I was struck with horror when I heard the news of the rampage in Arizona. The rhetoric of hate that dominates our politics has to cease. The words that have been so casually thrown about.... by those who seek power have found there mark.... with someone who acted put their words.
It is time we all stop and say enough us enough...we are Americans...and we live by the rule of law and fair play. We refuse to become a nation of bullies. For all those who have been silent and have sat on the sidelines while words of hatred, prejudice, extremism and threats are thrown about---it is absolutely crucial we speak and demand that we will not be part of the culture of hatred.
If not...then the risk we run is great. Once guns and violence are seen as the method to be used to intimidate and change government policy, we have lost all we thought we were.
As I pray for the congresswoman and all those who have been killed or wounded, I also pray for the soul of our nation. May we remember what we can be...instead of what we are becoming.
