While some men are able to rise to highest office by a message that rings true for a great many Americans, no one attests to President Trump’s orator credentials. Patrick Henry, firebrand and patriot, stirred Virginia men to oppose the British monarchy in 1775. When the Constitution was being drafted, his critique of centralized power lead to the Bill of Rights.
Incredibly, the United States has few today that rise to the level of public speaking that developed in the crucible of discord. But after two decades of control exerted by a duopoly of Big Media and central government, people have an opportunity to have their voice heard and acted upon. And one man’s Twitter feed moves others to action.
Why "notdonner" for my 'nom d 'plume'? When we decided to add the dog, Comet. to the household, we didn't change his shelter name, but also couldn't remember it. Since it was the Christmas season, I thought of Santa's reindeer: not Dasher, not Dancer, nor Prancer... not Donner, etc.
I don't know too many who are not dog-men. I have often eschewed politics in favor of talking about dogs, existentialism and everyday perspective as one of the dog-people. Not that I don't like cats, I do. But cats tolerate you, while dogs enjoy having you around.
While a vice-president of the New York Mets (MLB) organization, and an attorney in New York share the same first and last name with me, I have no greater honor than having served my country as a U.S. Navy Senior Chief.
