Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.

Quote of the Day — Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Finally, there is the matter of maintaining a respectable image of American life before the world! Among the qualities that the American government must exhibit is dignity. In turn the principle government spokesman must strive to display it. In war and in peace, I’ve no respect for the desk pounder, and have despised the loud and slick talker. If my own ideas and practices in this matter have sprung from weakness I do not know. But they were and are deliberate or, rather, natural to me. They are not accidental.” ~~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, letter to Henry Luce, August 1960

Trump mistakes LBJ quote as a guideline
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” ~~ Lyndon B. Johnson
I went to Snopes.com to verify this quote. At the end of the article they stated:
” In the blunt vernacular that he loved to use, LBJ was describing what the television pundits of today would probably call the politics of resentment and divisiveness. It is still very much with us.”
H. L. Mencken on Trump’s Inauguration…
A friend sent me this quote which perfectly describes the inauguration of Donald Trump:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by an incompetent, downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.” — H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
For the first time in my life I am embarrassed to say I am an American. I am thinking about getting a red maple leaf tattoo so people might accidentally mistake me for a Canadian.
What an awful day for our country.
