Our party has been one of grace and compassion. We tend to be benevolent, and that's a good thing. But with this cruel, lawless, evil Republican party perhaps we need a new tactic - fierce, aggressive, occasionally combative? I don't know, friends. I am truly at wits end. I read DU daily and read and listen to the news...but what we're doing isn't working. This is a critical point in our nation's history. It hurts beyond words to see what is happening to a country I once loved.
