Remembering George McGovern

[sabrina 1]

3. I've come to the conclusion that the US has regressed regarding the vision and ideals

it claims to always be working towards.

There is a visceral hatred for anyone advocating for the poor, the elderly and disabled, for children and the sick, in this country that is imho, pathological.

People like McGovern and Kucinich are emotionally and intellectually and physically, very strong people. Those who oppose them if you notice, are generally weak, cowards who are filled with fear.

America is not yet ready for leaders like McGovern, we are in the throes of being ruled by a Corporate state with no meaningful resistance to the daily destruction of what we like to claim to be, but are not.

Maybe this period is necessary before there is a huge rising up against the current policies that have lost the US its moral authority and respect around the world, weakening it as a nation.

Signs of an awakening are beginning to surface, but it took a long time to get to where we are, and it will probably take a long time to get to where we ought to be.

McGovern was either here too soon, or too late. He would have been very in tune with those who wrote the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

I wish he had been president, but that was probably never possible in the current climate.
