Section 4: President & Congress Subject: Fascinating Convention Speakers Msg# 1095108

Did folks see Madison Cawthorn, the paralized guy who's running for a House seat? Another fascinating story, where his speech called for Dems to act more responsibly. Click Here
Cawthorn called to mind the dream of Martin Luther King Jr.-- for all Americans to be judged solely on their character. “National leaders on the left have normalized demagoguery and a radicalized identity politics that rejects MLK’s dream.” Cawthorn said that Republicans were committed to building a “new town square,” that “welcomes all ideas and people.” During his concluding remarks Cawthorn struggled to stand up on his wobbly legs. And that brought criticism from the left media. They claimed he was mocking protesters who kneel for the anthem or the pledge of allegiance -- yet Cawthorn had mentioned neither of those patriotic symbols. Viewers could see his leg braces, wheel chair, & walker as he stood up for concluding remarks. Has the media no respect for this paralized guy??? Tom

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Another fascinating speaker was Dan Crenshaw. Although his 3-3/4 min speech was among the shortest, it carried the message of the greatness and determination of the people of the US. Some might say that his losing one eye fighting as a navy seal, and coming back to serve in congress demonstrates that same kind of true grit. Here's a quote from the speech: "The American spirit reflects the oldest and most important virtues: self-sacrifice, courage, tolerance, love of country, grace, and passion for human achievement" This one was recorded on the deck of a battleship in LePorte, Texas.
