MAGA is Disappointed
MAGA rarely cares about the mass murders of children and other innocent victims. And they only cared about the assassination of Charlie Kirk as long as one of "them enemies" did it... They are so deeply disturbed...
I have been on a high horse recently about these things. What I have been suggesting is that we declare a national day of prayer to end the violence. This can be done on a statewide and even local level as well. What I have in mind is all politician, and all former politicians should get together and attend services. I have the National Cathedral in DC in mind and maybe the Basilicas in the Twin Cities. Prayers for an end to violence will be given by clergy of all faiths. Pleas for peace will be made by all politicians from all parties. I have already spoken to one legislator about this. Does anyone reading this think that's a good idea? One former legislator assured me it couldn't hurt. If you do. could you call or write or text your legislator, and anyone else you can think of, to suggest it?==Hiram
it's a root cause deal. What is the root cause of violence? In Minnesota, it seems to have been religion. In Utah, it seems to be gender issues. Interenational politics seems to be the problem at times. If we try to so lve the problem of violence by addressing root causes, as sooh as we solve one, another will pop up. Instead we have to address the problem of violence itself. We have to make it clear that whatever the cause, violence is not acceptable. I am just looking for ways that actually do make that clear. What I do think is that one approach is to wrench our politics out of the rut that it is in.==Hiram
Maybe a national day of prayer could get the GOP to acknowledge that the right also has people committing violence. (I don't think Trump will support that point of view -even though the person who shot him had a right leaning background). Laurie
The problem is crazy religion and intolerance... I mean what do you think "gender issues" are. :-O :-( The Religious Right is working hard to make us a "Religious Caliphate". :-O

ReplyDeleteAs long as the Religious Right thinks God approves of their bigotted positions, it is pretty pointless. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI am in favor of a national day of prayer. (or more local might be easier to coordinate). Laurie

DeleteI hope you contact your legislator about this. They are very easy to reach, and they do respond to communications.--Hiram
