In 1974 President Gerald Ford gave former President Richard Nixon a full and complete pardon for the crimes that were committed during the Watergate Scandal. His reasoning was that a pardon would end the divisiveness in our country and we all might resume working together for the benefit of our nation.
So is it time to give the same treatment to our criminally indicted ex-president even though he never spent 1 minute trying to unify the country or represent all its citizens? Hmmm no. I have a better idea. Let’s meditate using the following mantra: “Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!”
(Fade out playing Sam Cooke’s Chain Gang. “That’s the sound of the men working on the chain, ga-a-a-ang.” So inspiring!)
