“Can’t We All JUST Get Along?”
Famous words from the past that still deserves an answer
that we won’t accept.
“The lie behind the buzzword
of diversity could not be made more clear,” Thiel said Monday. “If you don’t conform (to their ideology), then you don’t count as diverse, no matter what your personal background.”
So are we talking about RELIGION, RACIAL ETHNICITY, HERITAGE or WHAT?
Immigration reform is more than just installing a "religious test" for immigration, like banning Muslims. It's about looking for extremists regardless of religion.
It's not about keeping individuals from certain countries or religions out, but about looking at why they come here and what they do here.
It's about putting those who want to legally immigrate and go through the proper steps in front of those that don’t. Those that do go through the proper procedures, should be given preference to be allowed to live here and accept the more vigorous scrutiny of their circumstances. It's about if they should be allowed to live here. If they want to live here, they should want to belong here. They should want to assimilate into the society of law-abiding citizens that live here. They should want to accept our culture, even if it interferes with theirs. They should be allowed to bring in those parts of their culture that don't interfere with ours. They should want to speak our language and help us to understand theirs.
Not everyone who is here illegally is a bad person who has a violent or criminal behavior; many are hardworking individuals with a moral upbringing. They aren't all into theft, drugs, and violence, but the good ones should not be given preference over those who legally go through the proper procedures, and those who are born here should only be given citizenship if one of the parents is already a citizen.
It appears that the many religions have the same view of God, but differ in interpretations of the words of God. It's interesting that the words and ideals attributed to God are essentially the same, before religious inflection is applied to them.
I think I heard that God will accept anyone in heaven if they repent, but I could be wrong about that, it may depend on which religious leader I ask.
What's most interesting is that if you convert from one religion to another, it doesn't make a difference which one, you most likely aren't going to Heaven, but it might keep you out of Hell and at least with one religion it may keep you from being killed.
Are we teaching our children to respect authority or reject authority? Is that a biblical teaching regardless of which religious tome you read?
It’s ok to question authority, but if your only action when confronted with those in authority is to provoke a reaction to a perception, either real or imagined, by causing a violent act in defiance of authority, then who was your teacher and what were they teaching?
We can’t all get along together if we don’t try to get along together and not act like a thug or criminal and disrespect any act of authority.
If you want to be treated like a law-abiding person you have to act like a law-abiding person and let those who are videotaping the action help to prove the action was right or wrong.
In God We Trust; religion or amoral activism, not so much.
DON'T BE BLUE
