Focused Thought in 30 seconds



A personal thought:

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

I tend to evoke the Civil War a lot -- in the context of the GOP Civil War Era nullification of President Obama, particularly, but I work to stay away from evoking the Nazis. Having said that, sometimes it is just called for and that's what I thought when I read my friend's Facebook post, quoted in the meme above. Sometimes it's just true and sometimes it needs to be said and sometimes it needs to be shared. 

TY Pamela Campbell!
