“To navigate complex challenges, all leaders must take responsibility and have a moral compass grounded in competence, integrity and concern for the greater good,” he wrote, as if President Trump has no moral compass but Sully does so he can lecture us against president Trump. President Trump is a leader, not just the pilot of the airplane. He has amazingly high integrity and concern for even the lowest and poorest Americans and he proves that every day against people who don’t quite grasp how great Trump really is.
“Tragically, people in positions in power today are not projecting their best” Sullenberger wrote.
“Many are cowardly, complicit enablers, acting against the interests of the United States, our allies and democracy; encouraging extremists at home and emboldening our adversaries abroad; and threatening the livability of our planet.”
“Many do not respect the offices they hold; they lack — or disregard — a basic knowledge of history, science and leadership; and they act impulsively, worsening a toxic political environment,” he continued.
Sullenberger, an Air Force veteran, said that the “current absence of civic virtues” should not be normalized.
“We must rededicate ourselves to the ideals, values and norms that unite us and upon which our democracy depends,” he wrote. “We must be engaged and informed voters, and we must get our information from credible, reputable sources.”
Sullenberger wrote that he has been a registered Republican for the majority of his adult life but has “always voted as an American.” Why then is it so important for him to note his bone fides include being Republican. He could register “American”.
“We cannot wait for someone to save us. We must do it ourselves,” he wrote. “This Election Day is a crucial opportunity to again demonstrate the best in each of us by doing our duty and voting for leaders who are committed to the values that will unite and protect us.”…… developing, ….Sully is one of my hero’s too…….
