the dark side of john mccain (a truly loathsome human being)

[spicysista]

54. I understand the OP.

There is an urgency to the suffering of those that yet live. Where to start: Children are still being separated, Flint (and too many other places) still doesn't have clean water, Nazis and white supremacists are feeling froggy, snap has been slashed like a murder victim in a b movie, the voting rights act is still in tatters, dolt45 & co is still running things, the scotus is about to undergo a civil rights "make-under"......and too much other crap to list.
As a member of a military family, I will always have a special place for those that have served the country. I'm all for acknowledging Sen. McCain's life's achievements. But we should not kid ourselves about who he is in relation to progressive causes. He's danced the nasty polka of bigotry and prejudice to suit his own political purposes. The first thing I learned of John McCain, as a child, was that he was one of the folks that did not support establishing the national MLK holiday. There'll be plenty of folks brushing over his bald spots when he dies. I'll not participate in lionizing him before then. He can have his day, then, when he's no longer among the living. Until then, there're other folks to highlight.

History!

Miracles !

Superwoman!

Surviving!
