The Mean Spirit of Opposition

The greatness of our nation lies in the ability for each of us to speak our minds, express our thoughts and opinions and disagree with each other.  I must tell you that since I cast my vote for the winning candidate, the responses during the election and after, have been filled with anger and a mean spiritedness that is troubling.

Now, I have a thick skin and frankly do not care that most of the readers of this blog have a position in opposition to mine, but come on folks, you can express yourselves with your own set of opinions which you are entitled to, but not as Pat Moynahan once said, with your own set of facts. Anger is fine, but don't take it out on me.

Your guy lost for reasons that are more tied to your party and to the selection process of the nominee. Mocking me, criticizing my teaching abilities and expressing your anger in this way might be more appropriate with a radio celebrity than a simple, dedicated citizen with an opinion different that most of the readers of my post.  Thanks for your spirit and energy and I hope you wish our President well and pray for his success just like Mitt Romney did.
