Finally the torture of constant bombardment of propaganda and confusing rhetoric, known as a Presidential campaign, has concluded. A conclusion that no one I know, ever viewed as probable. There has been a toll paid by each of us during this last year, a result of the propaganda rhetoric has cost relationships for just about everyone. The sharp divide in our society has been widened by half truths and innuendo which taint our perceptions.
There is no time for the victor, of this process, to gloat. Our country is weakened when divided by ideology and anger and now is the time for rebuilding what has been lost. It is a time for rewinding all those individual threads, we have been divided into, into the strong, intertwined cable of one nation. This is a time for us to unite behind a President-elect who, at most, satisfies only partially what we wanted as a president.
There is little time for despair for those who fought so fervently to prevent the election of a man they perceive to be unsuitable to be our leader. What ultimately took place did not look, even remotely, possible until the last few hours in this hard fought contest. Understandably shocked disbelief will bring stages of grief to be suffered over the loss of this battle, but hopefully, our nation will come out of this stronger and eventually more unified than it has been in years. God willing.
Now is the time for we the people to unite in the cause of repairing and rebuilding our nation. Now is the time to re-affirm our position in the world as a peacekeeping force, leading from a position of power. Now is the time for we the people to force our governance to serve us rather than self-serving particular ideologies and political parties. Now is the time for all of us to sift the fact from the fiction and to discard perception in favor of truth. That will be no easy task after being force-fed fear and distrust of the man chosen to be President-elect.
Some thoughts we all might ponder and spend some time considering:
Because you want to vet incoming refugees does not mean you hate all Muslims. The Muslims in our country need protection from Islamic terrorists and Sharia law as much or more than the rest of us.
Because you want to build a wall across our Southen border does not mean you hate Latino’s. It simply means you want to prevent illegal entry into our country and to prevent the flow of illegal narcotics. The “coyote” smuggling business is guilty of atrocities against many of the Latino’s they charge $$ to bring through the open border.
Because you want to give inner city children of minorities a chance of school choice doesn’t mean you hate minorities.
Because you want the rule of law, including that of immigration, doesn’t mean you hate immigrants. It simply means you want it done legally.
Because you want to rebuild our military and re-examine our rules of engagement, doesn’t mean you want to blow up the world.
And the list continues almost into infinity.
I would suggest for our own good that we give a bit of time to see if he really loves our country. A bit of time to see if he really intends to help the inner cities. Time to see if he will be President for all of We the People.
Pray for our country, pray for our people
Pray that this man will help heal our nation and repair the divide
God Bless the USA
