Sunday Reflection: Necessity




"Necessity has a way of obliterating from our conduct various delicate scruples regarding honor and pride." --  Nobel Prize laureate William Faulkner, from "Absalom, Absalom!" Faulkner authored such works as "Light In August," "The Sound and the Fury," and "Intruder in the Dust."

The conduct of such abject Trump bootlickers as Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Elise Stefanik and thousands of more Republican politicians in service to the "necessity" of their own shameful careers has obliterated their honor, and marked them for history as moral cowards.
