If your patriotism is dependent on who the president is, you are no patriot.

Insurrectionists against the United States and their supporters are not patriots.

Have you done the Viking river cruises? I have not been on one yet. I have been looking at Rhine one that travels Switzerland to Amsterdam with most stops in Germany.


Done two on Viking and one on Avalon. Also cruise on Yangtze. Nile. Amazon. Galápagos Islands. Moskva/Volga/Neva. Probably more I’m forgetting.

Viking is a good company. All comfortable outside cabins. Nice relaxed pace. Very good included shore excursions.

Copied from FB
So well said

"If it's okay with the MAGA crowd, I am just gonna go ahead and view The Obama Presidential Library Celebration as America's Official 250th Birthday Celebration.

You can keep whatever trailer trash spectacle that was on the South Lawn of the White House. I'll take this.

I'll take Bruce Springsteen singing Land of Hope and Dreams . . . you take the motocross dudes doing motorcross stunts.

I'll take Eddie Vedder singing an original song with 15 or 20 local youth musicians . . . you take barefooted slobs parading around the Oval Office with American flags draped over their shoulders.

I'll take uplifting, unifying, inspirational speeches from Michele and Barack . . . you take whatever hate, lies, racism, bigotry and insults spewing out of Trump's rancid mouth every time he talks.

I'll take Barack on the mic, talking positively about McCain and Romney, the two men he defeated for the presidency . . . you take some white trash racist bigot screaming that "Michele Obama is a MAN, right America?"

I'll take Stevie Wonder . . . you take Vanilla Ice.

I'll take Christina Aguilera singing, "What a Wonderful World," . . . you take Lee Greenwood singing "Proud to be a White American."

I'll take a final song with Stevie, Eddie, Bruce, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera and others . . . you take half-naked men beating the shit out of each other in the name of Patriotism.

And I'll take the pure love story that is Barack and Michele Obama, and you take Trump and his mail-order stripper bride who can't STAND him.

TODAY, in CHICAGO . . . THIS was a TRUE celebration of the America I know and love.

Whatever that was on the South Lawn of the White House? Let's just flush that. And all of MAGA along with it.

I am sick of hearing about the "division" in this country. Yes, there is a division. But it's not about political views. The "division" is between good America and bad America. Good people and bad people. Real people and shallow people. Caring people and greedy people.

Sunday at the White House we saw one side.

Today we saw our better side."

The Beatles first single, Love Me Do, was released (in the UK) closer to the 1800's than to the present day.
