The 10 Days That Changed This Country Forever
June 27, 2015 By Allen Clifton
I’ve dedicated a good portion of my life to following politics. In just over two years I’ve written well over 2,000 articles on the topic, and dedicated countless hours to discussions, debates and diatribes from pissed off conservatives. In that time I’ve experienced great victories, crushing defeats, moments of pure jubilation and moments of tremendous sorrow. As someone who cares about politics and policies, it’s a subject that can truly keep you on an emotional rollercoaster. There are moments where I’ve never been more proud to do what I do and days where I literally have to keep from throwing my laptop into the wall.
But I’m not sure if I’ve ever witnessed anything like we’ve seen in this country over the last 10 or so days.
Sadly, it started with a horrific tragedy on June 17 when nine African-Americans were brutally gunned down by a racist animal in what was one of the worst racially charged acts of violence we’ve seen in this country in a very long time. But even from that we saw something truly amazing that one might not expect to see so soon: Forgiveness.
Some of the families of those slain by this coward forgave him in a moment that gave many goosebumps. Instead of giving this racist domestic terrorist what he wanted, they took that power away from him and those like him. They weren’t going to help feed the hate and anger that had consumed him and those who share his views.
