Not that I claim to run a fair and balanced blog – far from it. I’m just shouting out to the world: BEWARE!
Otherwise the chickens, or as the case may be, the pigeons will come home to roost and the world will be a darker place.
But let us give some republican voices the last word in this week of marveling at the Republican National Convention.
“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” — Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina
“I don’t think this guy has any more core principles than a Kardashian marriage.” — Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska
“We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in Charleston. I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the K.K.K. That is not a part of our party.” — Nikki Haley, Republican governor of South Carolina
“God bless this man” — Daily Stormer, white supremacist website
More of these can be read in the Kristof editorial where I found these: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/opinion/what-republicans-really-think-about-trump.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-right-region®ion=opinion-c-col-right-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region
The stars (and stripes) will loose their luster, if we do not contribute our energy, time, money or whatever other resources we have, in this campaign season.

There have always been people (men, and maybe even some women) who hate anyone different from themselves. I am guessing that they have no self-esteem, and transfer all of their failures in life onto others. They would indeed bless Trump.
But it is amusing and amazing to witness people like Graham forced by extreme behaviors within their ‘party’ to denounce their candidate. Their lip service to values reveals that they are still evil. Everything I’ve read about those sad times when religious and class systems ruled the land is being played out yet again in this election.

Ruth Ginsberg was correct in denouncing Trump.. How would you like being the one Jew with a pulpit In Germany who did not call out Hitler because of popular sentiment of limitations? This election shows how far we are from justice and close to Ayn Rand’s dream dystopia.
