Critics are putting country in crisis

Reading the headlines is scary. What kind of world do you want your child to be living in? One where after a lost ballgame, he/she blames the umpire or teammates for the loss? After a failed test, blame goes to the teacher? How much better for your athlete/student to be encouraged to practice harder, to be more successful next time and accept consequences, like Albert Einstein, Jackie Robinson and Michael Jordan.

What world are we witnessing now? Instead of a party of patriots reorganizing and putting their best foot forward, the Republicans are backing a candidate who blames everyone, the judiciary system and President Biden for mistakes made. The cowardly lemmings from his party are putting our country into chaos. Can’t anyone face reality without blame? The challenge to democracy is scary, not only to adults, but children as well. We will all suffer the consequences.
