Speaking to the Base



Divisive politics. Sad and disappointing -- but no longer surprising.

I held my nose and voted for McCain last time around, but consoled myself that at least Obama's election would perhaps serve to finally heal the racial wounds in the country. Now, amazingly enough, the scabs have been picked off the wounds and the trans-racial chasm is wider and deeper than ever. And this guy seems intent upon using these divisive tactics to keep us apart. Scary.

It's always easier to break a glass than to either build it in the first-place or to put a broken-glass back together. Let' pray that the Union of this nation is stronger than the forces trying to pull us apart.
