Right-wing wackos have been pissing me off for decades, but by golly they have stretched my tolerance past the breaking point this past week.

President Biden rewarded 19 deserving individuals the Presidential Medal of Freedom. They range from Bono, the U2 front man, to the late Sen./Attorney General/and probable president Robert F. Kennedy.

Among those honored were two people who have drawn the ire of the right-wing cabal, former U.S. Sen./Secretary of State/first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and progressive political activist George Soros. Why, the right-wingers just can’t tolerate the idea of these individual being honored with the nation’s highest civilian award.

What did they do to disqualify them? Clinton ran for president twice, in 2008 and in 2016. She was nominated by Democrats to run against Donald J. Trump; she lost the 2016 election. However, during her many decades in public life, Clinton became a champion for the underserved, for women’s rights, for children and for democratic principles.

And Soros? He came to this country from Hungary to build a better life for himself and his family. He has been a progressive political activist, giving tons of money to fellow progressives running for office and for causes they support.

The right-wingers don’t like either of them. That is just too … damn … bad!

Sure, they have made some mistakes. Who in the hell hasn’t?

They have earned the recognition that the president has bestowed on them. The right-wing kooks need to shut the hell up.
