I'm posting this to bring our focus back around to what we're fighting for.We're working to expose and hasten the demise of a worldview filled with hatred, greed, racism and bigotry -- which today's Republican Party exemplifies in many ways -- and we're working TOWARD a world in which we know we're all in this together.
Unlike so many who identify as conservatives today, we have faith in one another; theirs is a worldview and mindset in which there is no faith in or respect for most of their fellow citizens, or fellow human beings for that matter.
We believe the better angels of our nature can and shall prevail.
Today is International Day of Peace .
K&R if you join me in holding this vision.

And where it has arisen, may it never diminish
And where it has not diminished, may it flourish abundantly.
