The patriotic thing to do now is to work together to make a great America even better.
Here is a little something I wrote over on Facebook:
"The name-calling needs to stop. The personal attacks and belittling of individuals based solely on different political perspective needs to stop. All Americans need to pull together. Divisiveness will not accomplish anything positive. It is time for what I call some real D.I.R.T., i.e. Democrats, Independents, (and) Republicans (working) Together. If we, the American people, set aside the distrust, if we set aside the hostility, if we set aside the verbal tirades, if we set aside the casting of stones, if we set aside pointing out blame, if we set aside pettiness, we just might be able to work together for the mutual benefit of all Americans."
And here is something that my friend Carolyn wrote when some folks responded to that with negative comments:
"Enough said Roland, I got your back on this one. If people would put the effort into pulling together that they put into fighting, this world would be a much better place."
And, then, there is that which Judy wrote in her Judy's Jewels blog entry:
Thank You Mitt Romney
'Nuff said.

Y'know, my friend I think that would be easier to do, expept that politics have so co-opted the hot-button social issues. Too many Dems refuse to vote for any pro-life candidate for that reason alone and vice versa; too many immigrants won't vote for Romney because "he's a racist", too many GOP won't vote for a democrat over LGBT rights. And blacks would vote for satan if he were black. And too many groups that DO have a dog in the hunt vote for the party that least serves them because "my father did".
And what is worse, this became an election not about candidates or parties, but about whether we will do critical thinking and research candidates or just get our views from The View and David Letterman. Sadly, we chose the Entertainment Tonight method of choosing a president. And that, by far, is the worst result of last night.
I agree we should move on. But as a moral Christian person, how do I follow the path this nation has chosen?
