I ...I agree with you about the red and blue states. I think we need to show more of the diverse views all over the country otherwise we just end up using labels and not understanding the concerns beneath. Good point about Veterans, Letty.

They are always thoughtful.marthaslavin.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103331217021325363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202288049668006882.post-73340395488484691852016-11-15T18:54:05.883-08:002016-11-15T18:54:05.883-08:00I am glad for blogs and the internet and places wh...I am glad for blogs and the internet and places where we can share our words, thoughts, joys and pains.

I've come to resent the media for labeling every state and every person living in those states as red or blue. They started that back in the late 80's, and I've come to realize that labeling is part of our national woes. Yes, we are each different but so deeply alike in our belief in our freedoms. Watching how we treat our Veterans now, as opposed to how we treated them after Vietnam is tribute to our hearts. No we are not perfect in any way, but we all have hearts.

I agree with your quote. We all need to stand up to be counted.

Presidents leading us into war, I gather? My 103 year old father has seen worse, with Presidents leading us into the Depression and war. I've never been one to catastrophize because I'm a survivor.
