Oh the hate! She cries because of it and so do I

Yes, I am guilty too. Anytime someone said something I didn't like about my candidate or my beliefs, a boiling effect would arise in my gut and it wasn't a Colin problem. As time went on, I searched my heart and it happened because of an intense disagreement with my twin brother. It saddened me we would let politics come between our brotherly love and a friendship we hold dearly. I began thinking, what about those friendships outside the family? I love my friends, even the cyber ones and refuse to walk away from them over political disagreements. Crap! Don't hate! In four years join with like-minded souls and change it if you can. That's what the vote is for, but love thy neighbor as thy self. (Well, most neighbors. LOL) Really, joking aside, please love the people around you, your family and your friends. Stop the hate over politics, religion, the color of hair, or whatever! Just, please, Stop! Let's just agree to disagree if that's the case and move on. I love you, dear friends. I do!

So the issue I have is that they hate me. Just for being me.

This is not a two way street. It’s not a “both sides” issue. One side is the origin of the hatred.

All things are not equal. There is no unity with bigots and those that exploit other for their own gain.

There never will be. Ever.

Know who you are and love the person you have become. Celebrate yourself.

I do. Which is why I no longer forgive those who wish me dead

This is the best, most honest., realistic posting I have read her in days. We are all adults. We are each individuals. We have the right to our own brliefs. It is we who cannot tolerate each other. We have choices. This is why yhe ststes is so divided. Intolerance. Disrespect. Inhunanity. Choices. It comes down to choices. Choose wisely. Thsnk you, Cole, for your calm and good words in the current storm. Perhaps some will truly hear. It is not the end of the world. It only seems like it is. One does not have to give him that power.
