God loses again

IMAG0087

It seems we have a God problem.

In every presidential election in recent memory, many of the candidates in the Republican Party claim they have been chosen by God to run for office, but each drops out when it becomes clear that, in spite of God’s will, the voters they have appealed to by claiming divine choice reject them.

Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Evangelical pastor, is so religious that he admits that, even though he would be president of everyone, even those who do not follow his religion, his faith influences his politics. When it came to running for president he said,

“And whether it’s me or someone else, and I do ask people to pray. For me, this is not just a political or financial decision, it is a spiritual decision. You know, the only thing worse than not being elected president would be to be elected president without God’s blessing. I can’t think of a worse place in the world to be than in the Oval Office without God’s hand upon you. I’d rather not get near the place. But if that’s a purpose, so be it. And that’s my prayer.”

God either rejected his prayers, or the people didn’t believe he was chosen by God

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker claimed his presidential bid was “God’s plan,” and that his political decisions are guided by God, not voters.

“My relationship with God drives every major decision in my life. Our country is at a crossroads and we need a proven conservative leader who is not afraid to fight for what is right — even when it’s not politically expedient. My decisions are guided by my relationship with God — not by what might win me a few votes.”

Before dropping out he had insisted,

“This is God’s plan for me and I am humbled to be a candidate for President of the United States.”

Ben Carson had declared.

“I believe God will make it clear to me if that’s something I’m supposed to do. If God grabbed him by the collar and asked him to run. I feel fingers. But it’s mostly me.”

In the past God has chosen Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum.

Gone, gone, gone, gone, and gone.

Ted Cruz’s father declared that his son was the anointed one and that,

He’s a man that you can be certain that he will be consistent with the principles, the Judeo-Christian principles, that have made America great and the principles of the Constitution of the United States of America, which are one and the same.

Those principles are what gives every American, every hard-working American who is looking for a way to achieve their dreams, a way to give their children or grandchildren a better life, those are those principles that are the bedrock of America, those Judeo-Christian principles

And he knows that by doing that, he is expressing the love of Jesus Christ to every American. My son Ted believes, like Jesus said, that you must be the servant of all. That is the greatest thing we can do. Ted truly has a servant spirit, he wants to love, to serve We the People, every person in America of every race, color and creed, and just share the love of Jesus Christ with them. It is for the love of Christ and the love of this country that he is running for president.”

Even Heidi, Ted’s wife, claimed that Cruz was running to “show this country the face of the God that we serve.”

And it wasn’t an assumption on her part, it was a divine revelation.

As Ted’s father explained,

“We were on our knees for two hours seeking God’s will. At the end of that time, a word came through his wife, Heidi. And the word came, just saying, “Seek God’s face, not God’s hand.” And I’ll tell you, it was as if there was a cloud of the holy spirit filling that place. Some of us were weeping, and Ted just looked up and said, “Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want.” And he felt that was a green light to move forward.”

Even Kenneth Copeland and Glenn Beck said God chose Cruz.

After Indiana, Ted’s out.

And what are we left with?

A multiply divorced and remarried man who attempted to sound like he knew the Bible, but obviously didn’t; a man who obviously has chosen mammon over God; a man who swears and makes salacious remarks about women in general and his own daughter in particular.

Not someone you would think God would choose.

Either God cannot pick a winner, or these candidates who, while thinking they are promoting God, are actually turning people off to Him when it comes to religion as the God of theirs seems to be such a total and consistent failure.

Or, perhaps, when John Boehner revealed Ted Cruz was Satan himself, God withdrew support.

He just didn’t see that until then.

Sigh, Poor Jesus

Now we have Christian men entering ladies restrooms disguised as women to show the danger of allowing Transgender people to use the restroom that matches their gender identity, making Christian men the only people disguised as women entering ladies rooms.

We have Christians threatening to patrol restrooms with guns.

There are Christians confronting women in restrooms who don’t look Southern Belle enough.

There are pastors threatening to pee on the floors in the public spaces of those stores who do not have discriminatory restroom policies.

There are Christians suddenly entering, actually storming into stores, yelling Bible verses and deciding which customers will most likely be going to hell.

Meanwhile there is hunger, poverty, sickness, and war going on, and it seems the New Christianity has chosen to throw out the Beatitudes and Corporal Works of Mercy in favor of the new purpose of the teachings of Christ, fixating on where someone pees.

He died for this?

Story Time

IMAG0233

Once upon a time there was a president whose opposition demanded he do something about people from foreign countries sneaking into theirs.

They didn’t care that these were people with no other choice than to migrate for the sake of bettering their families’ conditions, to escape from war or drug cartel controlled towns which means a lot of innocent people getting killed, because their ancestors had lived for centuries free of the artificial borders that political entities declare when they take over someone else’s territory, or found themselves living in different countries with different borders even though they had never moved.

So the president’s allies and opposition passed an immigration bill in the Senate, but his opposition in the House refused to even discuss it, so it died. They could have made changes and they could have improved it to their way of thinking, but, instead decided to do nothing.

