Fundamentalists are what many 'conservative' right wingers are called. I take this to mean they have a belief in the fundamental teachings of the WORD OF GOD. At least this is what I have been led to believe by all the 'talk, talk talk from the political world in my news life. Some of their major 'beliefs' are PRO life, cut back Medicaid and charity spending- make it harder for people to be on the 'take' from my paycheck...Perform Justice, for Justice is the AMERICAN way!! If you took a life, then you must be put to death... the old 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' from the Pentateuch when the Word began to be written.
Then, Leftists and Liberals are what democrats or 'the poor' are called. I say, 'the poor' for that is what conservative and generally well-to-do citizens feel that 'democrats' are... the minorities, the underdog, the poor, those who do not live to TAKE ADVANTAGE... many who really FOLLOW Christ. But the PRO CHOICE people are among this group and the whole POT has been polluted by this murder.
I do not consider myself a right wing Republican. I feel charitable toward people in need, and I have found it hard in my life to make MONEY at the expense of others. I do believe in work. Hard work and I am good at it. I taught my children to work and am also instructing my Grandsons. But I do not believe women who become impregnated with a child should run to a facility or doctor and have it removed. And they should not be taught to do so. That being said... I also have been privy to ones who see abortion as the ONLY answer in their life. I also cannot see girls locked up in PRISONS because they decided they could not have a life if they had to endure an unwanted pregnancy. So I DO see the horror that this issue puts before us. However, I do not believe that democratic people should be defined by it.
Today Our president spoke of closing 'GITMO' because it does not represent the values and the spirit of the American people, through the generations. Just after he spoke, a Republican office holder came on and in the course of disputing the president, he commented, 'let our political enemies be take to Guantanamo and we will get out of them, everything they know'... leading the world to believe that it is AMERICAN STANDARD now, to threaten, to torture, to bully and to not follow Christ. Seems the merciful democrat is standing on the Word... "do not render evil for evil", while the posing fundamentalists are now the Herods of the world. Hmmmm? Or am I wrong? Too strong a subject?
I am even more disturbed and confused since the charade the republicans, (Rubio, Trump and Cruz) put on, in the so called 'debate' last evening.
ReplyDeleteIt feels as though Donald Trump is TRYING to have the American people 'see through' him and politics in general. But they do not listen enough, know enough, or (I wonder), CARE enough. They hear a little bit... like the rough and careless promises of the loud, and pick a 'front runner' because they cant stand to be on the losing team. Oh SIGH.
Donald Trump SAID, loudly and openly before the world on National TV, "It would not matter if I went out on the street and shot somebody, they would still vote for me". And it seems he knows what he is talking about.
Why does he keep getting double digit wins from the very people he is standing up conning and mocking them behind their back? What happened to the sharp, caring, educated voter- who investigated CLAIMS before they embraced them? It is not likely Donald Trump could stop EVERY Muslim from crossing our border, even if he is president. And he would have to take money from the poor... and Social Security, infrastructure needs and much other expenses, if he expects to build a wall as he describes on our Mexican border. He has no Real way to force Mexico to pay for it. By the time he has tried to 'trade sanction' them into what we want, he will be out of office, and there will be THOUSANDS dead from the strife such actions would bring, both on our soil and in Mexico.
Sometimes I wonder: How much ARE people paid to enter into the fray of depopulation on this earth? We see many things happening-- very frequently-- these days, that were almost unheard of as I lived under Dwight Eisenhower, under Kennedy, Johnson, and even Bill Clinton.
Since we heard the term NEW WORLD ORDER, I believe the days leading up to the AntiChrist are here. So watch for the mark of the beast.
Concerning the 'representative mascots of the parties', REALLY??? The repubs of THIS RACE, dignified? Look again. The dignified ones dropped out, prolly ashamed to be associated with these remaining.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats today say the donkey is smart and brave, while Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified.
When Donald trump opens his mouth, we get the essence if his bully upbringing. I can just hear it, the same way I heard one of my brothers telling another when I was just a silly girl...
ReplyDelete"Boy, you don let that skinny coot get you... get ON him, on him quick. Don't you ever let a jerk with a dollar in his pocket that makes him better'n you, it don't! Hes jes as easy to knock over as a plowboy. If he socks you in the head, sock 'im back! Hard and keep on sockin 'im til hes on the groun. Then you make sure you keep doin' it an' nobody is gonna bother ya"
It is strange to realize, though, this brother grew up to be a preacher. I'm not sure how well he learned to turn the other cheek though. He taught his boys to not fight.
