The Civil War ENDED 150 years, two months, and a couple of
weeks ago! Why are DUers still fighting it? No one living today was alive during that war. There is no way we can change what happened in the past. We can only try to make things better now and in the future.
And we are not going to do that by continuing the sectionalism that helped tear this country apart 154 years ago. It certainly is not going to foster the good will that is needed for all of us to work together to overcome the hurdles that still stand in the way of a equal and just society.

Widow Receives Nasty Note Over Her “Relentlessly Gay” Rainbow Yard Lights
When Julie Baker, a widow and mother of four, recently stepped out onto her front porch, she found an anonymous note taped to her door.
“Your yard is becoming Relentlessly Gay!” the note read. “Myself and others in the neighborhood ask that you Tone It Down. This is a Christian area and there are Children. Keep it up and I will be Forced to call the Police on you! Your kind need to have Respect for GOD.”
It was signed, “A Concerned Home Owner.”
The note referred to a set of rainbow-colored solar yard lamps Baker had set up in her garden. For the record, they aren’t illegal, so we’re not sure what this concerned home owner expects police to do about it.
Rather than get angry, Baker took a page from Memories Pizza’s playbook and launched a GoFundMe page to fight back.
“I need more rainbows,” she writes. “Many, many more rainbows.