The president then asked his opposition to come up with something they would like, but they refused to do that, instead demanding that the president do something.

So, he did.

He signed an Executive Order, something presidents do, and others did more often than this president has done.

Now they call him a tyrant.

The Massachusetts Embarrassment

IMAG0227

Here’s an interesting tidbit.

In Massachusetts, it is against the law to deny a job to a Transgender person if that is the only reason you want to deny it, but you can actually deny service in your business to that very same person if they come in as a customer.

They can work in your establishment, but they can be denied service there. And worse, if you are a Transgender employee, you may be the person the boss chooses to tell the Transgender person they have to leave.

S735 and H1577 pick up where a previous law left off.

Four and a half years ago in October 2013 then-Governor Deval Patrick signed Massachusetts’ Transgender Rights Law that extended protections for transgender people by banning discrimination in the areas of housing and employment.

But when it came to covering public accommodations, things like restaurants, lodging, gender-segregated changing rooms and restrooms, these were removed from the original bill because, with the agreement of the GLBT “Leadership” doing so would  ensure passage of the broader legislation.

I, personally, am not a fan of this somewhere-down-the-road approach as it generally means “never if I can help it”.

At a meeting to rewrite the Oklahoma City Public School District’s policies on bullying, harassment, and nondiscrimination, and to rewrite the Student and Parent Handbook to make it clear that GLBT students would be covered, I was told that I had to accept that I couldn’t get everything that I wanted, and needed to be mature enough to accept a compromise. The actual compromise, when explained, meant getting nothing, but perhaps somewhere down the road when the topic may or may not have ever been brought up again, I could try again then.

Why should any group of students have to wait for inclusion at some unspecified time down some unspecified road when they were in the schools now?

The same goes for the T in GLBT.

But some of the “leadership” (not a fan) supported the compromise of passing the watered down version of the Massachusetts bill with the promise of future consideration for the rest. They preferred to get what they could, which to me showed a weakness and uncertainty in their own case.

Anyone in opposition to the bill would have seen that too.

Why should the opposition support Transgender people if their own community was so willing to shelve them

The public accommodation bill may be coming up soon, but the big question is where the Republican governor, Charlie Baker, stands.

Carly Burton, campaign manager for Freedom Massachusetts, has stated,

“I have confidence that the Legislature will pass this bill.

We have great support both from the speaker and in the House, as well as from the Senate president and in the Senate. We also have a wide variety of businesses and unions and all sorts of other entities, women’s groups, domestic violence prevention groups, that have come out in support of this bill.”

It appears that the bill has more than enough support to pass, but the question is about there being enough votes to override a veto if the governor chooses to take that route.

The governor has said,

“We certainly support non-discrimination in Massachusetts for anybody, but the details on this are important, and I know the Legislature’s working on it, and we’ll look forward on seeing what they will produce.”

The governor’s reluctance to say what he ultimately will do is frustrating the bill’s supporters.

Needless to say, the opposition to the bill are, as all Republicans seem to be, fixated on bathrooms.

 “The Legislature has a responsibility to protect the rights and privacy of women and children in public restrooms, showers and locker rooms. So that’s paramount,” said Jonathan Alexandre, legal counsel for the Massachusetts Family Institute. “We’ve been here before. In 2011, when the transgender bill was passed, the Legislature specifically removed public accommodations, understanding that that wasn’t an area that would create a safe situation for the citizens here in Massachusetts.”

See how he used the throwing of Transgender people under the bus?

Former state Rep. Susan Tracy said Baker is likely staying noncommittal so as not to aggravate the conservative Republican base.

“The governor has taken some positions that probably have alienated that base — whether it’s trying to take over the party, which we’ve read about, or bringing some Democrats into his administration or working closely with the Legislature — so I’m sure that there are members of the conservative Republican base who are not happy with him. And perhaps he sees this as an issue where he is appealing to or appeasing that base.”

Some incumbent legislators in competitive swing-districts are also concerned about a potential challenge from a conservative opponent because it’s all about politics, and not people.

Bigots have power.

The Legislature’s Judiciary Committee has until May 2 to report out the bill.

For anyone reading this, let me make a suggestion, that I wish the media would use, if you are in a position to discuss the need for non-discrimination.

When that person, in whatever position they are, begins to make their opposition known, ask them to define Transgender before they can actually begin. Most likely they will go with the usual Republican definition of a man who just decided to throw on a dress, or decides one day upon getting out of bed that they feel like a woman so that is their gender identity.

Correct them.

Take the time to correct them.

Gender Identity is:

“a person’s gender-related identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that gender-related identity or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person’s physiology or assigned sex at birth. It is the sincerely held part of a person’s core identity.”

If they reject this and want to discuss dresses and feelings, discussion is impossible, so merely inform them they are not serious, and life is too short to discuss fantasies when reality needs to be addressed.
