12 Virtues Introduced by Aristotle – the master of those who know | Aesthetichealingmindset's Blog
"The Founders thought that a free society could only flourish if its leaders are virtuous... the Founders understood that freedom would depend on citizens remembering that government derives its authority from people who consent to give it that authority, and that it must work to serve the common good, treating every citizen equally. Freedom depends on citizens who care enough about preserving it to really evaluate people who run for office, and to elect those who demonstrate wisdom, restraint, and personal virtue. Most of all, freedom depends on citizens having wisdom, courage and sense of justice necessary to take action when they see government overstepping its bounds."

If you vote for a republican or a democrat, then it's not the person that you voted for who is in control. it's the party--the hand that holds the puppet/money strings.
LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
In the next election--national, state or local--vote for someone who shares your values who is not a democrat or a republican.
Nothing will be better for our country.

take the test. rate trump on Aristotle's 12 virtues.
it's not pretty, is it?
who do you trust?
- someone who you know who has similar values to yours?
- or someone who trashes other people? an instigating bully who divides (instead of a leader who seeks to unify)? a foul-mouthed womanizer? a person who doesn't keep their promises? a charlatan? a liar?
- or someone who thinks that they're above our laws, conducting government business on private, unsecured email, failing to protect classified government documents? who has no more regard for an innocent child than to support killing that child moments before the child would have been born?
- or do you trust political parties that are financed by billionaire corporations and billionaire PACs?

If you vote for a republican or a democrat, then it's not the person that you voted for who is in control. it's the party--the hand that holds the puppet/money strings.
LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
