Thank you once again digby for keeping us informed!
Yes, my fellow Americans (if you are a non- white immigrant moocher just keep moving), it’s National Character Counts Week in the good ol’ USA where-
We celebrate... because few things are more important than cultivating strong character in all our citizens, especially our young people. The grit and integrity of our people, visible throughout our history, defines the soul of our Nation. This week, we reflect on the character of determination, resolve, and honor that makes us proud to be American.
As President Reagan declared, "There is no institution more vital to our Nation's survival than the American family. Here the seeds of personal character are planted, the roots of public virtue first nourished." Character is built slowly. Our actions -- often done first out of duty -- become habits ingrained in the way we treat others and ourselves. As parents, educators, and civic and church leaders, we must always work to cultivate strength of character in our Nation's youth.
“Character can be hard to define”. Oh I don’t know. I think we can sure as hell define amoral, ass*^(% character. You know, the locker room talking type. Not too difficult really.
But the declaration reminds us ...(and who the hell wrote this crap for this fraud to sign???)
...raising and providing for a family with loving devotion, working hard to make the most of an education, and giving back to devastated communities. These and so many other acts big and small constitute the moral fiber of American culture. Character is forged around kitchen tables, built in civic organizations, and developed in houses of worship. It is refined by our choices, large and small, and manifested in what we do when we think no one is paying attention.
As we strive every day to improve our character and that of our Nation, we pause and thank those individuals whose strength of character has inspired us and who have provided a supporting hand during times of need. In particular, we applaud families as they perform the often thankless task of raising men and women of character.
Yes as we strive every day… we pause to yell “lock her up” as one example of a thank you to one of...
“those individuals whose strength of character has inspired us and who have provided a supporting hand during times of need. ”
As the ass^&$# supreme hereunto sets his tiny and very nasty hand
“by virtue of the authority vested” ...” by the Constitution and the laws of the United States...”
and does
“hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2017, as National Character Counts Week.”
we should all, all us Americans, as long as we’re not Puerto Rican or something-
...observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
I’ll be sure and celebrate. As soon as the disgusting bastard and his swamp things are out of the White House!!!!
