Or, maybe, Oliver Hazard Perry? Juan Antonio Rodriguez-Sero; ja Theodore Roosevelt. Charlottesville, VA The hand that is dealt you. Thomas Mende. Reply to author. Report message as abuse. I have no way to disavow you of your memory, and may I say that it is apparently better than mine. However, in the context of my essay, when he wrote it is less important than what he wrote. As we watch Donald Trump bait his adversaries, including Iran, The European Union, China, and most of Latin America, some of us recognize that we have met the enemy and he is our president.

He also managed — most of the time — to make us realize that we are all subject to human failing by having his characters unselfconsciously guilty of the same faults they saw in someone else. Injecting a politically partisan comment in this series of thoughts and recollections is out of place Mr. Mondie, Walt Kelly was among the first comic strip artists to satirize public figures.

As an analyst of political cartoons, it is incumbent on me to synthesize timeless statements of the past and relate them to the present situation.

That you continue to research the quote after over 50 years, and that it is relevant to current events in are indicators of how timeless the quote is. Please provide me a way to send you some images of his work and I can explain why. We become our own worst enemies when we become so emotional that it clouds our objective and critical thinking moving forward. The visceral rejection of Mrs.

Clinton as a candidate by enough of the population for trump to win, was not a true function of Russian interference as much as it was her poor persona, lack of integrity, lack of smart campaigning and bad messaging…just to cite a few issues.

To this day, there have been too many false narratives here that blinds those same people to look inwardly and learn. Well said, Joe. I may be a bit guilty of this myself, but I am searching for answers. I do not vote exclusively Democratic and have voted Republican many times.

When the tide rolled in and was lapping at the Nixon White House during Watergate there were few Republicans willing to support the president. What has happened in the last 50 years to compromise integrity? Thanks, It is very hard in these days for people not to get emotional and be unbiased analysts Larry. We all need to stand back from the problems and examine their true roots for the good of our society and look more carefully at things the way they really are.

We just no longer do critical thinking any more. A press that is biased and disingenuous Political correctness that is killing free speech National security and terrorism threats Illegal immigration and a crisis at the borders Government excess and regulations.

Yes, people feel that Trump lacks any sort of grace and takes no prisoners. Many probably consider him a bully like Nixon, but need to learn from this regardless of their hatred. Trump would not have apologized, lectured people on the evils of political correctness and moved on. That appeals to a lot of people right or wrong. Kaisich is part of the problem that Trump gets and will get him elected again. Rubio failed because Trump had the right messaging and Rubio did not. Sometimes people do listen to what you say and Trump has kept it simple.

The democrats still have no coherent messaging and policies that currently will appeal to the mainstream electorate in a very good economy. The only thing that may beat Mr. Trump is he himself with tariff policies that will undo the aforementioned economy by creating uncertainty in a new world of trade and fragile supply chains. People often think that when I do analysis of trump like this or the democrats and society in general that I am an advocate for what is being done or said.

I am not, I am just making observations. Most people though have stopped listening. There is evidence that some of the rodent infestation in Baltimore that he has recently decried is in apartment buildings that his son-in-law owns. Who does that appeal to? Apparently, a majority of the electoral college though obviously not a majority of Americans.

I would like to see another Republican challenge Trump in the primaries. Now that Americans have seen who he is, would he beat a moderate Republican?

Or as someone once told me, if I point my index finger at […]. Although, yes, Walt Kelly and Pogo are unknown to the current president. It is not because they are from different times. It is more because Trump has nothing to do with any lessons of morality. Huddled in my home fairly far from downtown Minneapolis, I prayed for others—in Kenosha and Portland and elsewhere.

He appears to be getting ready to start cleaning up the garbage humans have strewn over Okefenokee Swamp, the part of the planet where he lives.

Kelly used the line again in the Pogo strip published on the second Earth Day in The words poignantly highlight a key concept of environmental stewardship: we all share part of the responsibility for the trashing of planet Earth, so we should all do our share to help clean it up.

Kelly had used a version of the quote in the foreword to his book The Pogo Papers , but it was not as pithy or memorable as the line he coined for Earth Day.

Today, the environmental issues we face today are clearly daunting. However, since the first Earth Day in many environmental battles have been won and there has been notable progress in addressing problems that seemed quite daunting in the past. Back then, for example, it was perfectly legal to dump untreated sewage and industrial waste into local waterways or turn irreplaceable natural areas like Okefenokee Swamp into toxic waste dumps.
