I would be interested, though, in what you mean by "lead America to glory." Is this a religious statement?<br /><br />(Or maybe I'm talking to a bot, again.

Unhappiness (as you know) will do this.<br /><br />I hold onto MLK's words dearly, and in the long run, I believe justice will prevail, though perhaps never in a culture that puts capitalism over people. (No, this does not make me a communist, folks--Americans continue to confound economic systems with political ones.)<br /><br />The light is returning--hopefully our collective sanity will as well--if elections were held in June, our trend toward despotism would fail.<br /><br />~Michaeldoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-69026322422407482012017-01-08T09:53:09.552-05:002017-01-08T09:53:09.552-05:00Trump is a good tactician.

Now I'm not sure of anything. <br />There was a "do you live in a bubble" quiz circulating social media this week. Many of my college friends were surprised that they got low scores (thick bubble). I grew up where many people did not go to college. I grew up in the world of farming and manufacturing. Still, I was sure that those of use who remember Nixon and post-Reagan eras would vote for sanity. <br />One of MLK principles of nonviolence is that the universe is on the side of justice. I think that's my New Years wish.<br />Three more days until the sun clears the horizon a minute earlier each day.

And yet "we" still bought Trump's lies.<br /><br />To be fair, the tough guy knuckleheads I know did not vote for him, but I bet a lot of the wanna-be guys did--and what better rep for the wanna-bes than the PEOTUS?<br /><br />Always glad to see your words.<br /><br />~Michaeldoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-91625814419331212002017-01-06T19:33:25.867-05:002017-01-06T19:33:25.867-05:00If the situation we find ourselves in now wasn'...If the situation we find ourselves in now wasn't so sad, so frightening, this post could be humorous. Honestly I never thought about this from the vantage point of white men who didn't vote Trump even though had my husband lived he would never have casted that vote nor did any of my brothers.<br /><br />A poignant letter.<br /><br />Mary Ann Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349201167828984708noreply@blogger.com
