In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavour will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
Today, we the people, and especially those of us who consider ourselves members of the Democratic party, must defend our republic. And to do that, we must help the GOP to defend itself. There are many of us - myself included - who have watched with a certain schadenfreude as the Republican Party has torn itself apart. For years the GOP has played footsie with the most puerile elements of the hard right, stoking the fires of hatred and mistrust. This has come back to haunt the Grand Old Party however, and we're all watching play out in the most macabre of carnivals.
But we must, in the true spirit of adulthood and patriotism, put aside this feeling of glee. (Yes, I know the Republicans would likely not do this for us... but that doesn't make it any less the right thing to do. )
As such - for all 5 of my readers - I call on all Democrats everywhere to support John Kasich. He is the one Republican that I think Dems could work with and who would be an honest and decent partner in contest with our own nominee.
If you are in a state with an open nomination process - please go and vote for him. If your state is a closed primary or caucus - please make a small donation to his campaign.
I cannot abide by Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio is clearly a puppet of certain monied special interests.
Democrats for Kasich !!!
