There are few politicians I have or would mourn for. So few have the one quality I find important to America, decency. That decency must encompass the whole spirit of what humanity must constitute. Love of man, truth, honesty, must all be part of the equation.
Then there are some that are alive today such as Senator Schumer of New York, a longtime senator who is in the forefront of human rights, compassion and decency that God forbid should pass, and I would mourn. This is not a political thing I’m talking about, but the role that a politician must play regardless of his social philosophy. It is trust that we must invest in a person that represents us to ourselves as a nation and to the World.
“It matters less that you fight, it matters more what you fight for”.
Those were the words of John McCain, a politician I am mourning. A man and hero authentically conceived of from decency, truth, and compassion, distilling throughout his life the qualities I revere in any man. From the cell in the Hanoi Hilton, the beatings and defiance of communism, to the failure to achieve the highest office in the land, he showed others what class and decency are. His acts of courage when offered a chance to leave the Hell-hole of Vietnam because he was the son of an admiral until his final vote of Obama Care showed it was all business, not ego, not self-interest as he refused to leave his fellow prisoners.
Decorated for his bravery and unselfishness, he set out to endure under great pain and torture the honor of serving his country. That service carried out throughout his career in both the service and in the Senate. He reached out to his opposition and opposition that respected him for his love of man, truth, and honesty. He turned his back on the dishonesty, hatred, and stupidity of this present administration.
