How low is low? On Feb. 4, standing in front of the representatives of the other two branches of our national government, the legislators and the justices of the Supreme Court, and before the American people, our Chief Executive bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, to Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh is the moral equivalent of Joseph Goebbels, who served as Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945. Two days later, at the National Prayer Breakfast about Unity, the president used the opportunity to scathingly assault his accusers with language that would have required censoring not very long ago.
Like so many concerned Americans, I wonder what it would take to rein this tyrant in. Must we wait until the election in November? If I had access to America’s living past presidents — Carter, Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama — I would beg them to write a joint op-ed or a letter to President Trump asking him to please, be more presidential.
