After last week's Primary results, I read on one of the blogs that Trump's nomination was going to be the end of the Republican Party.
Normally, that wouldn't sound too bad! The extreme religious conservatives have tweaked my butt, if you know what I mean. Also, the party drawing a line in the sand, crossing their arms across their heartless chests and refusing to play Operation Government is foul! Everyone of those jerks needs a red card and to be thrown off of the playing field.
Yet, the thought of no Republicans is also very scary.
I am a Democrat (like you didn't know!). I would say I'm halfway between moderate and woo-woo! I probably even stand on the conservative side on some issues (but none come to mind!).
Many of my friends, including my husband and two of my children lean towards conservative thinking. Actually, my hubby is very conservative, even though he is a registered Democrat. (Boy, some of our 'discussions' have been doozies!).
Most of my closest friends are liberal, very liberal, in fact.
In spite of our differences, together, we know how to communicate, collaborate, cooperate! Even when we agree to disagree, there is (for the most part) a peacefulness about it.
We need at least two political parties, though I wish the people of this nation were more open to allowing some of the other parties on the playing field instead of just running up and down the sidelines.
We need a Republican party. We need a Democratic party. We need people with conservative thoughts and ideas and we also need liberal thinkers.
Most important is the need for balance, integrity, for cooperation.
We, also, need to climb out of the labeled boxes we have stuffed ourselves into, release the egotistical desire to be called the 'Winner' and just be people who want the world to work for the betterment of people, animals, and earth.
Sidenote: If any of you sight the Mother ship, let them know I am packed and waiting.

I totally agree. Everything works better for us when there is cooperation and we are open to other's ideas. We don't have to like everything but when we know that all opinions have been considered and there was no extremism on either side, we can live with it. Of course, I know that will never happen in today's bitter politics, where moderation has become a dirty word.
