We are believers

Here’s what the President of the United States just sent us.

Donald J. Trump

Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

Sigh.

I believe that the fundamentalist Christians want their version of America.

I believe that the Project 2025 authors want their version of America.

I believe that the armed thugs who stormed the Capitol on January 6 want their version of America.

I believe that you and I want our versions of America.

It seems a matter of fact, not faith, that these are incompatible versions of America.

But we all long for our America.

The angry, the wicked, the strong and weak, the arrogant and humble, the ignorant and savvy, we long for our America. The old Christian lady in Iowa who told an organizer that Pete Buttigieg needs to read his Bible because he’s gay and therefore in her estimation a sinner longs for her America.

Can we have dinner together over that?

No. We can’t.

Also, a shortsighted woman named Lauren Jackson at the New York Times has been given leave to write a year’s worth of opinion pieces about her belief that America Wants A God.

Oi vei is mir. I wrote to her.

Dear Ms. Jackson,

I write to remind you that America is founded on the separation of church and state, and that applies to every church of every dogma, Hindu, Jain, Animist, whathaveyou. It is profoundly disturbing to read the New York Times headline that America Wants a God. You know, I am sure, what mischief the evangelicals will make with this essay of yours.

I propose that America has had for 250 years a deeply moving, fundamentally salvific belief. Here it is.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

Credo est. Doesn't that work for you?

I believe that Mother Earth has again delivered on her promise to bring us Springtime. See the rabbit above. Happy Spring.
