Do I even know you anymore?

What happened to  you ?
But boo Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) you did  at the behest of President Trump during a rally in Alabama last week.
Mike Allen of Axios further reported this week that Trump has been “physically mocking” the thumbs-down gesture  McCain  used to deliver the deciding vote against the Republican health-care bill in July. Did that mocking involve an imitation of  McCain ’s stiff arm movements? In case you haven’t read a newspaper in the 45 years since we played on the same Dixie Youth Baseball team together   McCain  got the hell beaten out of  him  by the communists who held  him  in the Hanoi Hilton for more than five years.
Meanwhile   McCain  continued receiving the beatings that would forever leave  him  incapable of lifting  his  arms over  his  head.  He  kept enduring torture because  he  refused to leave  his  band of brothers behind.
Do you have that kind of character? If you booed  McCain  at last week’s rally  don’t bother answering. Someone has obviously failed you in your life; you probably need to spend some time figuring out who that was. And if you still go to church  you may also want to pray for all those around you who put tribal politics ahead of basic humanity.
Then maybe you should drive home and tell your children the story of John McCain’s sacrifice. If you can teach your children that lesson of heroism  there’s a chance they might grow up to have more character than the president you now praise.
