I was just thinking yesterday, I remember how the Republican establishment gloated when Charlie Crist knocked off his conservative primary challenger for the gov of FL.
I mean, they GLOATED. And he was such a creep, so obvious!
And when he turned out to be a soulless sellout, I gloated - but I also cried. Because people DO get the government they deserve, ultimately, and they drag me along with them.
I am remembering a conversation I had with a legal immigrant from Russia this a.m. He and his family’s background was of the religion most moslems attack. He spent many years in obtaining permission for his family to leave Russia. The most memorable part of the conversation am recalling this a.m. was where he stated, “Every man, woman, and child receives the government they deserve.” He went on to say he came to America because for he and his family America offered the best hope of all nations for a time of peace. Our conversation was twenty-five years ago and over the years we have remained in touch with one another. Today my friend is not as happy as once was to be an American citizen but to quote him, he says only this ... “There is no place to run. America is this world’s best prayer for peace. Now I sit and can only pray for this has become, nothing of what once was.”
