deny Justice and Equality for all
Trickle Down Reagan was no more saint than Obama, the second coming. Let's stop expecting angels in the White House and start replacing the demons in SCOTUS, Congress and GOP held state legislatures.
We recapture our national character by immolating heroic behavior of First Responders, Goodwill, Employment Agencies, Social Workers, Counselors for Bully targets and victims of Domestic Violence, Rape and mass murder.
I'm impressed by the accomplishments of First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I agree with Senator Sanders, but we're not a one issue nation with a pocketful of simple answers. We are both House Divided and leader in a shrinking village ever more violent, against the very life of the planet and all life upon it.
And to all Obama haters, yes I prefer Presidents who must be dragged into war kicking and screaming -- the Constitutional Lawyer cool, a plus -- and I'm happy bigotry has wasted billions fighting an idea of hope that few can courageously embrace in time of peril.
Anyone can believe when times are without challenge, but America's true courage and character were exemplified by Charleston families and friends left behind by American gun violence.
Yet while President Obama pinpricks ISIS to increasing effect, we're risking becoming world police, forever imprinted with Good Kill and Imperialism.

For unions, it's like a global Scott Walker Koch head Christmas wish list come true; for America, the final nail in the coffin of our often touted Exceptionalism.

In 2016 we have the freedom to recapture our essence, or in fear and denial, continue to look the other way.
