JOHN MCCAIN 1936-2018 - MY REFLECTION

NB: I REFLECTED VERY SERIOUSLY AND PUT THIS ON INSTAGRAM. I WROTE THIS, NOT BECAUSE JOHN MCCAIN WAS PERFECT, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO AT LEAST BE HIS OWN MAN AND SPEAK HONESTLY FOR ALL AMERICANS, WHETHER THEY ALL AGREED OR NOT.  AT LEAST HE TRIED. ALSO, WHEN SOMEONE TRIED TO DIMINISH THE DIGNITY OF BARACK OBAMA AS THEY WERE CAMPAIGNING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, MCCAIN HAD THE DECENCY TO LET HIS CONSTITUENT KNOW THAT BARACK WAS A TOP NOTCH AMERICAN AND HE WOULD NOT ALLOW HER MISINFORMATION TO CONTINUE. THAT'S SOMEONE YOU CAN RESPECT EVEN IF YOUR VIEWS ARE DIFFERENT, ESPECIALLY LIARS ARE COVERING UP THE TRUTH. AND NEED TO BE CALLED OUT!

I hope that your absence will inspire others in the government, esp. in Congress to stand up and fight for the higher and greater values that represent our Democracy and speak and defend ALL that reside herein. Thank you and RIP.
