Hello,
As I ponder the state of our country. It occurs to me that we have slipped deep into isolationism. Not isolationism as one would think but isolation from one another. We live close to our neighbors and we no nothing about them. We have forgotten what it means to be a friend and a companion in times of need and in times of joy. We are split right down the middle with philosophy and political desires that seem to stagger and upend the common good. Instead of someone leading us out of this state, we are being dragged deeper into it with all the politics and campaigning. To pit one against the other for political gain is one of the lowest and meanest things that can be done. And to pit one race against another is pure evil. Any intent to gain by the suffering of others is a subhuman characteristic. If the shoe fits, wear it.
We live in a very dangerous world. There are people and groups of people who would do anything to destroy us. Contrary to liberal opinion we do not deserve this attitude toward us. If people from America would remember we are all Americans and keep their mouths shut when they go outside of our country we would not have such a bad reputation that we do not deserve. Some people seem to think when they wag their tongues that people are impressed by their slander of our country. Instead it just inflames and fans the already flames in existence. Patriotism should be part of our lives each and every day. But it should be the dominate factor when we go abroad. You got a grip keep it at home. Airing dirty laundry in places other than home is inviting bloodshed of our fellow citizens. Their are those just looking for a reason to attack us. Some don't need a reason, just an opportunity. We are in this together and we need to remember that when we stand together we have a chance of survival.
Let us walk together and live together and have a future together.
