Rest in Peace, Johnny Mac

I wasn’t planning to do a tribute to John McCain at all. But I went on Reddit today, and got annoyed at what I saw there. I made this little image after seeing both Trump supporters and leftists, upon his death, insult McCain’s memory in crudely expressed and adolescent ways.

I posted the following on Twitter a few hours ago:

Only GOP member of the Keating Five; dumped his first wife to marry an heiress; voted for a lot of things I think were objectively wrong. But if you call McCain a "war criminal" or "racist" and take glee in his death, I assume you're not even an American.

One could say that Senator John McCain had better press than he deserved. He was, after all, repeatedly disappointing and infuriating to ideologues to either side. Certainly I think he voted for the wrong things many times.

But John Sidney McCain III was a patriot, unlike many of those whom I see slander him now. I can honor that even as I often seriously disagreed with his choices and his party.
