McCain was awarded the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal Monday. Many speakers at the event decried what they see as a rejection of America’s role as a world leader.

PHILADELPHIA—U.S. Sen. John McCain jabbed Monday night at unnamed pushers of isolationist politics, saying at his National Constitution Center Liberty Medal ceremony in Philadelphia that abandoning America’s role as an international leader is “unpatriotic.”

McCain could not legislate himself out of the Hanoi Hilton.

He is slipping. Time for him to get with the program or get out.

Not.

That's better. :-)

The chemo is eating what's left of his brain. They just played part of his speech on TV and man, that guy is simply not all there!

So stopping the Norks from bullying Australians and Japanese is not international leadership?

Or is he siding with North Korean rhetoric that the US is bullying North Korea?

This guy is a real tool. He speaks just like the LaRaza communists he instigates.

If you get your informaation only from the MSM you have no idea of the leadership attainments this country is reaching under President Trunp.

So many anti-people, pro-industrial “Associations” wrap them selves in Patriotic themes and this one seems no different, which accounts for the selection of McCain.

IIRC Hillary was the last award winner, if that tells you anything.

The expression “half-baked” is a pretty good description of John McCain and his ideas.

He supported the jihadists in Syria who morphed into Islamic State leading to rape, murder and migrants.

“If you get your informaation only from the MSM you have no idea of the leadership attainments this country is reaching under President Trunp.”

I’m at the point where I really don’t watch ANY “news” because it’s likely to be outright wrong or at best half-true. I was traveling last weekend and captive to airport CNN broadcasts. When a story ran I thought “I wonder what the real story is?”.

If ANY product or service doesn’t work as advertised, I stop using it.

Where you are being led is more important than who is leading. Ask the Donner party.
