Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. Romans 13:8-14 NIV
What are those desires of the flesh that keep us from loving? Jealousy and hatred--once the seed is planted and nurtured by failure to accept responsibility for self--leads to actions ignited by our fleshly desires to avenge perceived (even if the perception is wrong) injustices.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is--there is liberty and love. Where there is no love, there is no perceptible presence of Christ. For when the heart of a person is filled with love, there is no room for hatred and bigotry and racism doesn't stand a chance. When we acknowledge that none of us are perfect and are all in need of a perfect Savior, we open the door and prepare the soil of our hearts to receive His love and allow it to be nurtured by continuing our lives, loving others. This is how we ought to treat one another. For if we know we love one another, we will not plot to do harm to one another. We will not set traps in hopes that others will fall into them for we realize the traps we set--we're liable to fall into ourselves--realizing the Hamanesque effect.
How can we claim to be Christians--followers of Christ--if we don't know Him for ourselves? To know Christ is to know His Word and to know how He lived among men and to do likewise. Jesus was not silent when He saw injustice, but rose up mightily to condemn it and so should we. He was the ultimate rebel in tearing down religion and religious leaders who only wanted to control others, not live for God. All that He did, He did with love at the forefront of His life so we might understand that we can do all things and should do all things in love for Love--for He is Love.
Again, I say, where there is love, there is no room for hate and where we find hate, we must drive it out with love, not more hatred. Those who think they are superior to others do not know Christ for we are told in His Word that we ought not to think more highly of ourselves than warranted. God is not mocked nor fooled by superficial acknowledgment of who He is. He looks upon the hearts of all and sees the discernible difference between the light of love and the darkness of hate. He knows! We cannot fool Him with mocking rhetoric that sounds like being a Christian.
Unfortunately, for those who think they are mocking God, He will have the last word when we stand before Him and He tells some, "Depart from me, I never knew you." Those are not the words I want to hear from God when I stand before Him, so I'll keep promoting truth, integrity, honor and love and where there is opportunity to rise up against hate and bigotry, I will rise to the occasion and never back down.
I'm Mary Hall-Rayford and I approve this message of love and hope you will, too!
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:16-21 NIV
For all who lied said God chose trump to lead this nation, the time of reckoning is upon us and God will show up and show out--exposing all those who lied to the nation. We don't have to concern ourselves with how God will avenge us--that is His decision, but many won't like what happens and they'll hang their head in shame.
Don't think for a moment that I'm just looking at the election results from yesterday, but I'm also reflecting upon the election results from 2016 that was rigged with Russian assistance and coordinated by members of the trump campaign. The evil that brought us into the election cycle with a liar, a thief and a traitor will turn upon itself and God will expose the liars, grifters, and evil they sought to do by immersing America into Russian authoritarianism. I'm also looking forward to see the results of 2020--in which all known players in the 2016 election rigging will be known and peace can once again reside in the hearts of every Everyday American. Love always triumphs over hate--though it may seem slow, in God's timing we will see the vindication of The Lord and how He avenges His name.
I look forward to running a presidential campaign that invites all to join and leaves none pushed aside. I also look forward to winning and establishing an administration that looks like America where everyone is represented with equal opportunity to determine the direction in which our country continues. I look forward to seeking those who have Talents, Integrity, Enthusiasm and Strategies to win and serve the people of this great country. And know this--I am not proclaiming I am God's choice, but that I am willing to be used by God to serve this nation in a way that will glorify Him and not me, promoting love and not hate, peace and not war, cooperation and not stagnation or obstruction to make sure ideas that benefit the masses are implemented!
The journey will not be an easy one, but I look forward with personal satisfaction in knowing that I was right all along and the insight given to me by God will be proven accurate. Whether those who mocked me or told me I was wrong is not an issue. They will have to live with their own consciences, not me.
When we live according to The Word, not people--justice--though delayed--will reign and God's vindication will be known throughout the world. I thank God that He has filled me to overflowing with love and gratitude because of His love for me. With His love overflowing from my heart--there is no room for hatred and bigotry and no decision I make will be driven by hate, but desire to serve the needs of the people who make this nation great.
