A Sea of Same

Watching the President's State of the Union, I was again struck by the contrasts between the GOP and the DNC, and the GOP was just a sea of same - sameness, same people (white men), same suits (generally grey pinstripes), and same mentality rooted in the same beliefs that no longer hold true for America. The GOP does not represent the diversity of the America, the women, the children, the people of all economic levels, and most importantly religions, race, ethnicity, sexual preference etc.

To look at the sea of same - as they judged this black man who now is president, their resentment was clear. The sea of same who refused to clap, who refused to honor the office of the Presidency because this man occupies it.

In contrast, to look at the Democrats, suits of different colors, hair of all colors, suits of different colors, people of color, women, gays, jews, muslims, and so on. That is what we are in America, that is its beauty and its strength. Not sameness. Individuality and creativity. The more the GOP tries to scare us and make us all the same the more it works against them and America's best interests.

We can't be the sea of same.
