The six 'conservatives' justices on the Supreme Court nullified the Voting Rights Act that was a successful attempt to ensure that Blacks primarily would have ethnic representation in Congress. Technically....I'm sure they were correct in their ruling. Morally....it may be a different story. It took less than a day for Republicans to start planning new districts in time for the mid-terms. In the mid-twentieth century we as a people had somewhat come to grips with what we....(our ethnic forefathers)....did to an entire race of people. The answers we came up with were not perfect....and in some cases pretty bad....but at least they were an attempt to help an ethnic minority that we....(we can't get away from it folks....we enjoy white privilege....please....please read my post on this that is down at the bottom of this page titled....White Like Me)....an ethnic minority that we sentenced to seemingly everlasting lower class status at best. We are doing the same thing with the immigration deportation debate. Technically....many are here illegally. Morally....we let those who want to use racial hatred to stay in power in Congress....and the White House....incite us into doing things that we as conservatives would not have done decades ago. There was a better way to address these issues....but we chose the drumbeat with no compassion.
The ballroom was initially to cost $100 million.....then ballooned to$400 million....but supposedly paid for with donations. After the events of this past week....Trump.....through Lindsey Graham's advancing the issue....wants the government to pay for it now....because an underground military bunker and communications center is needed to protect against....as Trump mentioned...drones. Forget the ballroom....and give them the money to build the bunker. As for drones....I have warned for years now that the drone problem could only get worse....and Trump apparently seconded that warning. There is no limit to what evil minds can think of to do with a drone!
So there was yet another attempt on the president's life....and/or some of his high-profile cabinet members. The history of the Caesars of Rome is replete with one emperor being murdered....and replaced by the murderer......who then shortly after is murdered himself.
(I posted these words in January of 2012...."We are not as the Roman Empire falling, we are as the Roman Empire beginning, whose gods are numerous, whose Caesars consolidate powers given by a populace that only wants another day at the Coliseum.")
Other ancient empires experienced the same thing....and even Israel. The fringe has taken over in America....and these type of acts come from the fringe. What would one call a fringe....when it is no longer by definition....a fringe? Are we conservatives now becoming part of the new fringe? Donald Trump will need his rallies prior to the mid-terms....flying here and there and everywhere in support of Republican candidates....for that is a basic building block on who he is....but this comes at a time when for the above reasons he needs less interaction with rallies and other public events.
Three things are astonishing as they relate to the above....one that Donald Trump....whose whole existence is based on attacking others....would actually be bold enough to blame only the other side....the second astonishing thing is that when he does that....some people actually believe it....and the third thing is that evangelicals are among those who cannot see where all of this intense division began!
It was announced today that in coordination with the America 250 celebration....Donald Trump's picture will be added to the inside of passports. Buildings in the capitol are being renamed....banners with Trump's image abound....a new ballroom is being built where the world's elites and the rich and famous can feast down while the common people can but peek inside....an arch is in the planning at the foot of Arlington Cemetery.....that would dwarf the nearby Lincoln Memorial....he has two giant golden statues of himself planned for his future library....it is now the Gulf of America....and a media and Republican strategist today urged....(while the King of England was in the capitol)....that the official English language be changed to the American language. America is being rebranded into the Trump brand.
Have you read James Comey's book....or Andrew McCabe's account....or Christopher Steele's....or any of the other first account books on the....'Russia hoax'? Probably not....for we have been good cult members in not reading what our own personal Watchtower tells us is fake news. These men....did what they were required to do when an American celebrity becomes a prime candidate for Soviet or now Russian kompromat. Trump today brought new charges against James Comey. This is a sick illness of revenge....unequaled as far as I know short of Soviet show trials....and evangelicals do not just ignore this assault on truth and justice....they....far too many of them....celebrate it!
Trump's whole life has been one of threats and power bonds and litigation. MAGA fits nicely into this constant animosity that he thrives on....but to the rest of America it is a constant churning vexation of the spirit.
Surely you have heard or read of these famous words from a poem by Martin Niemöller...."First they came for the socialists....and I did not speak out....because I was not a socialist....then they came for the trade unionists....and I did not speak out.....because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews....and I did not speak out....because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."
Hitler Derangement Syndrome....Winston Churchill had it....and England should thank God that he did.
