A not so thin line between love and hate

Seems the leaders of Murrieta, CA are flummoxed because people across America think the good folks of their town aren't compassionate because they a) spit at, b) screamed at until they were red in the face, and c) intimidated so much that their buses fled, a bevy of women and children from nations in Central America trying to escape violence and suppression in their native lands, and find safety and a better life here in America.

Who could have ever fucking guessed?

You know what's left unsaid?  This isn't just the people of Murrieta--it's the modern incarnation of the republican party.  It's reached a point where it's become the party of inclusion (us, Democrats, Liberals, Progessives, the good guys) versus the party of hate.

For the sake of all the ideals American stands for (those realized and those yet to be), this is not a battle we can afford to lose.

Peace,
