[rusty schucklefurd] Well said, and I completely agree with you.
It would be nice to leave the divisiveness behind, but so to do is to capitulate to hate-filled agitators and cynical politicians on the make. We must defend our symbols and our ideals, as well as our laws and our government, against such people.
Demonization calls for a defense, not a wrongheaded surrender and promise to "do better". One can never satisfy such people; they will become your masters and your tormentors forever.
