Thank You Again, Guys
Thank you again for pitching in to help me get a highly qualified Democrat elected in a swing district. I appreciate your time, your money, and your encouragement.
And thank you for giving me the day off to get everything straightened away and ready for a girlfriend to take over the majority of the project.
I’ll try to be back tomorrow. I just wanted you to know that everything’s okay.
Well, it’s not really.
Armed protest over the ability to go to Applebee’s.
Protesting violence against our fellow Americans.
There’s something real wrong.
Indeed.
1Something is truly wrong in this country.
follow the money.
2The cops are really brave when the protestors don’t have more firepower than they do. Nothing like unarmed people to…to what, I don’t know. This makes me ill.
3The land of the free and home of the brave is now the land of the racist and home of the entitled.
4I’ve watched the 1st episode of the History channel “Grant” miniseries. One of many telling aspects of the Man was when he was fighting poverty (and failure) he freed a slave that had been given to him/his wife by his slave holding father-in-law. As an asset, the *sale* of the slave could have been quite lucrative, and yet it wasn’t worth the value of a life lived free. Both for the former slave *and* slaveholder.
Our elected politicians either get that, or don’t, A life saved is worth more than profit for the overseers of our Economy to people of moral character…
5Have been watching Grant as well. He is written as symbol of a change in thinking that was reaching all levels of society, especially when he refuses to allow the defeated rebels at Vicksburg take their slaves with them upon withdrawal. The rebs get to keep the clothes on their backs, their rifles and their horses. They are speechless when Grant does not see slaves as property. They are aware of Lincoln’s perspective on slavery but they cannot fathom how it could have reached out and infected other people. Sadly, there are still folks who cannot fathom concepts such as selflessness in wearing a mask during a pandemic. They consider a maskless face an inherent right just as slave owners felt the same re: slaves. That, folks, is what we are dealing with.
