Do you ever wonder who are we and have become? I do. Growing up the Golden Rule was the standard we lived by and taught our children to do likewise. Today it seems that the nastier and more demeaning you can be is acceptable.
Those running to be leaders in the GOP exploit demeaning and hateful speech. They call themselves the family values and pro-life party, but their actions are anything but consistent with that label. How can anyone be pro-life and continue to allow students and young adults be killed in their classrooms, churches, grocery stores and concerts venues? They refuse to expanded background checks for gun purchases. How can they support family values and refuse to fund programs that provide food and shelter for those in need?
They scream from the halls of Congress that immigrants are overrunning our border, and in the next breath they loudly proclaim they will not pass a bi-partisan bill which they haven’t even read. But fixing problems is not in their wheelhouse. Instead, they follow the ex-president’s directive to perpetuate the problem to help his re-election – which Brandon Williams supports. No surprise, he votes over 90% of the time Elise Stefanik and Margorie Taylor Green .
Whom do you see when you look in the mirror? Someone filled with hate and grievances who works to divide us? Or one who follows the Golden Rule to help unite us?? Your November vote will give the answer.
