I write to all Americans under fifty-years-old, pleading on behalf of all Americans under thirty-years-old who don't know the trouble we, and they will see, if we fail to unite, to actually embody the truths we've claimed to be since Lincoln's emancipating Gettysburg Address.
Current Financial Truths:
Inflation at lowest point in 2 1/2 years
Unemployment rate below 4% for longest time since 1960s
American economy defies Recession predictions
Yet, our post-Watergate loss of faith in government, most Americans are in voter accountability denial regarding the Governors, members of Congress and Presidents we elect.
We 2023 Americans need to recapture the best within us to alleviate both our inner turmoil, for reality check on our individual responsibility for it.
Perhaps President Kennedy's physical, intellectual and political courage might inspire us: to thy own Constitution, be true.
August 1943 - saving his crew after PT-109 was sunk by enemy destroyer.
April 1961 - endured CIA betrayal
October 1962 saving world from Cuban nuclear Missile Crisis despite General Curtis LaMay & others disobeying his orders
Joe Biden isn't as youthful, witty or charismatic as our thirty-fifth, forty-six-year-old president, but despite being born with a stutter, the death of his first wife and daughter and the loss of his forty-six-year-old son Beau to Brain Cancer, our 46th president remains an intellectually savvy, emotionally calm and politicly steady negotiator with a respectful embrace of both Constitutional law and his Roman Catholic faith - in the face of America's enemies within, and the foreign demagogues they choose to imitate. And, like Presidents Carter and Clinton, President Biden remains committed to a two-state solution in the Middle East.
In the 1860s, Lincoln was challenged to save America. In the 1960s, Kennedy was challenged to save the entire world - and both made the ultimate sacrifice to fulfill their oath to do so.
These presidents earned our respect, gratitude and Hail to the Chief.
In stark contrast, the 6 January 2021 domestic terrorism by gullible MAGA insurrectionists programmed to destroy American democracy, stains our American Dream with Right-Wing religious hypocrisy in a faux patriotic cesspool too akin to that of Ordinary Men who were willing to shoot German Jews, to camouflage their cowardice.
It is for honest, reasonable voting patriots to alleviate our inner turmoil by exorcising from our nation's bowels any violent pretense of American patriotism.
