Troubled

I so wanted to write something light and cheerful this week. But I must be honest. I am troubled. I am troubled by the forces in the U.S. that are working to make hatred the new normal. A nation of over 300 million diverse people cannot live peaceful productive lives if the haters win.

The U.S., for all its faults has more and more marginalized hate groups. But now we are faced with groups that preach hate against white Americans, against America itself, against any who disagree with them, against Christianity, against Republicans, against Democrats, etc. For these groups it is not enough to disagree…but there must be hate and destruction of those disagreed with.

We must stand against this madness. We need to start a new campaign. A lifelong campaign against hatred. The haters must be defeated no matter how they justify their hate.
