Why do Republicans re-elect the apocryphal, I’m not a crook?
Nonetheless, no reasonable person can believe the Democratic Party has been a consistent, or even honorable shield for, We the People, but its Center-Left lineup of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor & Elena Kagan, Bobby Kennedy, Bill & Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama reveal an evolution, more often than not, dedicated to an American Dream shared by all, regardless of skin color, sexual persuasion or even political party.
How long will Republicans defend the proposition of condemning those who fail to lock-step with Conservative sexual, religious and political mindset – while worshiping a president who violates women, isolates children and profanes all forms of religion, including Christianity?
How long will Liberals insist we were ever united or civil with each other – even after WWII yielded few Justice for All victories on the home-front?

When will Conservatives and religious zealots recognize the real 2018 American making his triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding an over-sized pig, amidst mesmerized cheerleaders applauding his violation of their God and our Country?
Instinctively, I sometimes recoil from Trump, longing to nullify the collective antagonists to American progress - but refusing to settle for less than the ideals of Presidents Josiah Bartlett and Andrew Shepherd - I shake off any cloning of hate’s desire for revenge – because I never want to see, those who cheer and applaud an administration ridiculing the physically challenged, sexually harassed and children suffering without the comfort of parents, reflected in my mirror.
