O.M.G.
This
is a photo of the
Presidential Medal
of Freedom.
It
is
awarded
by
the president of the United States "for especially meritorious
contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United
States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant
public or private endeavors".
I've
seen it awarded to hundreds of people over the years and, although I
did not always agree with the President's choice I was always able to
see that the recipient met the requirement of one of those three
choices.
Recently President Trump made a mockery of that award. As part of his
State of the Union address he bestowed the Medal of Freedom on his
friend and radio host, Rush Limbaugh.
I ask you ...where
do we see that he belongs in ANY of these choices? (1)
the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world
peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private
endeavors".
How much lower will we sink before we rise up in protest? Our country's founders must be reeling in their graves !
My
last three Blog entries had a serious tone and I was hoping to
lighten it up here, but I couldn't leave this unsaid. I suppose in some minds there is a sort
of sick comic feel to this … but in my mind it is an incredibly
sad reminder of how compromised our country has become.

I have read and heard some of that man’s comments. He is not someone I would want to know.
I know, that totally shocked me too. Now we know how low that man can go.
I am worried that when people are ready to rise up in protest it will be too late.
I do not think there is a bottom for Trump's actions. The Senate gave him a stamp of approval to do whatever he wants, legal or not. With the Justice Department in his pocket and trying to control the military, he reminds one of a dictator's rise. And it is scary.
And Limbaugh paid him back by attacking Pete Buttigieg. What horrifies me more is that some people do believe that Rush Limbaugh has made a significant cultural contribution. Just ask 90% of my relatives.
I have never listened to and never will listen to any programs by RL, enough said.
Really cheapened the award.
