The recent anniversary of D Day made me sad to think of a few glaring contrasts that exist today

Back then we had politicians willing to say where they stood when it came to America's freedom and democracy.
Now, we have politicians who carefully craft their words so as to not upset insurrectionists in their party.

Back then you could count on many of our leaders to lay down their lives for this country.
Now, we have leaders who would not even put their political careers on the line, let alone their lives.

Back then you could count on our leaders to at least put on the appearance of morality and virtue.
Now, you can be a pussy- grabbing, twice- impeached, many- time- indicted man child who paid off a porn star; and still be a candidate for president.

Maybe it should be the Democrats saying "Make America Great Again".
