I dunno, I’ll bet you have Spanish blood in you.... From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Monday, October 10, 2016 9:08 AM To: Animal Farm Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Politics
Decorum, decency, character.... Where did they go? I agree, we are in bad place with the choices we have... But spooky part is how we got here.... You Republican guys had an army of candidates... All better choices than Fuckwad Trump, even Prick Perry or Cruz, yuk.... But no... And the loyalty no matter what he does reminds me of Hitler and his followers... On other side.. Sanders was better choice but Hillary had more going for her... Can't say I happy about it, but she is smarter than Trump. Johnson needs a class on current events. I pray for our country... Lincoln ,Reagan and Kennedy are spinning away... Like I said before.. New source of clean energy ..and on side note... I wish the aliens that followed Columbus's fleet had sunk them... Oh well.

The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Abraham Lincoln, first inaugural address. An effort to stave off the Civil war. Of the presidents I have been aware of during my short life, in my opinion only the following would have had the temperament to have penned the quote: Kennedy Regan Perhaps Bill Clinton Maybe Obama but probably not. And then this: Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. 21, 1864. Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln. Mrs. Bixby. Neither of our candidates could do this. They could get an aide to perhaps pen something similar, but if you consider their heart, neither possess this type of heartfelt caring or duty to serve. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president that truly has these kinds of thoughts and feelings? Someone that could be a role model for kids. I wonder if it will ever happen again.
