It’s Not About Abortion…

jamie

Dear Christian Friends,
There’s a lot more to it than abortion. Nobody wants to have one of those anyway. It’s really about Christian values. It’s a WWJD question.

Should you vote for the party that wants to feed the poor, heal the sick, and welcome the immigrant? Who accept all people as equal, regardless of religion or gender or skin tones?

Or should you choose the ‘Good Guys’, the one’s in Red Hats, who think they have the right to force their ‘Christian’ beliefs upon all American women? Upon the rest of secular America. It’s not the Beliefs, it’s the forcing. Don’t let them lie to you: Christians aren’t hated for what they believe. It’s more what they DO in “God’s Name” that pisses people off.

At some point, you gotta ask yourself honestly: How would you like it if someone forced YOU to join the Satanic Temple? Or if they changed The Pledge to “One Nation, Under Allah” and forced you to say it. Or put “In Beelzebub We Trust” on the Greenback? Putting 666 on every bill, coin or credit card?

Because if you allow them to do it in Jesus name, they could do it in Lucifer’s in 2028, right? We’d all be much better off, by the way, because the Satanic Temple would allow us freedom to worship as (or IF) we please. #FirstAmendmentRights are important, right?

But finally, it’s your choice to make. Decide wisely, while you still have a choice. Re-read that last Book in your Bible (before they censor IT…again) and maybe seek God’s advice, if you STILL have doubts. You don’t need me to tell you what it says about…well, you know. #AwakeNotWoke

WWJD?

Dear Pro-Life Men

I’m just gonna say it. Any man that isn’t pro-choice, is an asshole. 100% of them.

Message To Pro Life Men – Dude. It’s not about you, and your probably unimpressive equipment. It’s certainly not about God. It’s about something you probably know next to nothing about. So why not just STFU, and be honest about how threatened you feel around strong, confident women. Women are not yours to control. Let the doctors and families handle the tough decisions for ALL Americans.
I am not uncertain.

Trump was not God’s fave

jamie

To all my so-called Christian friends who voted for Trump: The rise of Evangelical sheisters and the Trump presidency were both predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24:23-25

What would Jesus do?

23
At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!’ or, `There he is!’ do not believe it.
24
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible.
25
See, I have told you ahead of time.

True Christians act like Christ. Name ONE thing Trump and his team did that was Christ-like. Can’t name one? Because Trump did the OPPOSITE of what Christ would do.

Open your eyes. Don’t be deceived. ~jg

Republicans: The party of fear and lies.

jamie

Once upon a time, the Republican party stood for small government, family values, low taxes and States’ rights. Not anymore.

Honest Abe would shudder at the state of the Republican Party, The Party of Lincoln.

As an independent, I’ve voted for Republicans because they were people of honor and character. These days, it’s hard to see any truth for all of the lies.

Trumpian Republicans aren’t real Republicans. They are just using the GOP, a party that had already lost its center thanks to right-to-life extremists and an obstructionist platform, to sully the American drinking trough with the foul and muddy water of propaganda and lies.

Republicans embraced the Big Lie because they are being held hostage by the Big Liar.

Instead of embracing new technologies and sustainable energy, they spread fear and lies. Green energy will cost jobs. Clean energy is too expensive. Whatever it takes to keep things how they are.

But, it turns out that everything they say is a lie. It turns out they’ve never embraced truth or science or morality. It turns out that none of that matters to them.

The only thing they live for is party loyalty, as the party desperately clings to power. Power vested in a minority of rich white male egomaniacs, who believe they are better than the rest of us. They talk about America, but not about the America of many cultures. They mean WHITE America.

The America most of us live in is NOT the America they pursue. In their America, the strong dominate the weak. It’s every wolf for himself. Mercy and compassion are a weakness to be overcome.

They say ‘If you’re poor, you’re a failure. Probably lazy.’ The wealthy love to blame people for their predicament.

It’s time to stop blaming, and start doing something about it. It’s amazing to me that we COULD fix so many of our problems, but our leaders CHOOSE NOT TO, and Republicans lead the way in the obstruction of every policy that benefits anyone except their rich, corporate overlords.

It’s pretty obvious that the Republican party needs to change in order to survive. They will probably continue down what looks like a path to their own destruction, but it’s important to note that the GOP could seize the opportunity, and do a LOT better. Maybe even become a force for positive change.

More likely, they’ll just keep changing for the worse. ~jg

Hey GOP…you are rallying behind a LOSER

jamie

Trump is a loser.

Trump Lost The Congress and The Presidency, and is currently under numerous criminal investigations, yet the GOP now demand allegiance to this loser or risk censure. Why would they back such an epic loser?

When Carter lost after one term, he went back to Georgia and started building homes for poor people with Habitat for Humanity.
When HW Bush lost his 2nd bid for America’s highest office, he shut up, and went back to his country club in Connecticut, rarely to be heard from by anyone, except for woulda shoulda coulda, Iraq War, around the dinner table rants with Jr.
They didn’t lead their parties afterwards, or try to demand allegiance. Their opinion no longer mattered to their parties. At all.

Because they were losers, and everyone knows losers make shitty leaders.

Everyone, that is, except the new Republican Party, who rally around their half-wit, criminal tyrant, for fear of being blacklisted. Just like Mccarthyism. Just like Putin. Just like every other authoritarian regime in history.

My advice to real Republicans: Resist.

Time to stand up and be real. Like Rep. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Denounce the Big Lie, and all the other lies spewed by Fox News super-Trumpers and Newsmax profiteers. Denounce the Trumpian dictatorial control over your party, and work with President Joe Biden to heal the Nation, the people who voted for you, with the Truth, vaccines, money, jobs, and food they need.

Reject Trump. Save the Republican Party and The American Democracy. No institution, however great, can stand without a foundation of Truth and Reason.
