History is one of the best tells on human behavior. History repeats itself when we do not pay attention. History matters.
Our thoughts, words and actions have consequences.
Denial, lies, and conspiracies can never stand in the light of truth. Truth is the only saving power in the face of malevolent forces with self-serving and greedy agendas. Thank God for those who see and stand up for truth in the midst of unpopular opinions seeded by denial, lies, and conspiracies. Hopefully honesty and integrity are stronger motivating forces than self-dealing and killing our democracy for which was so hard fought. May others not cave to the embarrassment of realizing they have been lied to, and recognize truth over fiction and delusion.
Democracy matters. It is possible to lose our precious democracy. It is beginning to happen from within. We need to make better choices if we do not which to repeat the sins of the past.
It starts by twisting the truth, ignoring the truth, and trampling on the truth, all of which erode democracy.
You matter. Each one of us matters. This is not a sports team where we pick a side and stick with it no matter if they win or lose. What if people started saying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes played much better than Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, and therefore the Chiefs won the 2021 Super Bowl last week? It would be a lie, as much as Kansas City wishes it were not. But to say the Buccaneers won over the Chiefs would be a denial of the facts, much the same with the 2020 Presidential Election being stolen. It simply did not happen. Truth matters.
It is good to remind ourselves that we can back the wrong side of democracy through ignorance, while listening to the lies many promote. How do we tell if we are on the right side of the law? Some say they stand for law and order, but law and order is not the same thing as treason, sedition, coup, terrorism, nor fascism.
Liberty matters. We stand for liberty of all people, not just white people. Unless you were born as an American Indian, we are all descendants of imigrants.
Trying to suppress the vote of anyone for any reason is not democratic. All votes count, even if they are from black and brown people, students, the elderly, and women. Only wanting votes of white men to count is a white supremist agenda. Claims of voter fraud are attempts to thwart the fact that every vote counts, even mail in votes, which our military and many politicans use.
Voting is also not about red states and blue states. There are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in all states. By the way, Jesus was not a Republican, nor a Democrat, as you well know. He taught the Golden Rule, but he also kicked the money changers out of the Temple.
Each one of us matters. We are more alike than the differences we profess.
The Genome Project, a scientific study done by National Geographic in New York City, using DNA from saliva, shows that all humans come from two individuals, Scientific Adam and Scientific Eve. We are all one, no matter where we migrated to after that. To say you are prejudiced against anyone because of their ethnic background, or skin color, is to say you are prejudiced against your very own ancestors.
It is up to you and me to stand tall for democracy. Pray for your country. Check out the news stations and the reasons why people are saying that President Joe Biden won in a free and fair election. Allow yourself to hear something other than the lies from those who possibly have told them to you. People make mistakes. There is a reason so many people have believed in the lies and conspiracies as if they were real news. Do not stand with the haters. If you are surrounded by people who hate as the glue that holds them together, find a new group of people, based on love.
Learn the truth. Stand for truth. Truth Matters. Democracy Matters.
God Bless Everyone Everywhere
