I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name forever and ever. Everyday I will praise you and extol your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty--and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works--and I will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. Psalm 145:1-7 NIVWhat we need in the world now, more than ever is stability--stable-minded leaders--in order to effect peace and security. Without stability--especially in operating in the minds of world leaders--the entire world is at a place where few feel secure.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:5-8 NIV
The founding fathers of our nation in America--sought to create an environment of stability when they composed the Constitution. Now, the right-wing tea-partiers want to destabilize our democracy by ignoring the Constitutional framework of how government works. When we allow any one person to violate the Constitution, we put at risk the entire Constitution being violated by those who think they are above the law.
We see this continuing line of thought on a regular basis in the WH--where all we have are enablers of an unfit, unstable, double-minded illegitimate person who was installed by Russia. The GOP--supposedly the party of family values and morals have been derelict in their responsibility by first allowing the nomination and they continue to abrogate responsibility by not "keeping him in check" which is their job--the purpose for which they were elected.
Until we all get involved--Republicans, Independents and Democrats to stop ignoring the fact--we have a mental midget in charge, we're never going to see or have stability in this country again.
The white supremacist was elected by other white supremacists and then he appointed another racist bigot as Attorney General and we can see it in all he does in the position, then he appointed a bigot as Education Secretary and thieves and liars in other positions--which should not be a surprise since he is a thief and liar--totally corrupt and morally bankrupt.
What do the rest of us need to do? We need to encourage those pseudo-Christians who are worshiping trump to read their bible with understanding--worshiping him is idolatry; and we need to remind them--daily--God did not choose trump to be president, they did--along with the rest of the racists and haters in this country.
There will be no peace without the acceptance that America was not founded on the bible; was not built on white European values, but on the backs of slave labor and ignorance of the context of the bible. White Europeans came to this land already inhabited by the Indigenous Natives and stole the land from them. They additionally complicated matters by importing Africans as slaves--free labor to build the infrastructure and stabilize their economic power--corruption at its best.
If America is not willing to accept the facts and reality of its existence, we will continue to have turmoil and chaos because of those who think they are superior to others. As long as we have leadership constantly flip-flopping on policy (if there is policy) we will be the laughingstock of the world. Without stable-minded leadership, there will be no stability in the country. It is time for us to wake up and see the danger we're all in from NK, Russia, and China because we allowed an idiot to reside in the White House.
We can change things and begin the journey to stabilize by changing who we elect. In 2018, we need to flip the House (from Red to Blue) and in 2020, those Senators who are too old to see reality as it exists, not as they want it, need to retire.
We are a nation of diverse cultures and we need to protect that right by remembering--every person of European ancestry was an immigrant and had the Natives not been as helpful as they were, they would surely not be a majority voice in this country. We need stability and the only way that will happen is when the rights of all Americans are acknowledged and protected. If we continue to treat those who come into this land as though they were less worthy of equal treatment, we may incur the wrath of God for not obeying His Word about how we should treat, "foreigners" as outlined in Deuteronomy.
I'm Mary Hall-Rayford and I am not ashamed to admit--this country is headed in the wrong direction and if we don't change course soon, we will cease to exist as the founding fathers envisioned.