We are on the road to vindication as a nation--those of us who know truth will live truth and exercise truth in all we do and be victorious as a Blue Tsunami floods the country in 2018 and in 2020. Our trials in dealing with a treasonous administration will end with triumph over the evil plotted against Americans in 2016. God will repay!
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD. In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous;your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.” Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless. Psalm 10:2-12 NIV
As a strong believer in the power of prayer, I also understand that praying without taking appropriate action won't accomplish much. Yes, we need to pray for people in times of crisis and tragedy, but we also need to take action--not just the Everyday Americans who're praying, but the legislators who have the authority to change the way we do business and to curtail the evil nurtured in those who do not know God.
There is a time for prayer--daily, as often as one needs to talk to God--but then if we want to see concrete results of prayer, we must DO SOMETHING in order to see our prayers answered. Faith--total confidence in God--requires action on the part of the people praying, not just giving lip service in a time of crisis. Yes, "our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of tragedy," may make us feel better that we said something, but does it make sense for us to keep saying the same thing, over and over again, when our lawmakers--hold within their hands the power to change the landscape of tragedy into one of hope and saved lives?
I'm praying that all of those legislators who have so happily received funding from NRA will now, reject further involvement by them and act on principle and morality instead of party partisanship. It is time to set aside greed and govern according to the needs of people across America who have suffered loss or injury from out of control people using guns. We NEED COMMON SENSE GUN LEGISLATION, NOW! The discussion needs to be held now, not later when the sensationalism has subsided, but now while wounds are still gaping and bleeding and graves waiting to embrace the innocent. Now, is the time, legislators must stop procrastinating and DO SOMETHING to save lives and end the carnage that erupts by those who are either mentally unstable or just plain evil.
And to be clear, evil doesn't just rise to the surface unexpectedly. It rises out of careful nurturing over time, being fed and watered out of hate of self and others and those who are partaking of the nurturing, should also be punished for the role they play in the senseless loss of life. Evil doesn't hide--it parades itself for all to see and someone watching the parade should speak up and try to direct the evil to turn aside into a place of peace and love so healing can begin.
As a nation, we cannot afford to sit idly by and say nothing--we must speak out and force our elected officials to do their job for the sake of all, not the gun lobbyists and manufacturers. Now is the time for action; getting beyond lip service to bring about legislative change to protect us all.
I pray we can affect this legislation immediately, but if we can't, I urge all to keep pushing for Common Sense Gun Legislation (CSGL) and in 2018 and 2020 vote for candidates who will get it done--forsaking the all mighty dollars of the NRA, in order to save lives.
The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:42-48 NIV
The following originally posted on Medium 11/3/2017
Open Letter To American Congress
Dear Congressional Members:
About the proposed tax cut that Republicans are so excited about — at least the ones who hate the poor — it is absolutely bull crap, designed to benefit the rich and corporations who are big donors to political parties — notice I said — parties — plural!
Let’s face it — the only people who are in position to cover government expenses through tax dollars are those who make the most money. It’s simple math — something anyone should be able to calculate. But since we apparently have some in Congress and the White House who aren’t that good at math (and I’m no expert), let me approach this from another direction.
The United States is already in debt to the tune of trillions of dollars — the result of negligence from the Bush redistribution of Social Security surplus and then starting a war in Iraq. But let’s not quibble over that point — if we start in the red — and keep spending tax dollars on unnecessary expenditures ( i.e., secret service detail for a family of infinite numbers including staffers and golf carts and housing in trump properties, plus the private jets used by cabinet members) all we’re doing is digging a deeper hole. On top of that, we now “reduce” the amount of tax dollars needed to pay “necessary expenditures” (military, federal government operation, etc.) and we expect what to happen — economic growth and a reduction in the deficit? I think not.
It has become obvious to me, and I’m certain millions of others, that those who claim to be Christians have either not read or understood the bible they supposedly know. “For to whom much is given, much is required” (Luke 12:48). Those who have the most consumable income should pay the larger share of the tax revenue for more than one reason, but here’s mine. It is the very wealthy who use their dollars to influence government — through lobbyists and party donations. The poor and middle class, do not have the opportunity to influence election outcomes other than through their vote.
