28. We better than you think because we don't act like them.

Jul 2018

Trump attacked a Gold Star family and we condemned his lack of compassion.

Trump attacked the grieving widow of a fallen soldier and we decried his inhumanity.

We are not like Trump, we don't kick people when they're down.

We can pick our battles without letting blind rage make us forget about what we stand for and why we value humanity and compassion. There is a time and place to fight over politics, but beating down on a family member who is dealing with one of the worst lifetime crisis events imaginable, is not a defensible decision.
