Dear conservative and liberal friends and all candidates for office:
Insults are easy.
Critical thinking requires work.
Dismissing people for their color or gender negates civil debate.
Labeling and libeling any idea or person outside our cozy space is both immoral and unwise.
May we please debate economic and political substance instead of promising what we cannot deliver and burdening the next generation with our uncourageous procrastination?
We cannot pay for every liberal promise.
Conservatives must learn proximate justice for their causes.
ALL people of conscience care for the poor and vulnerable – they may disagree on methods, but not the aims of compassion or justice.
Jesus is not a conservative or a liberal, capitalist or communist – He is uncontainable in our little ideological boxes.
For the sake of the world and generations yet unborn, let’s face reality with hope and forge solutions that help everyone prosper.
