Freedom of religion means freedom from religion and freedom
from government supporting one religion over another and from government
supporting religion over no religion.
If you oppose abortion for religious reasons that’s your
right. If you support the government
adopting your religious views in law and policy that is wrong and un-Constitutional.
Trusting your guts or your beliefs when they conflict with
science and data is a path to foolhardy failure.
Our government was designed to be a series of checks and
balances, each of the three branches having a critical role to play. When one branch ignores the checks of the
other two branches that is un-Constitutional.
If you fear democratic socialism more than tyranny you need
to study each. As a nation we have
consistently fought tyranny and consistently successfully endorsed democratic
socialism. Now, our President praises tyranny
and attacks socialism. That is the path
to tyranny.
Trump is not a leader, he is a boss. That is why he likes the military. He can order them around. Amazing that no Trump in 5 generations has
ever served in the military. It is nice
to be king.
Tanks in Washington and concentration camps on our southern
border are not symbols of freedom.
Trump has spent more tax payer money on his 4th
of July campaign event than the cost of the Mueller investigation.
Trump has spent more tax payer money at his own golf courses
than the cost of the Mueller investigation.
Though he swore to protect and defend the Constitution he
has attacked many of the main provisions of our nation’s framework. He calls the press the enemy of the people
even though they are constitutionally protected. He suggests he should serve 5 terms as President. He avoids Senate confirmation of Cabinet
level appointments by naming them interim or acting. He refuses to honor legislative
subpoenas. He seeks ways around Supreme
Court rulings. He withdrew the US from a
number of treaties and alliances that were congressionally approved. He has committed obstruction of justice on
multiple occasions with investigatory groups.
He has celebrated dictatorships in Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia
while being critical of our closest allies.
Trump has continued to profit from his private sector holdings while
serving as President, a clear violation of the Constitution. In short, he has violated his oath of office
and is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Trump is a documented liar.
Trump is a documented sexual predator.
Our Declaration of Independence began the United
States. It states that all men are
created equal. It states that when a
prince or king or leader resorts to tyranny it is time for the people to
revolt. We came a long way toward those
lofty goals until 2016 when we began to treat some people as less than equal,
tyrannical leaders as friends, and endured a prince more interested in
promoting self and personal family than protecting the citizens of this
nation. Such a Presidency must end. It is antithetical to America.
And there were no airports in 1776.
Happy 4th of July.
