Ukraine's president is a beacon of freedom

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is becoming the world's beacon of freedom's light. He is not a career politician. Zelenskyy is uniting his country and leading from the trenches. Zelenskyy is from the mold of what America's Founding Fathers were. Can you imagine any of our current political leaders doing what Zelenskyy is doing? I don't believe that Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, Ron Desantis, Kevin McCarthy, Elizabeth Warren, Mitch McConnell or Kamala Harris could unite this country under similar circumstances. Our current political situation is only concerned with calling each other names and labeling one another as socialist, fascist, or racists. Many of our media sources are skewed in presenting the real facts. People now believe in "alternative facts." Our Founding Fathers knew uniting a country comes from amicable compromises. Who will rise up to the challenge of uniting our country? I believe John F. Kennedy would say Volodymyr Zelenskyy deserves a chapter in his book "Profiles in Courage."
