Yeah, I know, thanking a Republican?
But, wait a minute or six. We do have quite a few patriots and people driven by values and love of our beloved country, who happen to remember that we just disagree by a matter of degrees on policy points, who are Republicans who really ARE standing their ground against their “tribe.” They are putting country before Party!
I just looked at them, and I wondered, what if they weren’t there?
What IF we didn’t have that Republican named Christopher Wrey, right now?
Or, amazingly, Dan Coates?
Or, the entire 6 of them, in the picture above?
Yes, of course, people should be expected to be good, and right, and patriots … but when you mix power in, and power does have the power to corrupt, and do so absolutely.
I looked at that group of 6 people, tonight.
Those 6 are probably going to get Hell for standing firm, for truth together, and if ONLY ONE! sold out, it would have crumbled the truth and front and the reality they are holding firm for.
THAT is NOT a little thing.
In Nazi Germany, not enough people at this level did what this 6 did, today.
And, as a Democrat all my life and a far left one, at that, I’m going to make a point to send a small thank you card to each of the people in the above picture just from me, one citizen, to each of them — as people and fellow citizens.
Don’t know how I’m exactly going to address those cards, but I’m committed to not going to sleep tomorrow before those cards are bought, addressed, stamped and sent.
Thinking it’s the least I can do to stand with those 6 folks for our country.
Feels kind of good wanting to something with a group of fellow Americans, who just happen to be Republicans. I’m not too old to remember when that was possible, and I look forward to a time when that does become more normal, again.
