Is hate, fueled by fear, real or imagined?


Is hate, fueled by fear, real or imagined?

Homophobia

Islamophobia

Antisemitism

Racism

Metathesiophobia

Xenophobia

Misogyny 


That reads like a list of traits of today’s Republican. Nothing positive, everything negative. Fear of this, fear of that. Blame them. Now children are afraid to attend school out fear of being killed and/or the trauma of seeing their friends murdered. 


Our country has always been progressive, like humans for the most part always were, making progress. Technological progress. Educational progress. “Evidence from individual scholars, academic institutions, and international organizations shows dramatic improvements in human well-being throughout much of the world. In recent decades, these improvements have been especially striking in developing countries.”


Today, Republicans seem to be against progress. At the same time, they seem to be for nothing other than personal greed and power. It is a conundrum I confess to not understanding. It is as if they have migrated to the “dark side,” driven by greed and hate. They hold themselves up as a standard and hate anyone who deviates from their faux ideals. They seem to believe in the existence of the one, them, over the progress of the many. They use religion to enslave white Americans just as Rev. Billy Graham and Sen. Barry Goldwater feared.


I find nothing in common with todays evangelical Republicans. They do not believe in what I do for humanity in America and, with their use of fear, call everything I believe in to be socialism and against the teachings of their Bible. The right has done this for over 100 years. They believe only in whatever can turn a profit, make them rich and everyone else poor corporate slaves. Label me what ever pleases you, but I am for, in no particular order:


College or Trade School For All As Public Education

Workplace Democracy

Expanding Social Security

Housing for All

Honoring Our Commitment to Veterans

Justice and Safety for All

Free Child Care and Pre-K for All

Eliminating Medical Debt

Reinvest in Public Education

Fair Banking for All

Supporting HBCUs and MSIs

Tax on Extreme Wealth

Racial Justice

High-Speed Internet for All

High-Speed Trains

Free and Fair Elections

Revitalizing Rural America

Income Inequality Tax Plan

Responsible Foreign Policy

Women’s Rights

Get Corporate Money Out of Politics

Reproductive Health Care and Justice for All

LGBTQ+ Equality

Fighting for Disability Rights

Empower Puerto Rico

Tax Increases for the Rich

Gun Safety

Legalizing Marijuana

Empowering Tribal Nations

Real Wall Street Reform

Fair Trade

Jobs for All

Corporate Accountability and Democracy


My question is, why are you not also for these issues, some if not all? Voting Republican today is voting against each and everyone of them. For what?

Notes - June 24, 2025

  Ever since Trump came down that gilded escalator, I have posted the following and similar. I will continue to post until my last breath or until a second person listens.  The sad part is that we were warned by patriots from Alexander Hamilton to Barry Goldwater, Billy Graham, Bob Robinson and Ghandi. I could even go back to the ancient Greeks.  “Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now” You keep watching the left while the right strips you of your rights, your freedom, your Republic. “FREETHOUGHT OF THE DAY (We Were Warned) The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout wisely. They are trying to force government leaders to follow their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of...

Caught Between Two Worlds

I was just an infant when I was taken from my homeland of Canada’s First Nations. “Now I live as a foreigner to my people. The pain that is often spoken of that comes with such separation and loss is only dwarfed by the pain of being taken from the life you were born into and forced to live an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist.  This is a perspective not brought up enough. However, it explains the common feeling of being caught between “two worlds” shared by many who are victims of this industry. The knowledge of the industry, its propaganda and the global child supply market along with my own first hand experience makes me a formidable threat to this trafficking scheme. It’s been my steadfast pursuit of the truth that has empowered me to raise my voice despite worldwide opposition. . . . From childhood innocence, to truth in adulthood, I have learned of horrifying atrocities committed in the name of “adoption” or rather the act of taking someone else’s child to own them. The ...
