From an Axios article, “‘When we think about the greatest things we have ever accomplished as a society have been ambitious acts of vision, and the “meh” is just worshipped now, for what?’” Well, somebody keeps nailing it! Her statement reminds me of the Apollo missions to the moon. Can anyone tell me why President Kennedy challenged the nation to go to the moon (and we accepted the challenge)? Anyone? Anyone at all? Why was this crazy and impossible vision so important to the U.S. that even after Kennedy’s death America preserved to be the first nation to put a man on the moon? Was there gold on the moon? Diamonds? Maybe a place to build a space base? Clearly, the purpose of the mission was not for wealth or national defense and certainly not for a profit. In the words of Kennedy, “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.” (Yet MAGA morons think traitor trump speaks English “good”; well at least he doesn’t say “
Now fast forward nearly 60 years since those words were spoken and we land in stupid f***ing America where being bold and aiming for the highest ideals is too hard for dumbass Democrats. Aspirations like the Green New Deal is not practical, just like going to the moon was not practical. RepubliKKKlans hate such lofty ideas because, well, they’re f***ing morons, while “meh” Democrats are not too far behind. Yup, let’s just keep doing nothing because it’s easy. Instead, traitor trump is the “pride” of America! F*** me! God! We are a pathetic country! Welcome to stupid f***ing America!
