I am trying to decide whether or not it is appropriate to use Facebook as a platform for sharing why I am so disheartened by America today. I know that a lot of people don’t care to read about politics on FB, and I know and love many people who have different political leanings than I do, but today I am having a hard time keeping my thoughts to myself.
I am saddened by the lies that led to the watering down of the Affordable Health Care Act, and I am upset by the power that health insurance companies have over the lives of Americans, including my husband’s.
I am ashamed for what happened to the Wall Street Occupiers last night.
I don’t understand how Herman Cain, a man with zero political experience and a history of assaulting women, can continue to be a frontrunner in the Republican presidential race.
I hate that people seem to have more compassion for an 80-something coach who was fired for a failure of ethics than for children who were raped and abused.
I don’t comprehend the language of “take our country back.” I would much rather move our country forward, away from the evil, hateful things that are happening now.
I posted this today as a Facebook note and wanted to put it here on my blog, too.
