Alexis wrote:Words of wisdom from President Trump
We may have our differences, but we do well, in times like these, to remember that everyone who serves in our nation’s capital is here because, above all, they love our country.
We can all agree that we are blessed to be Americans, that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace, and that we are strongest when we are unified and when we work together for the common good.
Note 1 : When a good word is uttered, even by somebody one usually opposes or even despises, it is in good form to signal agreement
Note 2 : Donald J. Trump, for better or for worse, has been elected president by the American people. Taking part to an election means agreeing in advance to be bound by its result and recognize its legitimacy, even if one happens to have voted for the losing side, even if one happens to despise and passionately oppose the victor. When the legitimate president of one's country issues a call for national unity beyond differences, it is in good form to agree with him on that - if on nothing else
Note 3 : If I'm not wrong, the count of U.S. civil wars is presently at one (1). It would be better to keep it that way. Just sayin'...
I leave y'all American citizens standing to attention, listen to the national anthem, salute the flag, and remember that you love your fellow Americans
even those darn rightists / leftists.
Then, and only then, you can resume your quarrels, to your heart's content.
well said Alexis.
The shooter seemed to be just another snowflake (although an older one), who is obsessed with group identity, and bent on blaming society for his personal problems. The individuals I know who fit this description live in a self-made Hell. Swallowing everything the MSM feeds them with no powers of discernment.
His chosen POTUS deity did not make the first cut in the rough and tumble world of DNC team politics, and now the wrong person is in the Whitehouse. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!
I guess if one lives on a media diet of doomer porn long enough, it just might affect one's sense of perception. He was the logical product of those elitists whose superior powers of pessimism always find life does not measure up to their ideals.
"I just don't understand why more people don't share my opinions and frustration about how horrible things are. The end is neigh!!!!"
"You're probably right. Have a nice day!"
Or he coulda been an AGW True Believer, who had more integrity than most and just decided that suicide by cop would reduce green house gas production..... we need more analysis.....
sidenote: I heard about the shooting a couple hours after it happened, listened to the news for 30 minutes while driving, did not hear words "right wing" or "Tea Party" or "conservative" even once. So I said to a friend, "I'll bet you $100 the shooter is a Democrat."
What is Putin up to now? I thought he wanted Trump in the Whitehouse.....
