emulate as they go to war with an overwhelmingly more powerful adversary and grapple with the earth and mankind's future?
Have you asked your Republican friends and representatives to stand tall before too many humans and too much of Mother Earth falls? Do it now before Republicans again claim that sunspots are causing our climate problems.
Remember "Few things are scarier than an angry mother."
