I'm no Notre Dame fan but I always thought Holtz was a man of integrity. Holtz talked about his own military service. So how can he endorse a man who used a fake medical excuse to avoid serving his country? How can he endorse a man who lies all the time about even the most petty things? How can endorse a man who takes no responsibility?

He said one of the key things for a leader is to love those he leads. Trump? Love? LOL

Anyway, it was very sad. I'll chalk it up to dementia or he's just one of those hardcore Catholics who would vote for the devil if he said he would end abortion.

I don't think Holtz gives a flying fig what you think. Holtz has a stellar reputation of being a very good man and well respected. His speech tonight was well measured on how he has approached all things in his life. Three words, trust, commitment and love.

Its' all tranactional. I mean nobody is gonna trust Trump, but AFAIK the GOP's money is still good. Money or kickbacks of some kind go a long way with most folks. For the GOP's fabulously wealthy, money is all there is....

I always thought this was some brilliant album art, and every bit as apropos today as ever....

The sad thing is, I think many of them don't even realize the hold their wealth has got on them; what we own, in reality owns us, all too often....

Lou Holtz tonight in his speech did explain how those three words he applied to President Trump. If you want a source, go find his speech he gave tonight.

So Lou Holtz does something you dont like and you decide to throw insults at him?

Another shining example of lefty "tolerance."

Why would any military man of integrity want Biden as Commander in Chief?

And you don't see the irony of this ludicrous statement?

OK, fine, just to be nice, I will explain.

Commander "Bone Spurs" AKA "Bunker Boy", a man of unearned wealth and privilidge, who has NO family members who've served...

VS, former VP, father of a decorated Iraq war veteran...

On second though, nevermind, I realize how futile this is, I'm not a qualified cult deprogrammer.... :cool:

Just keep telling yourself "only 68 more days of this madness". It helps.
This does too...

Did I say he was fit?

Do you really think the Joe Dementia Biden is fit?

Do you want someone with some obvious cognitive problem, in charge of the nuclear football?
