The announcement of his diagnosis brought out the best in people-president Obama sent his regards as did many other democrats. It's brought out the worst in people too. Since McCain is viewed as a "maverick", the right wing of the republican party dislikes him. He votes with the GOP over 90% of the time, so apparently the right wing base of the party is too stupid to understand how politics work and that they'll never agree with someone all the time. So they'll just lash out on those they disagree with. You expect it from the tolerant, PC set-anyone who disagrees with them is automatically evil after all-but I'm continually surprised about the lack of manners that the Trumpers have.
If you can't express condolences after a eighty year old war hero announces he has cancer, then you've truly got some stuff to "work on" as a person.
I completely agree. There is a saying that I like. It says: You can disagree without being disagreeable. There is nothing wrong with having a different opinion, we live in a country that is supposed to be based on freedom of speech. Unfortunately, some think that freedom of speech is a good thing only if you agree with what I am saying. John Mccain is fighting cancer. Anyone fighting cancer needs support. However, I think there is a deeper cancer eating away at our love for our fellow men. After World War 2, the US sent aid to help our enemies to help rebuild. Japan and Germany are now allies. I fear that if our current attitude were prevalent back then, those countries would be wastelands instead. How far we have fallen.
