Denis Smith tells the stories of two very different people in Urbana, Ohio.
One is a heartwarming story about a good man who acted kindly towards two impoverished children at Christmastime, whose story appeared on the CBS Sunday Morning show as an example of a man with a big heart.
The other story is about a mean-spirited Congressman from Urbana who enjoys protecting the rich and killing federal programs that help the poor and needy children.
One man is remembered long after his death for his kindness and warm heart. The other, a Congressman named Jim Jordan, inspires contempt and loathing. Former GOP House Speaker Jim Boehner referred to Jim Jordan as a “legislative terrorist.” No one ever refers to him as kind or caring. He reserves his “caring” for corporations.
Here’s hoping the Democratic Party finds a good candidate to challenge this heartless, unkind, uncaring, uninspiring member of Congress.

Speaker Boehner’s first name is John, not Jim.
There is some research on brain imaging that suggests that conservatives and progressives have different brain imaging. In the conservatives the amygdala being a deeper brain structure that processes more emotional information—specifically fear-based information is larger in conservatives. I do not know if there is any truth this assertion, but it is interesting doctors were able to predict political affiliation with over 80% accuracy after looking at brain maps.https://www.salon.com/2016/06/06/study_liberals_and_conservatives_have_different_brain_structures_partner/
“….heartless, unkind, uncaring, uninspiring member of Congress.” That pretty much sums up the GOP for the past many decades. We are still the only advanced wealthy democratic country without a universal health care system. And yet our mish mash non health care system is the most expensive which results in bankruptcies and unnecessary deaths. In those other countries, no one goes bankrupt from medical costs and drugs cost a fraction of what they do in the US. Truman proposed a national health care system in the late 1940s but was defeated by the GOP and the AMA. We have Medicare and Medicaid thanks to LBJ. The GOP is determined to undo all the social safety net and have 50 or 60 millions uninsured.
The GOP has managed to collect all the mean people into a political party.
