Right on the Left

  
      The left’s declared war on the right
         The right’s declared war on the left

      When they finish with each other
          In the center aught will be left

Hi Gershon, so much anger and violence. We feel helpless witnessing this unfold across the U.S. Prayers all around. Shalom ~

As long as Trump's at the helm, I don't feel helpless. He's really been a champion for law and order and a civil society -- regardless of the half-truths and lies the media print about him. ~ gw

When the dust finally clears, let's see if there's anything left here to build around. I suspect that some states, like Texas, will still be in decent shape. But woe to the 'Blue-Dog' states...

Line of scrimmage...only a new beginning...of the same race or game. I cannot ever assume that there is no right nor wrong...one can love wrong...but never compromise.

Well, I myself am happy to compromise with those who are also happy to do so -- in the name of peace and tranquility. ~ gw
