Many hardcore Republicans say they refuse to support Trump because he is not a ‘True Republican’[here, here, and here]. Those same hardcore Republicans say they’ll vote for Hillary instead. So, my questions are: Why would a hardcore Republican endorse, support, and vote for Hillary? What do they see in Hillary that makes them think she’s a better Republican than Trump? I’ll admit I have a ton more questions, and I’ll be asking them as we move along. I have to... Read more
We have allowed injustice to thrive in American, and around the world, to satisfy the greed of those seeking power over others. I say allowed, because we could stand against injustice, but as a whole we don’t. If someone feels they are being treated wrongly, it is not our place to tell them their feelings are wrong – if they believe they are in the middle of injustice, we should as how we can help. But we don’t. Instead we try to explain how they... Read more
Apparently, the god of Ted Cruz who “anointed him to be President” forgot to tell Cruz that the “anointing” was being pulled – now who has yoke [1] on his face? Being a Progressive, I’m not a Cruz fan [ok, being human, I’m not a Cruz fan]– so, him pulling out, to me, is a good thing [no crying on my end]. With all this, I’m filled with questions, as I’m certain many others are. Please allow me to open my brainpan, and... Read more
Recently, the Treasure announced the amazing news that Harriet Tubman will be the new face of a $20 USA bill; which, by the way, is very cool. Think about it for a second, let it wash over you with all the gentle nuances that can flow from the Divine to your heart concerning a former slave replacing a slave owner. This is EPIC, in fact I tend to think it’s beyond epic. Harriet Tubman will be the first African-American on... Read more
When I hear words being spoken by people seeking to lead us, I don’t hear words that unite. I hear words that divide. I hear words that separate us, and create a very dangerous us vs them reality. But what frightens me even more are the words of those seeking to lead us, are the words of those seeking to follow them. If we seek anything from those who seek to lead us, it must be words that unite –... Read more
Let me see if I understand, with all the injustices facing humanity you’re actually concerned with who uses what bathroom? I think your priorities are a bit messed up. I’ll admit, centering on who can, and cannot, use a bathroom understates some of the state laws being passed. Those laws go deeper than which restroom you use; they center on discrimination. Giving anyone the excuse to use their deeply held religious beliefs to discriminate against another is wrong. It’s sad those deeply... Read more
Trump scares me, but to be honest with you Cruz brings tears of fear to my eyes. One of the main reasons is this idea that his father is forcing upon us, and that is “he is anointed to be President.” Here’s what I see as the bottom line in all this talk about anointing anyone to be President – Kings are anointed, Presidents are Elected – and there is a BIG difference. To claim that anyone is anointed to... Read more
Is it just me, or is this whole Republican Political Cycle driving you crazy? I know, it makes for some pretty interesting TV, and it does help boost the ratings for those questionable 24-hour news channels, but really – it’s just freaking crazy. I could never see myself voting Republican, if I ever did I would imagine myself sitting in a small dark room, ripping open the seventh seal, releasing the hounds of hell, pouring fire on the earth waiting...

Define the shape of water? Think about it for a moment, and tell me what’s the shape of water? It’s not hard. Water takes the shape of the vessel it is placed in, because water has no shape. In and of itself, water has no static shape on macro scale, it’s dynamic and changing depended upon the vessel. If water is in a glass, water takes the shape of the glass. The only time water can hold the shape outside... Read more
One of the most disgusting things coming to light in this election cycle is how divided we are as people. Now, I’m not naïve, I don’t live in a dream world were everything is rosy. I know we’ve been divided for long time, but this election cycle has brought to life the bitter inner demon of separation; this inner demon is always expressed with violence and insults. People shouting “Go back to Africa” or “Go to F*#king Auschwitz” is unacceptable, and expresses... Read more
