Summoning My Courage
Well, I went and did it today. I’ve finally summoned the courage, yet I’m ashamed I have to consider this an act of “courage.” It really is a sad commentary of where our country is right now, and it is fundamentally so contrary to our founding documents. I’m not the only one who’s been hesitant to do this, either. Everyone I work with, as well as friends and family, have all felt this way or still do. I finally put my my fear aside and did it. I’m the first in my group of family and friends. I’m hoping that what I did will encourage others to do so, as well. The fact that so many of us feel this way is just so wrong; so fundamentally wrong. So what is it that I did that was so “courageous?”
I put an anti-Obama bumper sticker on my car.
For so long and for very sad reasons, I’ve been reluctant to do so for fear of either getting my car keyed or damaged, or worse yet, being called a “racist.”