Since the deck is stacked against us economically — those who have the advantage should pay the most. With the current proposal, the tax cuts for the rich will only give them more to use to influence elections and the poor and middle class lose ground since only those in political positions will determine whether we even get to vote (as evidenced with current attempts to suppress the vote through “unnecessary requirements” and gerrymandering). The alleged “Voter Fraud Commission” is actually doing more to commit voter fraud that in finding evidence of fraud already committed.
I’m sure that all of you know this, but I felt the need to reiterate it since it doesn’t appear that in your elected positions, you are actually representing the people who elected you — us — the Americans.
So here’s a suggestion — start caring more about the people who put you in office — not the wealthy donors who obviously care nothing about anyone other than themselves, but the average, Everyday American — who expects you to do the right thing for everyone. How about that! Is it possible that you can do the right thing for all Americans and not just the wealthy donors?
I can imagine if there are people who feel the same way I do, then many of you won’t have a chance to be elected again. We’re real people with real needs and getting an additional $98.00 a month — won’t make much of a difference to enhance our standard of living. You know why? Those big corporations that get the breaks will increase cost of all they produce and the cost of services which will suck the life out of the $98.00 and may cost us more.
I wish for a month, those who think this tax cut will benefit the poor and help the middle class, would try to live off the income they think others can do with ease. And please, don’t try telling us without the corporations no one would benefit — there would be no corporations if the lowly didn’t work for the them — without getting equitable wages — leaving the corporations to profit and give big bonuses for those who do nothing but sit at desks and think about how they can make their employees more miserable, while lining their own bank accounts. I know, I know — too simplistic for those who think they have “great brains,” but true.
Try this on for size and see if it won’t work for the benefit of everyone:
With this plan those at the lowest end of the income scale will have money to consume the products and services available without being burdened with unfair tax liability. After all, if corporations are producing goods and services and no one can purchase them, how long before the corporations fold?
This plan — considers all Americans and puts the burden where it needs to be. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than what we’re seeing with the GOP tax cuts which do nothing for the poor, elderly, and vulnerable. It’s worth consideration and I’m sure — the average Everyday American will see some merit in establishing.
Think about this proposal — where everyone benefits — and about the simplicity of its use. Then, think about this — anyone who manufactures products outside of the United States, hides money in off-shore accounts, or won’t produce their tax returns as an elected official — should not have any input into what others pay who are “loyal” to the American way of life. If you can’t see this — you’re guilty of taxing people without representation because the current plan — is not beneficial to those who elected you (excluding the Russians and other foreign operatives).
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but
with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the
truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts
condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows
everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have
confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we
keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to
believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as
he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he
in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the
Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:18-24 NIV
When we say we love–the words must be demonstrated in our actions for
all to see. After all, the best sermon is not the one we preach, but
the one we live. How can we convince others we love if we are not willing to walk in truth?
So, who’s not willing to walk in truth? It would appear from the
daily news briefings conducted by Sarah Huckabee Sanders that truth is a
foreign concept to her and others in the White House. Despite the fact
that the entire family (Huckabees that is) claims to be Christians, they
not only spout lies, but promote them–as though the rest of us cannot
see through them. Not only have they demonstrated their Christianity is
not a true walk with Christ, but they support every lie the
liar-in-chief tells.
What’s even more phenomenal to me is the fact that
they lie about what he says, when all who are listening hears what he
says. Specifically–the most recent lie–“he didn’t say the justice system
was a joke and a laughingstock.” We all heard it and there’s no spin
that will make us “unhear” those very words.
For those of you who are tired of my tirades about the WH idiots,
please know–I’m just as tired of them as you are, but I refuse to stop
bringing truth to the forefront because I’d rather people disdain me for
telling the truth, rather than love me for promoting lies. That’s my
stand. I will not back down from always speaking truth as it aligns with
The Word or as it aligns with daily events and those in leadership
positions.
