Bridge Maker Post at the Virginian Federalist
From time-to-time I identify a post that meets certain criteria (see here).
- The poster comes to the aid of a fellow citizen of a different political persuasion.
- The poster does not compromise his/her beliefs.
While this criteria might seem easy to satisfy, in practice I do not see it happening often.

The democratic republic we call the United States is based upon certain principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and in the traditions of our Christian heritage. Our democracy works well only to the degree we are willing to put the welfare of our neighbors on the same level as our own. Our nation succeeds because we are willing at least in some degree to love our neighbor as much we love ourselves.
