Beverly's Notebook blog was started to keep in touch with a wide circle of family and friends. It goes to people in New England, in the East, South, mid West, Missouri and on the coast, as well as in England, Paris and Denmark. Readers are members of the Democratic and Republican parties. Included are Independents, Libertarians, members of the Tea Party, and a few Daughters of The American Revolution. Many are passionate about their political beliefs.
I would like to stay out of the political morass we are in, but I cannot do so. The discourse in our country at this time, is disquieting. It is hateful, and tears down institutions and people who have served our communities and nation well. As a result, I share with all of you who, along with me, are heirs of immigrants, something that my grandmother and parents reminded me of often. "Life is a constant fight that needs to be fought rationally and with passion for the truth."
In spite of plans that may have been less than adequate to meet the mess we are in, in spite of administrative judgement and appointments that I found troublesome, I will go the polls remembering words from the past that will help gain a more equitable, sustainable future for this country, my grandchildren and me. I will vote for the Democrats in November.

And I will vote for the Republicans.
ReplyDeleteAnd the people -- WE the people, ALL of us -- will have the final say.
God bless America!
What troubles me is not the Democrats or Republicans but the Tea Party revisionism that champions the ideas and ideals of the John Birch Society which demeans our very Constitution in its efforts to "restore" it. And with it, they seek to destroy our most precious freedom, the separation of Church & State. Anyone who isn't trembling, is two Martinis ahead of me.
