I'm done. I have been sympathetic. I have been patient. And now I'm done. I'm watching a church burn across from the White House. I have been concerned all day for our daughter and her husband who have delivered a load near LA and can't get one out. While waiting to hear from them, I watched a Fed Ex driver in fear of his life caught up in illegal protesting on the highway. By being persistent they finally got a load out of the state. Suddenly, they've gone from essential workers, drivers who transport the very things that are being looted, to nobodies.
Another daughter is a fulltime firefighter and is on alert for a local protest. She's extremely nervous. Again, the essential nature of her job no longer "matters." All life matters: the unborn, the young, the old, the exploited, the handicapped, the poor, the sick, the bullied, the ugly, the dark and the light, and the wealthy, and the beautiful, and the healthy, and the successful. Every single body matters.
Many of the rioters are incited by Antifa, paid provocateurs, which is nothing to do with white supremacy and everything to do with anarchy, anti-capitalism, and anti-nationalism. Add to that: if people knew anything about the Communist Manifesto, they would know that to get rid of private property is to get rid of the need to defend anything. No wonder the looters and destroyers don't care. They don't "own" anything, and to be honest, the democrats like it that way, one more step to Socialism.
This culture is what our public school curriculum is expounding. To add insult to injury, most of the people on the street, dark or light, can barely form a logical sentence. And the rest spew F*** at whatever can possibly be cursed, not even knowing the meaning of the acronym.
I've already posted how every out of control protestor of every ethnicity is an example of who they were at 5 years old, left undisciplined by their mothers. It's not on the daycare, not on the school, not on grandma. It's on nobody but you, mom. Even without dad, you could've handled this.
I've said this before, and I'll tell you again. My mother's father was a sharecropper in Alabama. My mother literally remembers picking cotton, not as hard as the generations before her, of course. In our genealogy, we owned exactly 0 slaves. My father was an orphan, literally left in an orphanage as a young boy until he was adopted by a deluded woman. I am not going to claim to understand what it's like to live in dark skin. But I am going to say that this is much less about the haves and the have nots than it is about who will and who will not.
I am firmly a believer of a God of choice. We make it or break it based on choices. Can things still go wrong? Yes, both my father-in-law and my husband have been victims of mistaken identity. My father-in-law was roughhoused, most law abiding guy you could think of.
And then there's that short, sweet verse in the Bible that says to abstain from the appearance of evil. If you think somebody's gonna take it the wrong way, don't do it! Just read the Bible, all of it, all the time. You'll see the answer to every single injustice. I don't believe many people believe, I mean really believe God. I mean talk to him and listen for him and watch for him and wait for him. If you think what's happening is bad now, wait till they come for Christians? Are you ready? How big is your belief?
The best thing I saw today was a black family out doing work together in their front yard. The son was working on the bank and the preteen daughter push mowing. This was while the protest was going on in our town. I would not blame them if they wanted to go and join them, but I'm guessing they are ashamed of how peaceful, decent protest has been stolen from them.
