Life can be an amazing journey. We each have a unique life experience based on our individual choices. I have had the privilege of encountering many interesting people, Mike Stafford, an active Republican in the state of Delaware, is one of those amazing people.
He has written a very thoughtful Book, “An Upward Calling : Politics for the Common Good”, a comprehensive commentary on the state of the Republican Party. Please, allow this to be an opportunity to have a thoughtful discussion, avoid personal attacks and pretend like we are on the same team, the American team. In the end, we are all on this journey together, whether we like it or not!
I have reposted this opinion piece on the book from Dave Burris, however, I believe this book is worth the purchase!

Things have gotten out of hand.
Recently in Slate, Jacob Weisberg wrote a description of today’s Republican Party that hit home with me. He said the GOP:
“…has moved to a mental Shangri-La, where unwanted problems (climate change, the need to pay the costs of running the government) can be wished away, prejudice trumps fact (Obama might just be Kenyan-born or a Muslim), expertise is evidence of error, and reality itself comes to be regarded as some kind of elitist plot.”
