Putting National Unity Under One God On Hold, For Now
WE ARE GOING TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER ONE GOD, says Donald J. Trump. Under whose leadership, does he mean? His own? His vision of America's future? Hardly. Had Donald paid a bit more attention in school, he would remember that the United States of America is indeed one nation, but barely; at times two nations, at times fifty, but beneath no overhanging god, of any religion. Secular government, religiously diverse population, with complete individual freedom philosophically, religiously, politically. A nation of individuals, embracing their own individual religiosity, all unique. So, where does that leave "one nation under one God?" No-wheres-ville, man. As usual, the Donald strikes out, intellectually. Please readmit all polytheistic native Americans, polytheistic Hindus, atheists, and polytheists of all makes and models back into America, where they belong. This Donald Trump dude is crazy as hell, becoming ever more so, and is threatening to lead an angry mob of reactionary white men back into absolute power in America, where they once were, oh so long ago. (make America great again! Bring back the old days!) Exactly where has all this national unity under one god been for the past eight years? Or, for that matter, the past two hundred and forty? In hiding? Nowhere. Where have all the conservatives been with their calls for national unity under Obama and one god? It would seem, that according to Trump and his white male conservative minions, one nation under one god could easily wait until Obama is out of office. We certainly haven't heard much about it til now, but how much do you want to bet that we will start hearing about it now? Putting national unity under one god on hold for eight years seems a bit overly patient for patriotic christian conservatives, does it not?.........PLEASE SUPPORT FREE EXPRESSION BY TELLING OTHERS ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. THANKS!
