Over the course of our history, newly sworn in presidents have delivered inaugural addresses that speak to all Americans and are remembered to this day. Just a few examples …
Thomas Jefferson:
But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle.
John F. Kennedy:
Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Abraham Lincoln (1861 and 1865):
The mystic chords of memory … will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in …
So, uh, yeah … today’s was a deep dive into the carnage of this hellhole we call America.
