It is obvious that America has become two peoples, two cultures,
and two countries. What is not so
obvious is why. But one great truth must
be heeded, “…if a
house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”
There may however be a different tale. It seems to me that this division is mostly
played out over the airways and ethersphere but not necessarily in the byways
and neighborhoods of America. It may be
that this division is more a ploy to sell advertising than it is a recounting
of fact. Sure there is Meryl Streep and
Rush Limbaugh, Andrea Mitchell and Dennis Miller, Whoopi and Ann Coulter. But then there are my neighbors, two of
which are politically opposite of me.
The difference is that we love and care for one another, would never
place our politics between our homes and we are never on TV. Maybe we should turn off our enemies and be
with our neighbors. Just a thought
before we turn on Facebook or CNN.
PS: The same Person who
said the “house divided” quote also said the “neighbor” thing. Maybe instead of turning off the media we
should read The Book He wrote.
