Too Much Hatred

So little time

I captured this photo a couple years ago on Ballard Canyon Road in Santa Ynez. It had a mystical quality where you could imagine Jesus sitting under the tree contemplating and praying.

I’ve had my hand poised on the send button for this column for a week now. I would love to hear back your input.

My original column had me ripping into the democrats over their horrific, deceptive display about one gang member. With their backs turned on Americans, and the lowest approval rating in decades, the democrats and all their socialist counterparts, which includes the media, never look behind them. There are 300M people wondering what the heck are they thinking? We didn’t have a say in allowing criminals in our country; we better have a say kicking them out. You don’t think the cartels aren’t watching.

I switched my column up on Easter Sunday morning and then again after Pope Francis died on Monday. I don’t consider myself a religious man even though I have been raised a Catholic. As I’ve mentioned before, my wife got me to go to church again about a year ago

One of the main reasons why I enjoy going is because of one man, a special priest who will remain nameless unless told otherwise. This Father engages his “audience.” He begins by asking who the visitors are and goes up the aisle and speaks with each one of them. He recognizes birthdays and says mass offering a very personal touch for those who are suffering, dying or dealing with addictions.

There’s one thing he always speaks of and did so again at the sunrise mass on Easter Sunday. Father prayed for Putin to change his heart and see the light. Father added his ongoing prayer to end all the hate. You could see how the word pains him. The pope expressed the same feelings.

The black hearts who wish Trump dead, is wretchedly astonishing. The continuous use of the word Nazi is more than hateful; it’s repulsive. The Nazi’s killed millions of human beings and that name should never be used against anyone except the Nazi’s. The Trump haters who are destroying property and shouting in the streets must find some peace. Spittle shooting from their mouths, their faces contorted in anger, eyes like daggers of death because they don’t agree with policies.

Easter morning, I couldn’t help but draw a comparison with Jesus and Trump. I’m in no way saying Trump is like Jesus; I’m saying the public persecution of the two men run parallel courses. Minnesota governor Waltz’s daughter made the stupid statement if Jesus were here today, Trump would deport him as a member of MS-13. Why are killers being so heavily defended the way Barabbas was over Jesus? History will bear out the hatred of Trump will be more than that over Adolf Hitler. Trump’s sins? Caring about the people of America.

The democrats rage and determination to destroy one man are like the high priests who served under Pontious Pilate. The mob mentality strikes me like in the movies when the masses are shouting, crucify him.

We know much of the Middle East hates the west. It’s unlikely that hatred will ever change. It’s been ingrained in their teachings; their children. It’s part of the fabric of their culture. Because of their never-ending hatred so many lives have been and will continue to be lost in the name of their god.

When Israel lost some 1,200 people butchered in a fashion reminiscent of the Middle Ages, for a brief moment, the world was shocked. That shock was drowned out and shifted toward supporting the killers who did it. It wasn’t long before the massacred took a back seat and Hamas was being praised for doing it. Way too many Americans sided with the mass murderers. We allowed this adoration to take place on our school campuses. The hatred expanded into the fabric of our own culture and became accepted to support Hamas and hate the Jews. I grant you, the Palestinians are the collateral damage, but the blood is on the hands of Hamas, not Isreal. It could all end in minutes but the hate by Hamas flows like poison in their veins.

And like the MS-13 man of the year, who has rapidly become a democrat cult hero, the activists who have penetrated our schools and against the Jews should also be deported for their hatred and undermining of America, but they too are being coddled.

Over the past four years America has twisted itself into a huge pretzel of hate. We find the challenges of trying to undo that pretzel to be very difficult.

America needs tough love.

Americans didn’t ask to deal with millions of uninvited guests. We’re a gracious nation but there’s a right way and a wrong way. It’s imperative we fix the wrong way, send our criminal “guests” home. In no way are Americans obligated to abide by the previous president’s underlings. There’s no need to suffer having our children killed and trafficked, women raped, innocents murdered, and towns taken over by gangs. Our rights should and do take precedent over those who wish us harm. That’s a hate we can’t fix. Throw out the rancid trash.

Americans don’t hate immigrants; we all have compassion for their plight. We also have compassion for all the starving, homeless and poverty in our own country. In many instances, if not all, those poorer nations are in a world of hurt because of their own governments. The corruption in those countries is the very direction America was going before Trump returned to end it. People would much rather stay in the home they were born and raised. It’s impossible to expect any of these countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Haiti and others to fix such a deep-rooted mess at our expense. And remember, we were also flooded with Chinese no one speaks about.

Americans have so much to be grateful for. We CAN fix what is broken here at home. People are shouting Hands Off. I say hands off my wallet, my kids and corrupting government. We can’t allow hatred to stop us from making things right.

One word can be so caustic and can be easily fixed with another, love.
