My most recent Letter To The Editor of our Local paper.....

[ProudMNDemocrat]

This letter was inspired by a post I made here on DU earlier today about Donald Trump. Here goes my letter.....

During the 2nd Century A.D., Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius often wrote about the four chief Virtues of a good leader. Those virtues being Wisdom, Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance. What we have in Donald Trump, is a leader who possesses NONE of those virtues.




A leader who does not show Wisdom before he speaks or tweets. A leader who does not practice Fortitude in studying of the history of this country or of the world before he criticizes those who challenge him on the facts. A leader who does not offer Justice to those who need it or pardons those who violated it with unlawful intent. A leader whose lack of Temperance towards those he views beneath him in intellect, economic status, upbringing, etc., shows no signs of abating.




Welcome to the era of Trump. At least Commodus was somewhat a moral man when he succeeded his father, Marcus Aurelius, but that is not saying much in comparison to Donald Trump.

2. Very nice

And ironic that you actually compliment him by saying he has none of these virtues -- elevated by virtue of NOT naming his many sins.

But a nice job and it'll probably make people think.
