It’s no surprise that this was truley the greatest generation. What the hell happened? The self sacrifice and love of country is unmatched. We have been pushed into the cesspool by the bottom dwellers. We have a long climb ahead of us if it’s not to late
...talk about hero to zero.
Fits Harry Reid and most of the Senate to a tee...
The man is a toad...in a room full of lizards...
......Senator Inouye distinguished himself almost beyond belief in war and I totally respect him for that and given the opportunity, I would have been honored to shake his hand for his war time service. I could say the same for McCain.
But, Inouye and McCain went on to soil their legacies, as far as I am concerned, in exactly the same way. Namely, they used their incumbency advantages to get repeatedly elected for up to fifty years..............a true abomination and the purest form of corruption that there is in this democracy of ours.
A freeper wrote in recently that he was tired of democracy and it’s crooked politicians! I’m with him. How bout get rid of the corrupt 535 and replace them with an honest dictator, elected every four years with the stipulaton that ONLY employed people that have lived in the US and are either employed or property owners or both can vote! Then, in appropriate precincts, have about 50 cops at the polls with billy clubs drawn to protect the voting process from the labor union goons and liberals.
Our 535 is now as corrupt as ANY third world country! I think this is why the honorable Jim Demint quit! I.E. he saw no honor in the institution any more.
While it is true that there were titans in our Senate from time to time, it is also true we have had scoundrels, trimmers, and thieves aplenty. The drive to make Senators directly elected by the people was supposed to make them more accountable; it hasn’t really done so. The more the government does, the more corrupt it becomes; and those who enact the laws become more corrupt the more laws they enact.
I am humbled by Lt. Inouye’s sacrifices on behalf of his country; I unfortunately have no respect for Senator Inouye’s politics. God bless Lt. Inouye.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Incorrect. JCC fully engaged with the institution of slavery.
Unfortunatly, his chosen method of engagement was to promote its perpetuation and extension, demanding that it be accepted as a positive good.
We honor him for his service and bravery, but didn’t he end up a commie in his later years?
From a Hero to Zero, just like John Glenn!
Hard to praise a man that enslaved us with Obamacare.
