He wasn’t a perfect servant, he was a public servant on a perfect mission. He leaves our nation and the Democratic party a blueprint to accomplish that mission.
This is not a perfect party. We are not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission: to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked; to house the homeless; to teach the illiterate; to provide jobs for the jobless; and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.
We are gathered here this week to nominate a candidate and adopt a platform which will expand, unify, direct, and inspire our Party and the nation to fulfill this mission. My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected, and the despised. They are restless and seek relief. They have voted in record numbers. They have invested the faith, hope, and trust that they have in us. The Democratic Party must send them a signal that we care. I pledge my best not to let them down.. – Jesse Jackson, Democratic National Convention, 1984
It’s all about Don-Don, our degenerate baby man in charge.
I love Canada using Ronald Reagan to troll Donald Trump (see video in the link to Parnas Perspective below).
I heard something about the Toronto Bluejays trolling Trump with Reagan then saw the Parnas Perspective this morning.
Of course, Trump responded in his typical way.
I don’t hate Donald Trump, but I think he sucks at his job. He said he was going to drain the swamp but he made himself King of the Swamp Monsters instead.
I prefer a President who isn’t a pathological liar or an infomercial con-artist. In other words, I prefer every other United States President of my lifetime.
It took Donald Trump to make me appreciate Ronald Reagan. I hated Ronald Reagan. I believed in Reagan, then felt betrayed. Beirut and Iran-Contra deepened my sense of betrayal.
Donald Trump got me elected to public office. I never thought I was qualified to hold public office until Trump got elected in 2016. Trump made me realize anyone… anyone could get elected, if they had the right organization.
Democrats had a tendency not to show up for local elections, not to pay attention. In April 2017, Dems could barely wait for the opportunity to say NO to Trump. In conservative Vernon Township, where Republicans ran unopposed four years before, the Vernon Township Democratic slate started a Blue Wave that overturned Republican control of Lake County for the first time in almost 100 years.
After we won every contested office, Dems reduced the property tax levy and increased social services.
Four years later Democrats ran unopposed.
Trump made me nostalgic for the Hollywood Actor who knew how to play the part. As a public servant, I appreciated the validity of Reagan’s message that taxes could be reduced without hurting social services if we cut corruption and waste. On a local level, this proved true. It’s time again to hear his message about markets and for everyone to wake up and see that we have a corrupt incompetent President who uses his power to leverage pay-to-play and filling the deep dark hole in his soul with appeals to his vanity and ego.
He’s sick. I’ll pray for him, but I also think we should move past his failures and his enablers. It is time for Truth and Reconciliation. Let’s end these toxic policies and divisions that hurt our Republic.
We can yet be the shining city on a hill, instead of the gaudy status symbol of a degenerate, pathetic man.
