On October 15th some, as yet unknown, person or persons apparently firebombed the GOP headquarters in Orange County, North Carolina. A report offered by USA Today states that David Weinberger (indicated a Democrat in the article) started a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help repair the damage. His goal of $10,000.00 was exceeded. $13,117.00 was raised and the page has been closed; rerouting future contributions to North Carolina schools through Donors Choose. I’d like to think Republicans would have done the same had the situation been reversed.

Messages from some Democrat donors expressed the senselessness of violence, especially during political contests. I guess individuals won’t wait for their parties to make practical common sense part of a party platform.

It is odd to see a rose floating in a bipartisan cesspool.
