It's an important moment for us to come together here.

The word is out that the shooter is a far left Bernie supporter. I am not, but I recognize how incredibly painful this is going to be for people who love Bernie and all he represents. And it's not this.

So to all my Bernie supporting DU friends I say let us come together over this. Let's not use it for hatred toward one another or toward anyone. We have to rise above it. We need one another. We need to be Americans.

I hope with all my heart that the leaders follow suit.

1. Who you follow, what religion you practice, what ideology you pick...

are nothing more than rationalizations for mentally unbalanced behavior - by the deranged who take lives and create pointless mayhem, and those who need some kind of rational reason for an irrational behavior.

2. one of the most effective parts of the 'active measures' was the part

where they hammered on the division in our party, and hammered on how corrupt hillary was. this is a wound that was, for a change, not self inflicted.
folks got played, imho.

folks took a strong stand on principles. i salute their patriotism.
i hope this wound heals. we do, indeed, need one another more than ever.

3. I'm encouraging no "us" and "them" right now.

This is a result of the rise of hate. We need to rise above that level or we are doomed.

5. yup. and always be very suspicious of those trying to leverage

our differences.

4. Yes. K&R.
