Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!


Guns, church, Christmas, Islam, Confederate flags, Mexican immigrants, Louis Farrakhan, Westboro Church, same sex marriage, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Adolf Hitler.  What do all these names, things, people have in common?  Easy—all are involved with messages of hate.

Hate is an overwhelming presence in our country today.  Those of us who are acutely aware of this are frequently depressed and angry.  Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of Americans choose to compartmentalize each issue and see virtue in each one separately.  I submit the following as documentation:

1.        Guns are not the problem; arming oneself is the answer.  Ben Carson has suggested that the Jews would have defeated Hitler if they were armed.

2.       Going to church will solve most problems—especially if you carry guns with you.  Westboro Church is a special case; they praise God and Jesus by picketing funerals.

3.       Islam:  An evil belief system, practiced by entire countries who seek to eradicate every Christian on the planet.  An exception however is

4.       Louis Farrakhan, representing the Nation of Islam (quite separate and apart from everyone else’s Islam) who sees both white people and especially Jewish white people, as the mortal enemy of black people.

5.       Christmas:  let the wars begin!  The enemy is every checkout clerk and bagboy who wishes you a “Happy Holidays!”

6.       Confederate flags:  These flags are about Heritage, not hate!  Unless of course the KKK symbol is in the middle and it is carried by a screaming racist.

7.       Mexican immigrants are all suspect, even if they are here legally.  We can assume they want your job, they are lazy, criminal and probably unsanitary.

8.       Same sex marriage threatens the institution of marriage and is against the will of God.  Whenever two men or two women marry, a heterosexual couple is obligated to get a divorce (possibly numerous times) of have multiple affairs, and children, while married.  Clearly there Is a correlation between the increase in homosexual relationships and the deterioration of heterosexual relationships.

9.       I think if you concurrently listen to recordings of Trump, Carson, Cruz and Hitler (translated of course) you would get the message.

Yes, it’s depressing.  So, we can sit around and get depressed and see what happens next.   Wait until the hate mongers take to the streets (oh, I forgot, they are already doing that) and begin committing random acts of violence against the groups they hate and anyone else who gets in their way (oh, darn, they’re already doing that also).  Wait until one of them legally achieves a position of power (for example, President of the United States of America).  Obviously that’s not likely to happen for a long time—not until 2016.

Murphy's Blog


Friday

 

How long will I be in this hell?  Why don’t they listen to me?  I thought I was saved when the man came and took me from the horrible smelly torture chamber and we rode off into the world.  But as soon as we came home, blessed home, he put me back into a new jail cell.  What are my crimes?  When do I get a fair trial?  What did I do to deserve this pain and confinement?

 

Saturday

 

I’m trying to figure it out.  The others and I were having a great time; the people didn’t know we were able to escape their puny yard and explore to our hearts content.  I did not see when the others left (the black one and the spotted one) but suddenly I was alone.  I heard it and never really saw it, but I felt it.  Searing pain, I couldn’t get away and something had a death grip on me.  I screamed and fought and somehow broke away.  It took every ounce of breath I had to get back inside and get up on the human’s bed, which is where I was when the woman found me.  That’s when they took me to the horrible smelly torture chamber.  Strange smelling humans talked in soft voices while they performed unspeakable things to all the places of pain.

 

Sunday

 

They tease me by going outside but never letting me go.  They do feed me, but always put me back in the cage.  Did I mention the torture device they force me to constantly wear?  I should be licking all the places of pain and deliciously biting the places that itch, but this huge…..thing……keeps me from relieving the constant pain and itching.  There aren’t enough words in my language to describe this.  I fear I shall go mad.

 

Monday

 

After they finish their teasing outing and feeding, I am back in the cage.  Then they leave.  The others of my kind are here, but they can either do nothing or are too afraid to go up against the humans.  I do not know if they will ever return or if I will just die in this hell.  The others do not know or will not tell.  I ask you for salvation!  Do not abandon me for all eternity!

 

To be continued.
