Please Pay Attention

Ralph Peters, who spent some time as a Fox news analyst after retiring from the US Army as a lieutenant colonel, has been publicly pointing fingers at Fox since announcing his resignation. Today he went in the other direction, making pointed and directed comments about Trump. For so many of us who are about the same age as Trump (72), Peters (66) and me (68), the state of the country is of paramount interest and importance. When Trump makes calls to make America great again, he is calling for a return to when Joseph McCarthy had the country calling for loyalty oaths and blacks and other racial minorities, women, the disabled, and the lgbt community were either disenfranchised or despised or both. Roy Cohn was a personal mentor to Trump and if you don't know who or what Cohn was, you would be well served by finding out.

Today Peters declared, "This is a distinctly un-American president who really doesn't seem to like America very much, certainly doesn't respect it. And he's a president who appears to be enthralled to a foreign power, a hostile foreign power."

Trumpettes, you need to decide if you want an America that lives up to its ideals or an America that does go back to Trump's childhood.

  1. Well said. But, too bad Peters didn't have the cojones to speak up when he was at Fox. Cohn was despicable.
