Oh Lord, Now Constitutional Birthright is in Jeopardy


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday said that he will introduce legislation to end birthright citizenship after President Trump suggested he wanted to do so through an executive order.
"Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship. I've always supported comprehensive immigration reform — and at the same time — the elimination of birthright citizenship," Graham said in a string of tweets. -The Hill

Bombing threats to political adversaries of Trump, the massacre at a Jewish synagogue by a avowed Trump supporter, and the sale of public lands to private cronies of the President, all signal the demise of democracy as we have defined it in our Constitution. 

Those who forget the past are doomed to relive it. Now comes the biggest erosion of rights to take away birthright citizenship which includes naturalized citizens, too. The only good news that can come out of this is to toss Mrs. Trump, her secret police father, his wife, out of this country. Remember, they are 'naturalized' foreigners, too, Mr. Trump. 

Mr. Trump cautioned us that we should not compare him to other political dictators but this is hard when he follows in their path. From making friends with our political adversaries, alienating our long alliances with our democratic allies, and signing executive orders circumventing the check and balances of our government, this smacks of the encroachment of authoritarianism.

This on the heels of the massacre of Jewish people worshiping peacefully at a synagogue. We are a nation in grieving the loss of these innocent souls who were slaughtered mercilessly by a man incited by the rhetoric of our President. The victims of this carnage will forever remain symbols of the importance of inclusion, acceptance, and freedom of religion in a democracy. Rest in peace and know we will remember you.

We still have the right to vote. Exercise your right next week.

11 Killed in Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre

Today I grieve with people around the world, mourning the tragic loss of lives in a senseless act of murder. As with the rise with other tragic gun-related horrors, I am unwilling to stay silent about the rise in hate crimes. This is not a norm which I want silenced. We all need to experience the sorrowful cost of such despicable acts on targeted groups.

These innocent people who lost their lives were engaged in worship, slaughtered by a hate-filled man incited by fear. I do not care to embolden those who espouse such hate-filled rhetoric but to remember those people lovingly came to the synagogue .Having a loved one murdered so viciously will haunt them and their community forever. 

 May their souls rest in peace. To their family members I share my condolences. Know they will not be forgotten.

WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM OF NATIONALISTS

Adolph Hitler (Fuhrer) needs no introduction as he is well known for his obsessive desire for unquenchable power, killing millions of people, and a hilarious mustache. He was a State-sanctioned serial killer of countless innocents. Hands down he is portrayed as the most evil man of the 20th century. Too bad his followers never saw themselves as complicit. Facial hair lost a movement when he killed himself.
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." -Adolf Hitler

Benito Mussolini (Il Duce) was Adolf Hitler's Italian counterpart. Don't be fooled by his Rudy Giuliani countenance: his fashion-less black-shirted discontented Italian follower/thugs struck terror in anyone who opposed him. His nationalistic fervor was not shared by his constituency. He ended up being publicly hung upside down in a village square for all to beat him. "We do not argue with anyone who opposes us, we destroy them."-Benito Mussolini


Muanmmar al-Gaddafi acknowledged, among other assorted terrorist activities, to be behind the bombing of the Pam Am flight in Lockerbie, Scotland killing 240 people. Exporting terrorism was his forte. Points for being a feminist and anti-plutocracy are automatically deducted when the karmic debt becomes due.
"Those who do not love me do not deserve to live." -Muammar al-Gaddafi 




Slobodan Milosevic (the Butcher of the Balkans), the  former President of Serbia, earned the distinction of being charged by an International Tribunal for his genocide in Bosnia. He supposedly died of a heart attack while incarcerated in prison. The surprise was that he had a heart .
"The truth can not be drowned by any flood of false indictments." -Slobodan Milosevic invoking 'fake news'
Saddam Hussein (Evildoer) was voted by his Iraqi high school as most likely to become a homicidal dictator and gas Kurdish rebels. When the US finally caught up with him in 2005, he was cowering in a bunker eating Hershey bars. So much for good insulin control and faux bravado.
"Remember the valiant Iraqi peasant and how he shot down an American Apache with an old weapon." -Saddam Hussein

Donald Trump (El Gilopollas) took a page from history by enlisting Russia to help him win a national election. A self-proclaimed Nationalist, he extorts the fears of his xenophobic, misogynistic, and racist base with the sole purpose of enriching his coffers and grabbing pussy. Likes: lying, obsessing about Ivanka, porn stars, Twittter, raping the environment, and anything white or wealthy. Dislikes: Democrats, paying taxes, spelling correctly, and thinking.
"Why are we having all these people from s--thole countries come here?”

Definition of Nationalism
 loyalty and devotion to a nation




especially a sense of national consciousness (see CONSCIOUSNESS sense) exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational    groupsIntense nationalism was one of the causes of the war.-Merriam Webster
