“The service of truth is a matter of heroism”
Kennedy’s next sentence was, “The service of truth is a matter of heroism.” Sadly, in the public service sector there is a decided lack of heroes of truth. It is also sad that this is a discussion we even need to have in 2023.
"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder." ~ George Washington
"Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it." ~ George Washington
Clearly, George Washington had a deep understanding of the foibles of human nature, and as voters, we have been negligent in choosing the elected officials to serve us in public office. For a half century we have only listened to what politicians promised while ignoring the reality of what they actually did. Shame on us! How many unfulfilled promises do we need to see before we recognize we have been scammed? Apparently, not enough so far!
In 2023, there is a silver lining in that the truth is finally coming out about the lying that took place in regard to the COVID scam and the fraudulent lies surrounding the January 6, 2021, demonstration that was anything but an insurrection. The blatant lies from the Marxist-inspired Biden administration are so egregious that even the socialist mainstream media can no longer ignore the lies. As always, ultimately the truth comes out.
