CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 1, 2025
AS WE APPROACH THE SEASON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO REFLECT “GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN” – AND WOMEN – WE FIND LESS AND LESS OF IT IN WASHINGTON.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON FIGHTING AND DENOUNCING EACH OTHER?
WE SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP SETTING A POOR EXAMPLE BY CALLING A REPORTER “PIGGY,” A GOVERNOR A “FAT SLOB,” AND DEMEANING THE IQ AND SKILLS OF OTHERS WITH WHOM HE DISAGREES. LEADERSHIP MEANS SETTING GOOD EXAMPLES IN LANGUAGE AND DEPORTMENT. IN AN EARLIER GENERATION SAYING SOME OF THE THINGS POLITICIANS SAY ABOUT EACH OTHER MIGHT HAVE RESULTED IN THEIR MOUTHS BEING WASHED OUT WITH SOAP.
THE LATE SINGER AND GUITARIST GLEN CAMPBELL SANG A SONG THAT WAS NOT AMONG HIS BIGGEST HITS, BUT CONTAINED A POWERFUL THOUGHT. THE LYRIC WENT LIKE THIS: “You’ve got to try a little kindness yes show a little kindness …shine your light for everyone to see. And if you’ll try a little kindness and you’ll overlook the blindness Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets.”
TRY KINDNESS POLITICIANS. IT WORKS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
