I have been reminded by the author William Rivers Pitt of how fine a patriot Benjamin Franklin really is. Rather than re-tell what Pitt has written, I will place a web link below for you to follow and read for yourself.
What we see is a man who valued learning and discovery. Franklin's mind was discerning, serious and jocular. He was curious, yet principled.
As we face continuing threats to both our freedoms and our sensibilities from what can aptly be called a rogue administration in Washington, may Benjamin Franklin indeed be a model for us.
