July 4th - Independence Day? What's Happening?!!! Across the Nation We Are Losing Our Freedoms!

 

President Joe Biden

I am constantly amazed at how much, seemingly, Americans are such fickle people. We all went out to vote Joe Biden into office, yet we always want what is especially a problem for us, rather than what is good for the nation. So some blame the president! Duh!

The fact is this man is...just a man...and he's doing more for our country in the few months he has been in office, than all that was done in the years under a man who actually harmed America...

What he cannot do is greatly ignored...yet is so important to how we move forward in a divided nation, like never before. If you see what has happened across the world, you will see the impact of a US president who has done much to bring the country back into a leading country who has done much to override what had been done by the last administration... We are back in NATO, working with the Ukraine as another authoritarian ego-driven madman kills for no reason other than to gain more power... 

The Infrastructure plan has gone into effect and is moving ahead as quickly as possible. Covid, if not gone, has reached a point where there is a plan of action for just about any event. Given that the last administration had done nothing to actually relocate the medicine from the manufactured status across the nation, it moved forward quickly under our president. During that time the government provided actual income to Americans across the nation to ensure they could keep a roof over their heads and food on the table... I could go on with the gifts,  accomplishments...but you all know all that has happened, or you should, if you are being an active citizen in these days of continuing chaos!

Key to all is just one thing... Instead of working together to meet the needs of America, the Republican Party has done little except to move against us! The Build Back Better program that was planned was stopped... We wanted that program! We voted to have that program! Yet, the damage had already been done... There was no way that republicans were going to work for the good of America--Vested interests has become the norm for many supposed representatives in Congress...and, yes, even in the Supreme Court!  

Except for a few republicans who have risen above the gutter world of the criminal, fascist, and authoritarian Donald Trump. During the January 6th Hearings, one important fact came out recently... Trump not only knew about the plan before the 6th...but he made sure that the crowd got in with all the weapons they were carrying!  He commented that they weren't bringing them against him! Later he even commented that perhaps the crowd was right, that Pence should be hung as they cried out, looking for the vice-president that day...

At the same time, due primarily upon the actions of those of the republican party who have become extreme in ALL Things, no matter who is hurt or compromised by those actions... We all know that evangelical christians made a deal with Trump to get what they wanted...a supreme court that was especially picked to ensure a biased rather than a legal, blind review of issues affecting all Americans. I as a Christian, find it hard to understand how we have reached a point in America - the supposed land of the free - freedom of religion, among them and including freedom of speech and to have total access to unalienable rights, to find that there are those who are fighting to take them away!

In the Declaration of Independence, America's founders defined unalienable rights as including “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These rights are considered “inherent in all persons and roughly what we mean today when we say human rights...”

And in Turn, we opened America to all those seeking those rights!

Many came to America seeking not only shelter, but, most importantly, the freedom to worship as they were led... Now, for whatever reason, some fanatical republicans think that our country should be a Christian nation, by rights... rights that were not given to us in our Constitution, but rights that some seem to think they know what God wants for this country... It's funny, God had plenty of time, don't you think, to make this a Christian country if He thought it should be. Instead, He told us to love our neighbors, treat them as we would want to be treated...and, then, speak to them of my son Jesus as you are called to do... Not once that I can remember, has Jesus condoned violence, yet that is what Trump called for on day of Insurrection when he wanted anybody who would fight...to overthrow our government in order for him to remain with the power of the leader of our country... a man who did nothing except take, take, take...as it is now being discovered...even more than we ever imagined!

I know many of us are looking to figure out how to pay our bills, to feed our children...to pay for the gas that we need to travel to work... President Biden has told us over and over, he is doing as much as he can within the limits placed in His Office! I believe him. Because I've seen somebody like Manchin speak to gain power, even though many in his state do not agree with what he is doing... This is true for most of the republican leaders who refuse to change their minds on anything, including to ban the guns that are being used to murder our children and families! 

How can we do anything to take America back from these men who do anything they need to do to capture more and more power for no other reason than to build their own egos...and forget about all that suffer from their actions. Just one thing was taken away recently...Roe Vs. Wade, a ruling made about 50 years ago and by which we have been living for years... But it is not just that one act, it is all those actions that are already happening...banning books, don't say gay... They are playing with the lives of millions of people who have fought to gain the rights that most of us have had for our entire lives... Do you really think God wants all these things done through violence? And if you believe God created each of us...how can you then claim that all gays should...just...not...be...? There is something really wrong with America these days! We all see it...And, if there is only one way to get rid of the violence, the hate, the prejudice that is dividing our nation, then we must act now...we must vote all those people who stop or refuse to pass meaningful legislation to support the needs of America...

I believe you voted for the right president...Now, I ask that you don't dismiss him just because the republican party are fighting "dirty" in allllllll ways to get him out of office... You know what he tried to do...The Build Back Better covered education, child-care and more! He and others are daily working to figure out how to "complete" something within the laws of the land...to help us!

It is stopped purely by those who care nothing about YOU or ME...They care about their own egos, their own power...their own greed! Don't let these people corrupt you with suggestions that President Biden is at fault for anything...He is NOT...Stop and think...Who voted to give corporations such as gas companies that care more about profits than that you need gas to get to work and/or gas to carry products to stores,  and rich people more income under Trump? Republicans! Who voted against banning guns--republicans! Who voted against women's rights to medical health choices--republicans! Who voted to ban books, ignore gays and their rights--republicans! Vote republican if you must, but make sure they DON'T speak against rights that you need to live! Vote fanatics OUT! If they do not speak of common sense, or a desire to work together to improve America, then vote them out! Listen, Learn, You have the rights given to you by the Constitution...Fight for what is being taken away from you...DAILY! 

Let us fight for our freedom...NOT WITH Violence...Not With Hate, Prejudice, or Lies, but with Truth--the Truth of God, not with guns but with Words...with Our Votes... Speak of Love of our Neighbors, our fellow Americans...not derisively but with friendship, with openness and welcome... This is America! Not Russia who does what the leader wants without regard to all the hate, murder that is used against the Ukrainians and to America through the known voting interference and more...

Love thy neighbor as thyself 

A version of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. First found in the Old Testament. Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate this commandment.

Let Us Fight for America - For Liberty - for ALL

NOT JUST FOR SOME!!!

SPEAK OUT FOR FREEDOM FOR ALL

WHICH AMERICA IS YOURS?

WHERE ALL ARE EQUAL WITH INALIENABLE RIGHTS

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL?

you must choose, even if it is against all others, except...Truth!
