Adam Kinzinger has shown us how a real American, a real man, acts when his country is in trouble. He stepped up even though he knew it was going to cost him.
I don't agree with all of his political stances, but as HCR has pointed out repeatedly, we need at least two political parties *acting in good faith* to have a strong small-d democracy.
Thank you, Adam Kinzinger, for your voice and ongoing service. What I find chilling about the subject is that the current U.S. president, as I understand it, continues to threaten withdrawal from NATO.
And naturally, sincere appreciation goes to the professor and the 250 to 250 team for these awesome brief and powerful history lessons.
