Genuine patriots work to heal a country, to bring out its best, to strengthen its social and political fabric and make a better nation and world for future generations.
The Texas law is scary. What is scarier is the approach. Change the term "abortion" to any other behavior or characteristic. E.g. Attending a Synagogue, same-sex marriage, working on Sunday, maintaining an unhealthy weight, having brown eyes, etc.
However, isn't the core of the question whether a State can pass legislation promoting harassment for the exercising of civil rights? Is there not a case for those targeted by these suits to counter-sue for civil rights violations? Seems this is the Legal industry's 2021 Full Employment act.
Then you have the ones that think of themselves as Conservative. They consider conservative to be wholesome and good. They watch Fox News because it says what they want to hear. They do not see that they are getting the news with the opinion that they should have on it. They are told that January 6th was just another tourist day at the capital. They see clean cut Americans giving the news and enjoy the knee high camera angles. The news is filtered so that they do not hear what they do not want to hear. They believe that CNN and MSNBC are nothing but lies, even with no proof. They hate Rachel Maddow, even though they have never watched her show. They quote facts with no reference, because they are actually lies.
SHAAZAM! WHAT THOM JUST SAID!] 😉 I'm curious if any of the fellow Christians here are tired and disgusted with those (above) using Jesus and God as their reasoning for violent, intolerant, hypocritical and non-Christ like agenda? I'm curious if any of them know their actions are the cause of a decline in church attendance and new membership into Christianity. I, for one, certainly am.
Whenever I'm confronted by one of these haters, I tell them that Jesus was a twin, because the Jesus I learned about and pray to is anything but the Jesus they speak of! Good Grief!
We will be getting a further glimpse into the world and minds of some of the folks mentioned when we finally hear more about the insurrection of 1/6.
Legend mentioned "The Republican Brain" recently. That book made me more compassionate toward them. We are not wired the same. I learned something further recently. A neurologist said he thought the amygdala (fight or flight) and the pre-frontal cortex (judgement) parts of their brains are not communicating, so they react. Making decisions from a flight or fight perspective creates a hell for all of us. There are reasonable solutions, but they are not using reason.
Whether it's genetics, nature or nurture, we have to overcome their agendas. They need to be held accountable for the violence or their attitudes, but I just wish we could help them in the process.
All my life I've tried to tell these people as I have encountered them, we're not enemies, but in truth we have the same enemies. Why can't we stand together and make this a better country? Now, I'm sorry to say, it seems the time for talking is just about over. All that's left is preparing to defend our lives from a terrible mistake.
