I don’t like labels but if I must wear them I am a social progressive and a fiscal lconservative. In my circle of family,friends and business associates there is a rainbow of political identities. In spite of this I have dined with, laughed with ,cried with and experienced every other human emotion within this circle. I have not severed any relationship because of ideology, and have tried to remain civil and respectful to the views that are different from mine.In America today the political tearing of the fabric has reached such intense polarization that innocent hard working people are suffering beyond measure the insanity of a closed government. If we can live in our personal lives with these differences then those that represent us must also abandon the mentality of distance and obstinate positioning. There are reasonable accommodations to this fiasco and the pain of innocent civil servants and all that feel the pain must end NOW
