HELP ME UNDERSTAND.. PLEASE

I'm really trying hard to understand why interpretation of our century's old language has been so scattered. It's as if the "tower of Babylon" is being revisited. When President Trump condemned ALL hatred, bigotry and racism, in the past that word ALL would have been inclusive, and would have included the White supremacists, the neo Nazi's. Why is that so difficult to understand. I am also trying to understand why those folks who objected, to those mentally deranged hate filled jerks, and arrived at the scene wielding baseball bats looking for a fight and getting it, shouldn't have been included in that word ALL. In context of that group vs group exhibition of hate there were also people in that park who came there to protest the "Nazi" like practice of erasing past histories. History that, if erased will undoubtedly be repeated due to a lack of awareness of consequence. Why is it ok to hate our President? I also fail to understand why the fact that I am a Christian conservative, who believes that hatred is a form of murder, that believes I have been directed to love my neighbor, that believes in forgiveness, that believes people can be changed, that believes in honesty and truth, Why should I, as a supporter of our President, be called a Fascist, a racist, a hater or be considered to be a bad person.🤔 Feel free to respond https://www.facebook.com/A-Response-2-by-Arbee.../

LIKE IT OR NOT... POINT YOUR FINGER AT




Wow.  We as a nation could not ask for a better chance to do some real soul searching.  That search should tender positive results for our nation, our society as a whole.  Will the lesson be squandered?  Most likely the answer is, probably.  Unfortunately the sad practice of playing the blame game will continue, the indoctrination of ideologies, the refusal to let go of past angers will foster more of what the mirror of Charlottesville could let us see. It seems pretty clear as to what the results of hatred and anger can be, but as to the real causes behind it all, put the blinders on because we don’t really want to see the why.  We miss the why because we always want to blame the other guy in lieu of seeing all sides of the matter, including our part (as in all contests) our side.

The majority, of the United States of America citizens, are aware of the hatred generated by indoctrination in the children of radical Islamists.  When we see Isis parents, pounding the bigotry of their beliefs into 4 and 5 year old children in order to ensure the survival of the ideology, the parents themselves show us the effects of indoctrination.  When we see the indoctrination of fears and hatreds being smeared upon the minds of our own children we are unable to see the correlation.  We are not born into this world in a state of fear, anger, and hatred.  Somebody has to teach us who to fear and hate.  We also have to be taught how to act and react to our targets.  That mental sickness, and the acceptance of it as normal makes it ok for me but not for you.  Indoctrination can be a very subtle force, and in most cases it is hidden by generations of repetition.  

In our own country this form of anti-(choose your poison) is turning our country into hundreds of small groups at odds with one another because of some injustice, real or perceived.  The United part of our society is unravelling at an exponential rate, fueled by the words of those who would see our country fail.  We as a society need to fall back on the adage, “United we Stand, divided we Fall”.  We as individuals need to take an honest hard look at the facts of our history, the actual results of our way of life, the progress our way of life has made in all forms of human endeavor.  Our growth has not always been pure and beautiful.  There have been some very ugly growing pains along the way and those need to be recognized to the same degree as are the successes.  We as a people need to be able to put our place in this time in perspective to where we have been, how we failed and how we succeeded.  Trying to erase the facts of both good and bad will not change where we are today but it will increase the probability of failure tomorrow. The above preamble takes me to the subject that prompted the following commentary from this plain and simple citizen of the United States of America.  What teachable possibilities have the violence in Charlottesville (8/13/2017) given us and what can we hope to change.

We need to stop accepting violence as a form of discourse for change.  We need to stop accepting partial truth as fact. We have to stop attributing the actions of a few to the all of other groups.  We need to accept and learn from our past.  We need to look for ways to effect change through the use of reasonable discourse.  We need to start acting like a society of adults rather than one comprised of toddlers.  We need to understand that forcing political correctness merely masks hatred, bigotry it doesn’t change those illnesses.  We need to embrace our differences at the same time as we recognize and respect the rights of one another to have different goals and beliefs.  I am quite sure that everyone has their own list, but as individuals we need to inspect our beliefs in the face of fact not fiction.

God Bless our Nation,

our warriors,

and our leaders.

Love your neighbor, and yourself.

Pray for peace and understanding.

Like it or not... HE'S RIGHT


CHARLOTSESVILLE, VIRGINIA… 8/13/2017… Who are we supposed to blame?

In a city, known for being a great place to be an American citizen, a clash occurred at a “White Nationalist” demonstration.  Once again our duly elected President can say or do nothing right.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides - on many sides,” Trump said.

Ted Cruz on his twitter feed: It's tragic and heartbreaking to see hatred and racism once again mar our great Nation with bloodshed.”

President (past) Obama tweeted a quote from Nelson Mandela, “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion..."

In contrast to the facts, almost every report of this conflict  and Mr. Trumps reaction, no mention of the opposition of this demonstration is named, nor is the context of the Presidents condemnation of all those factions at play.

Some of the reality of this situation has been obscured in order to heighten the “anti-Trump”, anti-USA”, resistance movement talking point that Trump is a bad, bad, person.  The real causes involved in this sad part of our societies growth pain are basically what the President called out, bigotry and hatred.  Like it or not, Mr. Trump was right when he called those two sicknesses, hatred and bigotry, as being the basic causes behind  the rising fever of divisive conflict in our nation.

This demonstration was a objection to the removal of a segment of our history, a statue of Robert E Lee.  I am not a white nationalist but I disagree with the current pump up of political correctness.  The cheer leaders of this bastardization of our history include those groups which would pull our people into the mire of hatred.  The antifa group, a major part of the Resistance Movement, also arrived at this demonstration in a state of preparedness’ for conflict.  You will be hard pressed to find mention of this fact.  Once again, like it or not, President Trump was absolutely correct in saying many factions were at fault.

Hatred , bigotry, racism is being promoted by so many divisive components of our society and by those who would see our way of life, capitalism and democracy, fail and disintegrate.  Many say that the war in Afghanistan is our longest war, but that war has only been going on for a mere 15 to 16 years.  The propaganda war being waged on our country through propaganda, education and Medias has been conducted against us for some 60 years.  This “fifth column” is finally coming out into the open and its effect is catastrophic  and is evidenced by the almost complete division of our society since the Civil War. 

Like it or not, our President is 100% correct when he calls for our people to abandon hatred, when he calls for us to unite behind the tenants of our system of life, the one based on the merging and acceptance of the color race and creed of our neighbor.  Like it or not, as individuals, we need to look in the mirror and see if we have been infected by our national sickness.

Pray for our country, our people, and our President.

Pray for healing of our Nation

Pray for the elimination of all forms of hatred and bigotry.

GOD BLESS THE USA
