Editor,
Our nation is in political crisis. In my view it is due to the unusually dangerous divide within the Republican party. This divide is actually threatening the continuation of our normal democratic system of government.
Within the Republican ranks, some of the most negative aspects of human nature are being played out. These aspects include casting blame, anger, attacks and violence. It is running rampant and has divided the GOP members of Congress.
However, I choose to believe that in a very few years the GOP is going to re-emerge as our sensible and normal functioning political party. But this takes time.
We need patience. We need sensible GOP candidates running for office. And we average Americans need to respond appropriately and do whatever we each can to contribute to our nation’s ‘healing to wholeness’.
