As our nation becomes more clearly polarized it is important to heed these words; “When you ally yourself with evil, the enemy of your friend becomes the target for your own evil.” Casting aside all personal attacks, those who stand in opposition to Hillary do so based on her political precedent that is starkly contrasted against Judeo-Christian values. Those are not white values, but the values of the Judeo-Christian block of humanity who stands on the law of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as our standard for righteousness. Those moral guideposts led to the Declaration of Independence and the foundation of this nation, they emboldened those who abolished slavery, led the woman’s suffrage movement, fought to end racial discrimination and Jim Crow. We stood against the KKK and arm in arm with the impoverished and under-represented. It was the obedience to and reverence of God which created the society in which unrestrained human creativity led to the automobile, airplane, smallpox vaccine, and the internet. Those of us who held our nose and voted for Trump, do not condone the racist sentiments of the small minority of his supporters, just the same as my dear liberal friends do not stand side by side with the violence in Fergusson, or murder of police officers in Dallas. Regardless of your political leaning, we as decent members of society cannot fall into the pit of lumping our political opponents with the worst ignorant fools on either side. Those whom we can laugh and jest about our different beliefs on fiscal policy or opinions of the best means of providing quality health care to the poor of society must remain our friends. We must remain civil. Debate leads to progress. Division leads to tyranny.
