Take Courage March for Our Lives People!

Johnson and Nixon et al did everything they could to discredit the Vietnam era peace movement. I expect we will see equally vicious efforts to discredit the March for Our Lives movement after the large nationwide turnout on March 24, 2018. I expect some who support this movement will be made to pay dearly. Those who control so much money and power do not let go easily. Take courage and do not give up! It is a long, uphill journey, but worth persisting.

What I Do and Don't Understand about Trump, Clinton, and Obama

I understand having political disagreements with Barak Obama. I understand not voting for Hillary Clinton. I even understand voting for Donald Trump because no other option seemed viable. But I don’t understand how the real or imagined shortcomings of Obama and Clinton are a defense of Trump’s serial adultery and sexual predation. How can someone who has violated his marriage commitments be trusted to honor his oath of office? I don’t understand how what Obama or Clinton did or didn't do justifies undermining a century of hard work by both parties to establish protections for civil rights, for the environment, consumers, and workers, or for folk who are disabled, sick, young, old, and poor. I am incredulous that so many who claim to follow Jesus or the Bible so readily dismiss serious flaws of moral character with nary a hint of the fruit worthy of repentance. (Matthew 3:8; Luke 3:8)
