A few years ago I moved back to Illinois to do work in victim and child advocacy. I work in mostly small farming communities. My clients come from low income homes. Bless all the volunteers that give their time and resources to help children, the disabled, and the elderly. I am also grateful for all the government funded programs that help my clients. I have seen programs reduced or terminated due to funding. I can't see how any human being wouldn't feel compelled to help others in need, especially children that need help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652139332691639100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-76289273336508686352017-03-18T18:55:34.387-07:002017-03-18T18:55:34.387-07:00This fellow has put human rights back 150 years......This fellow has put human rights back 150 years....

I am glad she did so. I don't agree with her thinking, but I am glad to hear what she is thinking. We don't have to agree to listen to each other. I just hope she listens to those of us who know how important it is to take care of others. I'm assuming Lynney 62 has never been poor, never been in need, and lives a really good life surrounded by those like her. <br /><br />When you know immigrants, legal and illegal, when you know poor people, when you see small children suffering, you have a a different view. Like many of us who are doing what we can in our communities to alleviate pain and suffering, I hope Linney 62 will do likewise. So many people need help. We should all be willing to help others.

I want to understand how some dear people that are really good and well meaning, can support a bullshitter like Donald Trump. It is beyond me and I really do want to understand. But then I am old enough for Hitler to be still fresh enough in my mind and I would say "America take warning!" The parallels are amazing! This is the first time since WWII that I have been this scared. "There are none so blind as those that will not see!" And the problem is...even a deeply good person like Joyce doesn't get through to them. Years and years of trying to give back and share her good fortune and she is STILL not even close to being understood. Heartbreaking!!! AND frightening!!

How you choose to see things is with those rose-tinted glasses that so many of you conservatives again choose to wear.<br /><br />If you do not see the damage that your present president is doing to your country then you are in for a huge surprise in the very near future.<br />I feel sorry for you.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-18152793989464079182017-03-18T04:24:17.903-07:002017-03-18T04:24:17.903-07:00I agree with Guillaume.

I was sad to see your post today. You see, I live in Illinois, a "Flyover" State I'm sure you've probably never visited. I am one of "those horrid, ignorant, stupid, uneducated, racist, anti-semitic, LGBT hating people who "clings to their guns and religion"" who voted for President Trump. But you see, you don't know me at all! Because you never tried to know me. One of my very best friends is gay and lives happily in a gay relationship...One of my closest relatives is happily in an inter-racial marriage with a precious multiracial child... But you don't wish to know me, a person who wants America to be safe, secure, strong, and full of opportunity for all who come here "legally" and live according to the Laws of our Constitution and country. Also, you don't seem to see the HUGE debt that our last 6 Presidents and paid politicians have placed on you, myself and our children....You don't seem to see how each State would be more able to manage programs such as yours through cutting other programs of free education, food stamps, etc to "Illegals" that drain our State and Federal Budgets Why is it okay for some who come here to do so "illegally" when so many have come here "legally" and made our country great..What does this say to those folks who worked hard to come following our laws? And how can we call ourselves free without having those laws? ....I admire all of your work and time given to these inner city children...But I ask you...Would you give some time to work in those areas to teach women how to be good mothers, teach men how to be responsible fathers..work in your local government to bring prosperous economy, new businesses, jobs, to those people....Then programs like yours would not be so needed. Families could be reestablished to work together to grow for a better life. I'm doubtful you will really understand what I'm trying to say......I understand how different many of us are......You live through "feelings"....I live through "reality" and looking at the very long term for my child..I want America to stay a free country with Laws that keep us free.....Don't worry...I won't bother you again...And I won't be reading your blog daily anymore...I just have a hard time with the way you spoke about our President...If I had spoken that way about President Obama, I would have been called a "hate monger and a racist"...But life, sadly, is full of double standards.............................lynney62https://www.blogger.com/profile/13495408937759095258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-21115314432576953632017-03-17T21:23:12.949-07:002017-03-17T21:23:12.949-07:00First let me say I am a Canadian so what he does d...First let me say I am a Canadian so what he does doesn't affect me as much as it does you. But looking South, it is very hard to believe what is happening! Such a GIANT step backwards for our dear neighbors..it will take years after he's gone to right his wrongs. I am so thankful for our free medical that we have had since 1949, our relatively sane government and our outstretched arms to the refugees of the world.
