“Are you a leader in any area of your life that ever requires you to do distasteful things? Such as praise people because rightly or wrongly they are in positions of power that could make or break the thing you lead and have built over your entire life?”
What in the hell are you talking about? Do you think Trump sucks up to dictators because he is afraid of them? In any case - I’ve told my commanding officer to run his orders by legal or back off...not a good career move, but I’ve never regretted it.
“Do you think that you are a better person, more suitable for Heaven, because you would not ever dare say ‘piece of ass’?”
Actually, I used it on this forum. But yes, I’m a better man than Trump for not believing and treating women as “pieces of ass”. If you do not understand that, then you have no honor.
“I’m not name calling here: You strike me as a sort of sanctimonious person, self righteous.”
You strike me as a Trump worshiper, unable to admit there is something wrong with a man who praises the Communist Chinese for Tienanmen Square, praises Putin, praises North Korea and who has supported liberal democrats his entire life. You won’t admit there is something wrong with a man who simply hurls insults as a substitute for thought. You won’t admit that neither you nor Donald Trump knows what he intends to do in office, or even what he will believe tomorrow.
The problem is TRUMP - what does he believe, and will he believe it tomorrow? To answer that, you attack me. Very Trump-like, but pathetically dishonest and stupid.
Yes, I have principles. Those principles have resulted, at times, in my being beaten up and in my career being harmed - but I was not a fool to stand by what I believed. The astonishing thing is that in modern America, even on FreeRepublic, people believe having no principles is admirable.
Nope this isn’t cowardice, this is charm offensive.