True Christians–those who walk with Christ on a daily basis and
understand the greatest commandment is love–know God hates liars and
because He hates liars–would not have chosen a pathological liar (or
liars) to be in a position of leadership for the already greatest nation
on the planet. What the faux-Christians have done–promoting the lie
that God chose trump to be president–is to put America in a position of
being a joke and laughingstock to other countries. Other world leaders
are watching what unfolds in this country on a daily basis. They see the
confusion and chaos that resides in the WH and the total incompetence
demonstrated by the Russian installed–fake president. They see how he
flip-flops on issues and lies unabashedly and dares others to challenge
his lies. They see a dark pattern leading to a path of destruction for
America and wonder–out loud–how that will affect them since they are
supposed to be our allies. How can anyone trust a person to commit to an
agreement (NATO) who has disregarded so many other agreements with
vendors and others on a whim. The faux-Christians elected a dictator
wannabe and the sooner they admit that and withdraw their support, the
sooner America can get back on track, sustaining it’s position on the
global stage.
The bottom line here is this–we all know (not think) Russia
interfered with the 2016 election and yes, their interference with lies
and false propaganda, influenced weak-minded voters who refused to do
their own research, into believing the lies and false propaganda. We
also know–those of us who are capable of drawing conclusions by
analyzing the situation critically, that Electors in the Electoral
College were bribed into voting for the national clown. Many of them
knew what was occurring and still refused to stand in truth and act
accordingly. Only a few electors followed their conscience and refused
to vote for a liar.
If people choose to believe a liar when he has shown them that he is a
liar and is willing to keep lying, they get what they deserve; but what
about the rest of us? Why should we be punished and suffer the
ill-fated consequences that fall upon all who lie?
We can change things and turn the situation around by loving truth
more than the lies and liars and by Voting Blue in all up-coming
elections. Democrats are not perfect people because there are no perfect
people, but they also do more to demonstrate living as Christians ought
to live than the current residents in the White House.
I’m sure by now, most know where I stand–I stand on the side of
right, truth, and love. I hope you’ll stand with me in 2020 as I make my
way towards a run for the White House.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of
yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with
sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each
of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:2-5 NIV

When
I first heard this term, I admit it didn’t make sense for it to have a
negative connotation considering who has access to White Privilege. I
still don’t understand the angst that White people have against those
who either seldom or never had — access to what they’ve always had. If
anyone should be angry, it’s people of color who have been denied,
denied, denied — access to equal education, housing, and use of
necessary facilities, hotels and restaurants. Before anyone gets fired
up by what I just said — keep reading. If you’ve ever experienced what
is said, please feel free to comment. If you haven’t — try walking in
our shoes before complaining about what you don’t have, when you’ve had
it all along.
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were held in
bondage — shackled and forbidden to travel from place to place without a
note from their “master?”
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were forced to work in
unbearable heat, whipped, beaten and killed if they looked a white
man/woman in the eyes?
Does anyone remember when white people in America had their babies yanked from their arms and sold into slavery?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America where denied the
opportunity to learn to read and if they did, were beaten for the
attempt?
Does anyone remember when white people in America were kept segregated in cities and denied home-ownership or land ownership?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were kept from receiving a
quality education in public schools — having to use — discarded used
textbooks?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America when traveling, had to
take their own food and drinks with them and use “nature” for a bathroom
because they weren’t allowed to use the facilities?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America could entertain in local
establishments but couldn’t sleep in the hotel where they were
entertaining?
Does anyone remember when white people in America could only be buried in certain cemeteries because of the color of their skin?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were dragged out of their
houses and lynched or tarred and feathered because of lies told by
others?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were spit on, set on fire,
or had to stand in line in a store and just wait — until someone
decided to serve them?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America had a local store where
they could only buy rotten, spoiled meat and didn’t dare complain about
it?
Does anyone remember when white people in America were only expected to clean for others and barely earn a living wage?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America were denied a college
education when it was affordable and they proved themselves worth it?
Does anyone remember when white people in America had to fight for the right to be considered human beings and treated as such?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America couldn’t walk on the
sidewalks if a person of color was walking down the same sidewalk?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America couldn’t look at a person
of color without being beaten and arrested for doing so?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America had to sit in the back of
the bus, couldn’t eat in the dining car of a train, and didn’t dare sit
if a person of color was standing?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America had to train their sons to
not look at a police officer if stopped while driving white?
