Ghosting God, Ghosting Self
Day 64
Tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence, an amazing document, the foundational document of our Democracy, of the United States of America. I have been writing about the similarities between what our founding fathers accused King George III of and what Donald J Trump and his gang of Thugs, Thieves, christian nationalists are doing today. Yet, in the finest display of what Chutzpah is, means, these thieves, thugs, christian nationalists who want to control everything, who don’t want to answer to Congress, to the Courts, to We the People are planning the ‘big celebration’ by syphoning off money from the America 250 organization that was set up in 2016! Rather than have a bi-partisan commission do it right, Trump et al decided to figure out ways to syphon the money, solicit and steal new money coming in and make a mockery out of something Holy and Spiritual-the celebration of the founding Spiritual, Moral document that pointed the founding fathers and everyone since in the direction that God had opened their hearts and eyes to! Alas, the progress towards the goals and principles laid out in this ‘holy scripture of democracy’, has been forward and then retarded, depending on whom was in power in the Presidency, in the Congress, in the Courts-allowing petty politics, grabs for power, resentments, fears, hatreds undermine the progress the founding fathers hoped would happen.
Today, there is no pretense of aiming for these goals, no pretense of living these principles, no pretense of surrendering to the principles and goals of Christ, of the Bible, of the Declaration of Independence nor to the Constitution! Yet, way too many of We the People still support these thieves, these charlatans, these idolators-at least 33+%, when all of We the People need to rise up and say NO to Trump, to Vance, to Lutnick, to Vought, to Miller, to Rubio, et al in the name of our Holy Documents, “to proclaim Freedom throughout the land and to all its inhabitants therein”!! Yes, I am angry that the Freedoms my father fought for in World War II, that my friends fought for in Vietnam, that men and women have been fighting for since 1776, that my friends and I, along with millions and millions of people fought for in the 1960’s and ’70’s are being trashed, stepped on, shredded by John Roberts and HIS LYING Cohorts like Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh( that fine christian man who believes he should be able to take any women he wants to) and, at times, Gorsuch and Coney Barrett. Yet, these Mendacious Band of Merry Men(Coney Barrett belongs to a sect of Christianity that says MEN RULE) along with the Men and Women who serve themselves and Trump have convinced enough people to still scare the Republicans in Congress to shut the fuck up and kiss Trump’s ring, ass, whatever he tells them to.
And now, the Democrats offer stupid pap and far left “socialist democrats” to the mix! Bernie, AOC, Mandami all are having a field day promoting and supporting the Palestinians like Hamas who have done more enslavement of their people than Israel has-which is saying a lot! They are supporting the paths of religious fervor, Sharia law, keeping women ‘in their place’, hating Jews, making Israel the enemy, the hatred and death sentences for being gay, trans, etc. Hey Zoran, Bernie, Alexandria-how is this “proclaim freedom thought the land and to all its inhabitants therein”? Just asking to see if you are aware of the lies you are telling yourself and just practicing deception upon the rest of We the People or if you are so far in the ether that you believe in the goodness of people who rape and murder men, women, children and babies-all of whom were trying to find common ground, gave jobs to the people who viciously attacked them and whom you have proclaimed since October 7th as ‘freedom fighters’, repeating their slogan “from the river to the sea” which has the historical context of killing all the Jews in Israel and then the world? Is it true that you took the name Socialist Democrats from the party that ruled Germany in the 1930’s and 40’s? Both these “socialist democrats” and these ‘fine upstanding christian nationalist men and women’ join together in their hatred for Jews, for Israel, for Freedom of Speech, , for Freedom of Religion, for Freedom of the Press, for Freedom of thought and Free and Fair elections. Both will scream “fake news”, “stolen elections” and laugh all the way to the bank while fleecing the rest of us and the government- just wondering how a poor girl like AOC immediately began wearing designer clothes?
ACTION STEPS:
Read and immerse yourself in the Declaration of Independence- see how you can further the goals of our founding fathers and overthrow the new Pharaoh who knew not Jefferson, Franklin, Hancock.
Make a Decision to celebrate the Flag and for which it stands-not the confederacy, not the christian nationalism being promoted
Get together with people, democrats and republicans, who believe freedom is more important than petty differences and seeking power to find common ground and a plan to change what is.
Happy 4th, God Bless America, God Bless all of you, Rabbi Mark
