We are in a crisis now, Blue. History is repeating itself.

The constant repeats. This will end, too, because they always lose. To me, for them it's not just the accumulation of wealth but coupled with the sick enjoyment of suffering. For us, I just fear when it's over we'll fall asleep again only to allow history to repeat itself.

We can never fall asleep again. Forever vigilant.

I have to say, the young ones need to step up to the plate. I am getting old, the next generation needs to carry the mantle. We have done it for years. It is their time and I hope they are prepared. Unicorns do not exist.

Ha! I'm getting long in the tooth, too, and feel the weariness creeping in. But still hopeful

Thank you, Sheshe! I love learning something new and adding it to my arsenal.

“Well, in 1956, King preached a sermon at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., titled: “Paul’s Letter to American Christians” (pdf). In the sermon, King imagines what he would have told Christians during his time. King told the church:

[A]s I said to the Philippian Christians, “Ye are a colony of heaven.” This means that although you live in the colony of time, your ultimate allegiance is to the empire of eternity. You have a dual citizenry. You live both in time and eternity; both in heaven and earth. Therefore, your ultimate allegiance is not to the government, not to the state, not to nation, not to any man-made institution. The Christian owes his ultimate allegiance to God, and if any earthly institution conflicts with God’s will, it is your Christian duty to take a stand against it [emphasis mine]. You must never allow the transitory evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God.

MLK said it. That’s that.

But the irony of Jeff Sessions’ statement and the predilection of white people for justifying white supremacy with a Bible verse is the fact that Paul was beheaded because he wouldn't conform to the beliefs of the government."

Interesting. Well-imagined by Dr. King because of the fate of Paul.

clarity is always appreciated by me in trying to understand how these monsters use the bible to justify evil. Talk about contempt of human rights being biblically justified by these racist people in D.C.

IS creating many more problems that the country will be dealing with than people fleeing war, terror and rape ever posed to this country. And how many more enemies, I know the NPA aka GOP doesn't care and neither does the trump voter, but how many more enemies have this potus created for all of us? I would not want to be an american outside these borders.

Bush II not to go into Iraq because it would create a many-headed hydra.

I wonder the same thing when this is over, how many more enemies is this fucker creating.

But then again, war has been and the name of the game for the powers of European and Euro-Americans. An insatiable need for loot that has to include unimaginable suffering. After 300 years of fighting each other they found fresh bodies to continue their war now on the world of brown people.

Funny how 45's grandfather escaped military duty from already his war-ravished town, invaded so many times by neighboring countries including Russia, to emigrate here. He, a progeny of chain-migration, is a complete and utter asshole.