Does anyone remember when white people in America had to warn their daughters about the hazards of life while living white?
Does
anyone remember when white people in America had their sons shot down
like dogs and accused of doing all manner of illegal
activity — especially if they were wearing a hoodie?
This
list could go on and on, but the point is clear — White People in
America — no matter what their background — have always had access to
all things Black people did not from the beginning. And now, since Black
people have proven themselves worthy and capable and doing all things
they were denied or kept from doing, while Black; the White folks who
didn’t take advantage of everything they had access to are crying foul
and seem think that Black folks are infringing upon their White
Privilege.
All
the haters in the “White Lives Matter” movement which are really
racists bigots — need to get over themselves. If you are not where you
wanted to be in life — it’s because you didn’t want to do what was
needed to get there. Stop blaming Black People for your insecurities,
lack of education, or poverty. You are your own worst enemies. You had
more opportunity than most will ever have, but you chose to squander the
opportunity just to have a chance to complain and blame.
Don’t
get me wrong — I have nothing against White People any more than I do
against Black People — I can’t stand stupid no matter what color it
comes in. What I hate is people blaming others for their inability to
see what is right in front of them. Life may not be fair (and hasn’t
been for most Black families), but it is what we make it.
So
stop blaming the Black folks, White Lives Matter and realize you
haven’t gotten anywhere because you didn’t want to go anywhere. You had
open doors of access while most Black folks had to build the wall in
which to place the door and prove they were worthy to walk through it.
If
you’d rather march and complain and blame — that’s your business. What
you should have been doing from the time you could was to go to school
and learn something other than hate. It’s not our fault your ignorance
rises above your heads every time you open your mouths. The fault is not
ours that we know how to protest racial injustice and we can document
it all, yet move on and become “the people you want to become” but are
afraid of making the effort. It’s so much easier to hate and blame than
try and achieve — we get it. Now you get this — you can scream blood and
soil until your vocal cords dry up; you can think deportation until the
mountains fall into the seas, but you’ll never be able to understand
what it means to say, “I’m Black and I’m Proud” and we’re not going
anywhere.
After
all, if anyone should leave the shores of America, it should be those
who came here from Europe, killed off the Native Inhabitants who helped
them to survive here, and then were too lazy to cultivate the land and
too cheap to pay for the labor, so they went to Africa (we didn’t come
on our own) and bought slaves, forced them to work the land and bear the
babies of the slave masters who wanted to increase their slaves without
paying for more, and now have the nerve to be angry with us!
The
haters claim they want a pure white race? Their ancestors should have
thought about that before raping their black slaves. The “impurity” is
all on them! I’d suggest that everyone involved in “White Lives Matter”
have their DNA checked. They just might be surprised by the DNA they
carry within and having carried all this hate against themselves.
As
long as there are people who think they are superior to others,
everyone in America will have problems getting along with one another,
but that can change and it should change now. None of us is
superior — we all bleed red when sliced open and we all belong to the
same race — the human race! Now, how about that — for privilege!
Has anyone
noticed that Americans have all become Republicans? You missed that
phenomena, too, huh? Pay attention to the rhetoric that comes from the
GOP, the White House Administration and of course, trump. They really
believe they have a mandate from America because of the election rigging
and illegitimate win — across the board for Republicans.
Almost
every sentence starts with — “Americans have given us a mandate” or a
version thereof. “He’s being given a mandate,” Kellyanne Conway told
CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.” “And that mandate is going to be
somewhat different than what we’ve had, it’s a repudiation of some of
the things we’ve had.” [Hate reigns in the hearts of trump and his
enablers]
KATIE
PAVLICH: The Republicans now have a mandate. We have a Republican in
the White House. We have a Republican-controlled Senate and
Republican-controlled House. We have had divided government for a long
time and as Paul Ryan said today they have a lot of good ideas on the
table that they’ve been trying to get through that were obstructed by
Harry Reid for years that they now are going to be able to push through
as a result of this election. [Fox News, Special Report, 11/9/16] [Isn’t our democracy supposed to represent all the people and the “divided government” acting
as a check and balance so all benefit? When one group makes all the
decisions without any consideration for others — it becomes a
dictatorship, not a democracy.]
