I looked through a local paper today and saw the heading, “Restore Democracy.” Under the heading was information on those working to recall Gov. Rick Synder. It reminded me of a bumper sticker I saw recently that said, “We Want Our Country Back: Defeat Obama.”
I guess I’m one of those people who believes our country hasn’t left and our democracy is intact. Accepting the importance of dissenting views is actually a hallmark of our democracy and our country. I find it frustrating when those on the left and the right use overheated rhetoric toward their own political end.
It isn’t that I don’t have strong feelings on political issues, I do. I just don’t think the health of the American Republic depends on my favorites being in power.
