A Rare Thing [View all]

I live in a red town in a blue state; that means that we don't let our guard down, we're always working on something. Last night we had another phone bank. We’ve got some terrific Democratic candidates for local office, and there are some issues that we’re working on as well. When we finished for the night we sat back and chatted for a bit.

The subject of Syria came up, and we talked about the various pros and cons. Interesting that in a room full of very ardent Democrats no voices were raised in accusation of President Obama; no, it wasn’t a case of “he can do no wrong”, we often discuss areas where we disagree with steps he has taken. The point is, we can disagree without condemning or accusing. That’s a rare thing in some places. I’m damned glad to have my local Democrats to talk with.
