The Teaching of hypocrisy unto – perfidy – unto our younger generations becoming the norm. An example of what can happen is the non-fiction book “When Good Men do Nothing: The Assassination Of Albert Patterson” by Alan Grady. Patterson, who was nominated as Alabama attorney general in 1954, a World War 1 veteran crippled in battle, was shot and killed while leaving his office.

White House aide as he was ill and dying Kelly Sadler reportedly said of Senator John McCain’s opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel: “It doesn’t matter; he’s dying anyway.” Just another display of what trickles down from the personality in powder, as the president calls the ‘leakers’ traitors and cowards. I call them consciousness and human.

The President of the United States’ words, “I like people who weren’t captured,” speaking of John McCain, is a demonstration of the fact. The White House Chief of Staff refusing to apologize, unto this day, for the false attacks leveled against Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.) Something he will never do, not even for humanity’s sake, as he feels it’s a sign of weakness.  

There’s a wave of Republicans leaving Congress regardless of their reasons; it’s called abandoning the ship rather than standing up for the sanctity of The Preamble to the Constitution, “We The People.”      Our children are watching.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” Edmund Burke.