Now,
it would appear that because of the election rigging and the electoral
college bribery, that Republicans are determined to only
govern — Republicans. None of their policies or agendas have taken into
consideration the rest of America — just what 62M angry, misled, and
hate-filled people decided (many of whom now regret their decision). A
mandate — normally entails what the majority have determined — but the
2016 election was anything but normal and it would appear that we are
far from becoming normal again, any time soon.
But let’s look at the actual facts (numbers don’t lie unless manipulated by those who skipped their math classes).
Now,
let’s not forget that Hillary won the popular vote by 3M votes — and
because trump hates to lose — he’s sold a bill of goods to the gullible
by promoting the notion that the 3M votes were cast by illegal
immigrants — a fact that has been debunked, repeatedly but the gullible
will believe a lie much quicker than the truth when it suits them. And
the gullible — those who will swallow anything because they don’t like
to research information and have limited critical thinking skills — keep
promoting all the lies and false propaganda engineered by the Russian
regime with an assist from the GOP. Their win — is not a legitimate win
and will be proven so in the very near future, but that won’t stop them
from destroying America — under the pretense of doing what’s best for
Republicans.
Let
me see, now. Do Republicans not want to save the planet for their
descendants? Do Republicans care about not having clean water to drink
or are they okay with the toxic run-off from coal mines and industrial
complexes poisoning the water? Do they care about the rollback of
consumer protections and rampant repeal of regulations that keep not
just Republican children safe, but all children who eat produce covered
and embedded with chemicals that will eventually, lead to their deaths?
Do Republicans not understand the ramifications and eventual
consequences of a nuclear war? Do they not know that radioactive fall-out won’t ask for a voter’s registration to
determine who it will kill or where victims will be located? Are all
Republicans part of the 1% that tax cuts will benefit or is it just the
200 families that will hold all the wealth and the rest of us — well,
we’ll eventually die out and who will be left to work for the 200
families? Will they plant gardens, work in factories, man phone-lines,
create all they need to subsist or are they setting themselves up to die
as well?
No
matter how much money or wealth a person may have, if the land (and
water) is toxic and nothing grows — all will perish. I wonder — have
they given this a lot of thought or are their actions — merely reactions
to their hatred of Obama? Considering the fact that Republicans were
supposed to be the party of “family values/morals” it is difficult to
believe any of them are Christians since they have no love for anyone
other than themselves. Apparently, they do not understand that Christ
promoted love for all, not just the Republicans. I don’t think they’ve
given this the time needed to come to a logical conclusion. Whatever
happens to the Democrats they hate so much, will also impact the
Republicans since we all live on the same planet in the same country.
Getting back to this so-called mandate — if we consider a mandate being what the majority want — the
mandate would be for Hillary to be in the Oval Office, making decisions
for the benefit of all Americans — not just the Democrat party. Therein
lies the real difference — Democrats govern for all the people, Republicans — just them and those who praise them and support them. Some
how, that doesn’t sound like a true democracy; it sounds more like an
authoritarian take-over in which only one group — the Republicans in
this situation — govern for just their group and the rest of us — “be
damned.”
The
prevailing attitude of the GOP leadership and trump makes it even more
important that Americans Vote Blue in the coming elections so All
Americans will have a chance to survive. Democrats — in recent
history — have been the only party that considers what is best for all
Americans and not just other Democrats or those who support them.
Therefore, we must use our collective voting rights to turn this
situation around so all can sleep at night — knowing there will be a new morning in which we can all enjoy living in America.
We
need to put in a place — an elected person who will govern for
all — reaching across the aisle of Congress to make the best decisions
for all and who is not afraid of a challenge, and has a heart filled
with love, not hate. We can make it happen, by remembering that we are
all in this thing called life — together. The decisions made that affect
one group, will affect all Americans. Let’s do this — We can raise the
standards for all Americans and do it with love, not hate guiding all we
do.
