Are We in Nazi Germany?

In follow up to my last post, I am heartbroken to report this story.

Again, I ask, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES? AND EACH OTHER?

Please pray.

Please work for unity within your own town.

Please educate yourself and those you love to overcome prejudice and hatred.

Please keep Dayton in your thoughts as we struggle to form a loving, healing, unifying response to this atrocity.

Indeed, we have met the enemy.....and it is us.

(Ed. Note Sept. 30th In today's update, there is apparently no evidence that this was a hate crime. Thank goodness! However, it does bring to light the need for more unity, tolerance, patience, and understanding during these trying times. (And a hesitancy to repeat what we hear or read - or even believe it(!) - until all the facts are known.) )

FDR said it correctly, "This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
