A friend asked me “How can you remain so optimistic, when we live in a world led by megalomaniacs, haters, and liars?”
My New Years Thought
Citizens United and the Forgotten America
I have never heard anyone say this election was about Trump, nationalism or rejection of America’s role in the world.
Will young people vote in 2016 ?
It seems cruel that the future of twenty year olds should be cast by older people that want to live in the past.
America’s Saul
If we elect Hilary Clinton, we can fix the problem in four years. If we elect Trump, like Saul, the damage may take us 40 years to clean up.
Lies ….. and the politics of fear
Nobody is benefiting more from American world leadership than Americans.
What happened to Virtue ?
Voters in America and Romania would be wise to heed these warnings
Two votes …… for two completely different purposes
If we want clean air, clean hospitals and ambulances with working defibrillators we must stop trusting political parties to choose our elected representatives.
A blessing that proved true
In April 2006, a friend, Dave Peterson, gave me this blessing. Today, ten years later, I have the privilege to share the fruit of this blessing at Crossroads in Cincinnati. It holds true for all of us.
America is great, Today
We have a disinformation war in America – a scare tactic led by our political parties and politicians. It is sad to return home and hear “I can make America great again” from Presidential candidates. America is great today.
The Way Forward
Article 1 of our Constitution guarantees that we will be “governed by the rule of law, in which human dignity, the citizens’ rights and freedoms, the free development of human personality, justice and political pluralism represent supreme values”. If the first law of our country is ignored by our leaders, all other laws are meaningless.
