“Keep the temperature down from the rhetoric.” (President Obama, 7/17/15.) Another day in the life of a nation for which violence is as natural as the sun rising, the sun setting. We talk at each other, many of us trying to find fault, most of us preferring to place blame, too few of us looking for real answers. More ‘Breaking News’, more talking heads, more anger but little resolve. Prayers abound, moments of silence profoundly deafening, vigils waiting to light the night skies…until the next hateful incident promotes another day of the same.
The Congress has spent millions of dollars trying to behead politicians regarding Benghazi, millions more spent by Congress to repeal ObamaCare, now millions are being spent to rid the nation of Planned Parenthood Clinics…BUT Racism, Xenophobia and Bigotry, and of course Violence by Guns and the Good Guys who turn Bad as they use their guns to kill the Innocent, the only coast for that is Denial. Congress is Out Of The Office for 7 Weeks, so little rhetoric will be shared by them. Once these days pass and the future arises I doubt if anyone will ever reminisce and say “These were the good old days.”
