Having a conservative/libertarian leaning myself, I don't even like to hear conservatives going on about all the things. For instance, I have a good friend who is all wrapped-up in the state GOP machinery, but I groan within when he begins telling all the "insider" information regarding why things are the way they are.

Why is there a groaning in me over this? Because both sides are blinded, and when you are blinded, you can't even see you are blinded. And what you are prone to do then is blame all the issues on the other side. But if you are blinded you can't see that (because of blindness). So the polarization continues, and without divine intervention it will likely increase exponentially in the days ahead. Once again, the only solution is Christ and His love in us for one another.

For freedom He set us free brothers - and that includes being free from the worldly hatred of the other side, or at the least, from looking down on the other side. (I know, I know - we would never say we "hate" another brother, but . . .)

Well amen ... finally, the voice of reason.
