What have we come to.....

As a nation of immigrants (all of us, even the Native Americans) came here from another continent.None of us can claim to be a true American.  What we can do is learn to tolerate and even perhaps, learn to appreciate others who are different....either by religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, sex, ....It is not required that we form close friendships with everyone we meet.  However, we do need to be open to new people, foods, thoughts, ideas, music, art.....

I realize I am rambling.  I simply don't understand the hate that has erupted in this country.  Was it always here, but more closely concealed?
If we wish to claim that we are a Christian Nation, first we have to follow the teachings of Christ.  If you don't know what he says about feeding the poor, sheltering the homeless and loving thy neighbor....look it up.

I believe the Founding Fathers did the right thing when they added the amendment separating church and state.
Our churches should stay out of politics.  And our politicians should be faithful to the teachings of their religions.

The rest of us, those who are not religious, should just do the right things.
