BIG JOHN...

Here we see one of my personal hero's...Big John McCain...this is a guy I have looked up to since the late sixties...even before I became a soldier and got caught up with LBJ's war, I knew he was as big a hero as there ever was or ever would be
I supported his run for the House, for the Senate, and for the White House...which was derailed by dirty tricks orchestrated by an ex-Army Jag officer working for the Bush campaign...(I know him, but I don't need a law suit just now)
Today I sent John McCain an email, which I doubt he will ever see, letting him know that he has lost my support...somehow, one of the bravest men on earth went chicken on the illegal immigration issue...I try to ascribe it to representing a state that is filled to bursting with Mexicans who don't belong there, but if that is the case then we are in the realm of a lack of moral courage. Now, I know, I know, moral courage is missing at every level of our society, so expecting a TEDDY ROOSEVELT to show up and lead the way is a stupid fantasy of mine. I had always thought John McCain was a man of moral courage as well as amazing physical courage.
Guess I was wrong, at least this time...
As a minimum I hope he is embarrassed about his absurd bill that has no possible chance of funding and therefore will allow the free ride the Mexicans, Salvadoran,
Hondurans etc are all looking for.
In the 1980's a big free ride was given to those who left the wars in elSalvador and Nicaragua...(I always thought it might have been more appropriate to remain in place and fight, but then I am not Hispanic) Five million of those illegals got a total walk...full amnesty...now...the day after that happened, the country began to fill up again...and now those people are not just expecting amnesty, they are DEMANDING IT as they wave their Mexican flags...call it "Guest Worker" or call it anything like that, but it is a fucking give away...and John McCain is leading the charge...
With the very greatest of irony, a fund raising letter from McCain arrived in this evening's mail...needless to say, it will be returned, with an unambiguous demand to remove me from the list of possible supporters...now, and for all time...(small issues I can overlook, giving America to those who refuse to assimilate cannot be forgotten or forgiven, ever)
Bye Big John, it was fun while it lasted...
