I (like many others) share your angst over this horrible administration, but please don't abandon your blog. Your thoughts are always so well expressed and they express the thoughts of others. In these times, we need to see the words of kindred spirits, even as we work to counteract the ills afflicting our land right now. Your words give strength.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-90880079300086365902019-11-07T19:27:19.883-05:002019-11-07T19:27:19.883-05:00Thank you for this post.

This is much larger than if one agrees with the choice of blog topic or the opinion you relate. It asks us to examine our action or lack thereof and encourages us to be better citizens. It is a reminder that we have choices and that antipathy and complacency has no place in these times. I cannot thank you enough for the courage you have.Maudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349401508545922043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-29733784243726517712019-08-08T17:10:31.057-04:002019-08-08T17:10:31.057-04:00Pamela, This is an excellent post.

The present occupant of the White House does empower some crazy people rather than bring the nation together to deal with this moral issue.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-32809072959085598742019-08-08T10:53:10.046-04:002019-08-08T10:53:10.046-04:00A blog is nothing if it does not express the true ...A blog is nothing if it does not express the true heart of the blogger. You must be genuine if you are to be believed. Anyone who has followed you on this wonderful journey that is your life knows that you do not carelessly insert your views on the politics of the day, nor do you seek to point fingers of blame against the innocent. Anyone who knows you even through only the filters of this blog should know that you do not have a heart to divide. But there comes a time when division is necessary. You must be true to the message that is in your heart to convey. When it's necessary to express alarm for strands of ideology that will warp the moral fabric of this land if they are allowed to remain in the weave, there is no need for apology. Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the fracas, and make a stand on higher ground.

I love your blog, Pamela. I...Please, no politics. I love your blog, Pamela. I love hearing about your furry family members and your writing. It's a refuge from the real world. If I want politics I can turn on the news. It's easy to blame these tragic incidents on the current occupant of the White House, but the perpetrators of these acts were people that had long standing emotional and psychological problems and most likely would have committed these acts no matter who was president. The real problem is people's access to guns, specifically high powered fire arms. I don't advocate for taking away everyone's guns either. To me, that doesn't seem a realistic solution. It would just create a black market. Nor can I believe this was what the founding fathers intended when they declared that we have the right to bear arms. No one ever said people have the right to own automatic weapons. No one needs an automatic weapon. The problem with our elected officials - all of them - is that they no longer care about doing what is best for the people they represent. They don't talk to one another or make an attempt at reaching solutions. They only point to "the other", their political opponent, in their own interest and in the interest of getting elected or re-elected.

The breakdown of our government is equally due to rhetoric from both sides of the isle. Divisions among our American brothers and sisters started long before Trump was elected. I do not like him and I did not vote for him. I wish he would choose his words wisely but the clap back is just as awful. There are no adults left in Washington whether red or blue stripe. What I am seeing and hearing this week is doing nothing to heal this country. It is time to step back and become rational before getting in front of a tv camera be it politician or ‘news’ journalist. The victims deserve better, their families deserve better. The American people deserve better.

I think what galls me the most, is when his followers say if we don't love him and America we should leave. Any candidate opposing him is preferable, yet, I don't think a single one of them can beat him. I hope someone steps up soon.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-73168617875660081052019-08-07T16:36:32.670-04:002019-08-07T16:36:32.670-04:00my eyes are full of tears.

WHERE are the dogs of congress? the watchdogs? are they ALL in the powerful greedy pockets of the NRA and other lobbies? to the detriment of America at its core? this is worse than anything I've known or heard about and I'm 74 years old. thank you for this post. thank you.
