Since I write about history because I believe it has many things to teach us, and since Isaac B Werner was active in the populist movement and lived in Kansas which was at the heart of the populist movement of the late 1800s, some of my posts will naturally be of a political nature. I try to share the history without becoming an advocate for or against current events relevant to that historical theme. This post was popular with people I am sure do not share common political views, yet, it was popular. Perhaps we can communicate by speaking about historical ideas when we seem unable to communicate about current events.Lynda Beck Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363248580928472769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231257453868183589.post-33582628344557169572017-01-25T21:18:55.531-06:002017-01-25T21:18:55.531-06:00On Jan. 19 at 11:15 CW wrote the following: "...On Jan. 19 at 11:15 CW wrote the following: "Powerful words--something I wish everyone would read and follow our past presidents' kind words.

I enjoyed reading the excerpts from former speeches, but they made me sad, too. My how things have changed. I don't understand why President Trump couldn't extend an olive branch in the spirit of moving forward and healing.
