Jennifer Carpenter Instagram – Mr. President, Mitch McConnell, and those who refuse to accept fact (fact: the truth about events as opposed to interpretation), I would like to invite you to join my book club. On page 5 Ricks reminds his reader that virtue (during the 18th century at least) meant “putting the common good before one’s own interests”. (Please read that again) Virtue was the lynchpin of public life- it was the fastener that held the structure together. Have a look at the book. And then take a look in the mirror. Do you see virtue there? History’s memory is long. #readandconcede #democracy #america #unitedstates #thomasericks
