Heard that the dems are being threatened with assassination

The Republican Right instigated the violence being hurled against Democratic lawmakers. However, they will never admit it. They are like the manipulative bully on the playground who gets his friends to beat up your child, partly in order to avoid blame, and partly because manipulation is so delicious.

What's sad is that we all know it is true; the Republicans have created an environment in which violence is acceptable, and retribution is becoming the norm.

What's also sad is that Americans, over time, will really like much of the legislation passed in this bill: they'll get coverage even with pre-existing conditions, they can't be dropped automatically if they get sick, etc.

I can only suggest that we hold on, continue forward, bring out the love and light and reason of Christ, and pray to Him to grace us with the wisdom to see His plan, and to adjust our will accordingly . . . and also, to pray that He gives us the patience to listen to others, and overall, the love to accept them.

I love you, my Republican brethren, I truly do. However, I hate what you're doing - the dissemination of lies and the fostering of mistrust, to the point where citizens threaten the lives of lawmakers who pass a bill that gives Americans health care. The absolute insanity of it makes my guts hurts.

But still, I love.
