Divide and Conquer
October 01, 2012 | 06:09 PM
What has happened to self-control and tolerance? On personal levels, we can disagree and we are just “in disagreement”. However, when it comes to the political arena, if we disagree with our current leader who may be of a different color, we are racially motivated. Whose idea is it that if you disagree with someone of a different “color” you are racially prejudiced? Certainly, it is not mine, nor that of any of my racially mixed family. Where and when was this division line drawn…that has separated friends, neighbors and co-workers? I am sick of it. In addition, we have both Democrats and Republicans in our family. We disagree with each other on many political fronts. But one thing we do agree on is that America cannot survive as a leader among nations if we, as a people, continue this downward spiral economically and morally. While, as with most families, we continue to make efforts to do what we can to make a living and protect and provide for our members, we are painfully aware of how easily the prevailing political atmosphere can bring division.
