“A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.”
My wife brought this quote to my attention a couple months ago. All we have to do is tune to CNN, MSNBC or Fox News to see our press and political leaders validate this insight given to us by our 26th president about a century ago. It will probably still be true a century from now.
DISCOURSE: AMERICA 
I’m saving that quote on my computer. Nothing could be more true about politics.
