In reply to the discussion: THE CHOICE: When 16 Year-Old Alyssa Douglas Calls For The President's Assassination on Twitter [View all]turtlerescue1
(1,013 posts)i had never been. Have been trying to convince myself that I am adult enough to be able to follow karlrove on Twitter. So after all my rush from Obama's words...see what 'they' were seeing/saying. Oh merciful God in heaven. Choosing to practice liberl and progressive Christianity is easy, living in a world where its constantly under attack by both sides is not.
The vile, angry hatred spewed onto my screen, like a drunk with the heaves. Truly this face fits
NOW I am concerned for the safety of the one person democracy needs in charge Today.
Maybe its cause I never got over JFK and RFK and MLK, or Kent State and this year at UCDAVIS. I don't know if its what my faith is founded upon, but both extremes need to heal. You can't build a bridge if you are building a wall. Sounds like somewhere it will be the middle between the two that will be where bridges are built. It's not me, I don't have that kind of resilience get too hurt too deeply and too easily, its a Joe Biden that could lead this. See it bothers me deeply, when Paul Wellstone ran against Rudy BOSHWITCH, there's Paul with his old green bus and that smile that just melts ice. He began rising in the polls, Professor Wellstone might go to D.C. I don't know if someone said it or I dreamt it, suddenly I feared he would be killed. When that plane went down with he and Sheila and so many, my gut response was :"The Sons of B..... killed him."
Some folks we just can't afford to lose, that our history both future and past are needed for. From what this 16 year old posted, until 2 a.m. I was see the same mindsets, oh its here on DU but not in overwhelming numbers. AND it may be vile but murder doesn't seem to be a focus or intent. Seriously I wonder how many "Stephens" will need to be killed by these "Sauls of Taursus" before the Light blinds them. OF course not having the brains got gave a rock, I posted as much...but was totally ignored. And the second time used Galatians 6:2.
All of us need to find some higher ground, one side a lot more than the other. And there's a good reason, a 16 year's posting.
