We’re supposed to be kind people. What’s happening to FR. We’re all going to get old someday. I’m 82.

“We’re supposed to be kind people.”

But we’re not supposed to be stupid gullible people.

Cynicism, bitterness, and just plain hate. However, there is such a thing as righteous anger. But even at that, we’re told not to let the sun go down on our anger. It isn’t mentally, emotionally, or spiritually healthy. But personally, I do not like to be lied to. The Bible doesn’t preach tolerance, but it does preach forgiveness. What are we to do with those who refuse to ask for forgiveness?

So many are giving jaded responses, because many of us are rather certain we are being lied to by our government about Mitch’s heath status.

Many here are also angry that even now, there is no official
statement from Mitch or anyone speaking for him, that he now resigns from all political duties!

We all wish him a good recovery, but that can and should be done in the privacy of his home, not the Senate Chambers!

What’s happening to FR.

Way too many posters seem to be in a contest to see who can post the snarkiest most inappropriate comment first followed by dozens of emojis laughing at their own comments. It is almost like there is a prize to be "The first worst comment".

I suspect some are trolls but some show membership over many years in their profiles. IMO The trend parallels the lack of taste many social media sites have developed over the past few years.

Re “… We’re supposed to be kind people. What’s happening to FR. We’re all going to get old someday. I’m 82...”

Respectfully, Getting old is not the issue.

This country is where it’s at right now. BECAUSE we were too kind.

McConnell had a lot of opportunities to help move this agenda forward and he chose to Stonewall it, and then he insured further stonewalling when he elevated Thune.

I’m no spring chicken either, but I don’t wanna see my grandchildren, living under communism or any other deviant leftist dystopian fantasy because people like McConnell were too stupid, arrogant, or compromised to stop the slide.

The time for being kind and playing nice is long past.

I am assuming you are retired at 82.

If you weren’t, do you think it would be important to let your employer know you were alive?

If you’re as healthy as my mother in law, (ie. as stubborn as she is) you have at least 15 years ahead of you! Enjoy! ;)

Stay out of political office at this point. Go for walks. Tend to the garden. Spend time with your grand or great-grandchildren. Read some good books.
