Politically, America is feeling the heat

There will be more Jan. 6 hearings. There should be until every aspect of that horrible day is accounted for.Missouri Senate candidate Eric Greitens recently ran a commercial holding a shotgun surrounded by soldiers in tactical gear. “Today, we’re going RINO hunting,” said Greitens as he chambers a round.

RINO, of course, stands for “Republican in name only,” but a better definition today is “Republicans who don’t bow to Donald Trump.” The purge is real. We are not living in an age of nuance. “Get a RINO hunting permit,” Greitens said. “There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”We know from history the United States was conceived in violence — the American Revolution, and the four-year bloodbath of the Civil War. In both conflicts, the issues were specific, the right of the governed to choose their own leaders in one, slavery in the other.

Today’s battlelines are less clear. The problem is, each side sees the other as the embodiment of everything they loath: The right believes the left are America-hating neo-communists, and the left sees the right as fascists and racists. Not a lot of room for kumbaya here. I believe those of us lucky enough to be born in this country were gifted a remarkable birthright; we are citizens, not subjects, governed by the rule of law, free to pursue happiness, although not guaranteed happiness. Some of you do not share this feeling.
