Re: Mind's Eye Re: Separatists, separation, independence and freedom

people who make politics their life never do anything but.  I know plenty of politicians who also support family and community.  Every politician affiliated with with Republican party is not as you imply, you are generalizing and applying bias.  No sweat, it is done all the time.  I encourage a different view, but it doesn't change the state of US politics.  I am not so sure it wasn't the same when Washington or Lincoln were president.

politics will always do what politics does.  It is by nature divisive. When the voting is over, we still have to come together to implement law in communities and live together.

That is very true, usually you find what you are looking for.

As for politics. I remember those days, sadly it started down hill with Reagan. It seems in the US politics has lost its connection  with humanity and for the good of the community. Now it is only for what the politicians can get.

When the republican house voted to sue the president, I wonder if they realize the can of worms they opened. Have they considered that accepting a cup of coffee from a person seeking a political favor is in reality a bribe. All of the house members have gone far beyond that. I think it is referred to as SOP or standard operating procedure. May be they need to be sued for accepting a bribe, hiding it under just doing their job.

Politics has radically changed.

Anyone looking for an enemy will find one.  Opposition is common and often brings misery. Unity is extraordinary and often brings joy. My mentor was head of the Republican party in our county for decades and a master politician. But one thing he taught all of us lucky enough to be in a position to learn from him, was to unify people to create change. This is a change that lasts, and I can see that many of the grass roots programs that we put into place in the county are still going strong today, powered by people who volunteer their time and money to make their community a great place to live and raise their children. With enough people working together like this, a community is strong enough to endure problems that come up, and resolve conflicts created by those who thrive on opposition and misery. This happened under his watch, and continues to happen in that community, because he acted as a compassionate human being first, and sought to improve all lives in the county, not worrying about affiliations or judgments.  He left that to the political system, one of the strongest in the state. He also did not mind at all that I had no interest in the politics.  A person had to be a republican to hold office in that county it seemed, but to work as a grass roots activist working for the common good organizing communities to support families and children, everyone was welcomed and supported. You might be surprise just how many people in a community fit that description, given conditions to succeed.

Common interest is what unites people together. This interest can change very fast making enemies out of friends and visa versa in a matter of minutes.

I don't think that opposition is what binds us together - a common reason to be against. .....Our differences, on occasion, may create movement between us.  But so do our similarities. .....
