EVIL, EVIL, DOES SO SHINE

EVIL, EVIL, DOES SO SHINE,

-----within a government-----

WHERE HONESTY IS HARD TO FIND

The writers of the American Constitution were some of the most intelligent statesmen the world has ever known. They gave America the greatest form of government ever established on the planet earth.

****THEREFORE****

I will forever stand and salute the forefathers of American democracy.

I hope that historians will one day write that in the years 2017-2018 American democracy was once again put to the test. In conclusion, I hope they will write that democracy proved to be greater than any one individual. That American government proved to be greater than any one political party. That American democracy faced the greatest test since the Civil War and American democracy won.

****HOWEVER****

At the present, America is being besieged by the one of the biggest con artist ever to be wrapped in human skin.  He has conned American tax payers out of millions of dollars, and his cons have caused hundreds of individual contractors to declare bankruptcy.   He has conned so-called Christians into supporting his evil ways and his cons continue.

****NEVERTHELESS****

I am not 100% sure about a literal hell, but I am sure that if one exists the flames of hell will never burn brighter than with a Father who has taught his children to be liars---or a Mother who has taught her children to support liars---or parents who have taught their children that their skin color of white makes them superior to children of different skin colors---or parents who have taught their children that because they were born of one sexual orientation they are better than those who are born with a different sexual orientation---or parents who have taught their children that because they were born in an affluent white neighborhood they are better than a child born in the ghetto--- or a preacher who has taught church-goers that it is okay to support evil.

****SO****

I am not sure how God will punish evil, but I am sure that evil will be punished.

SILENCE IS A VICTORY CRY

SILENCE IS A VICTORY CRY

One of the greatest titles any nation can earn is to be called “THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY”. Today millions of people yearn to be given an opportunity. “Just give us a chance,” they cry, “and we will show you the kind of people we are.”  They are hard working individuals who want nothing more than to be free and to be given the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their children. For over two hundred years America has been the land of opportunity, but now things have changed. 

                                      *****THEREFORE*****

I refuse to remain silent while evil invades the hearts and minds of US elected officials!!!!!!

It is my opinion the year 2017 started one of the saddest chapters in American history. Religion has become one of the largest brainwashing institutions on American soil.  Evangelical Christians have joined forces with members of the Republican Party to form, in numbers, one of the largest evil empires ever known to mankind.  Evangelical preachers are standing in pulpits all across America telling church-goers that supporting evil is okay, and as a result Evangelical Christians have become supporters of evil.  

*****THE BIBLE*****

The prophet Isaiah speaks of a time when that which is wrong will become right, and that which is right will become wrong. Today, that time has surely reached the shores of the United States of America!!!!!!

This is the time when the world needs to see OLD GLORY shine brighter than ever before, but instead millions of Americans have forgotten the real meaning of old glory. It is a time, when one nation under God should be demonstrating that all men are created equal, rather than passing laws of inequality.  This is a time when the world needs to see a nation where a child born with a silver spoon in his mouth is no better than a child born in the ghetto. This is the time when the world needs to see the Christian Church fight the forces of evil instead of becoming a force for evil. This is a time when godless men can buy and sell votes as if votes are a product of supply and demand. This is the time when the world SEES so-called Christians who do not believe the words from their own Bible.

******THE BIBLE******

 It is recorded in the scriptures that, ‘‘MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL” yet Christians have played a primary role in making money the American God.    

The dumbest thing any government can do is to pass laws that make the rich man richer. Any sensible government official should know that a happy working Middle-Class makes a happy society. To provide the working class with better working conditions and better wages establishes a stable economy and reduces the number of social uprisings.  Remember, an intelligent working class will not be financial slaves to the rich man forever. Uprisings will occur and America is on the verge of one of the biggest uprisings known in history. And political leaders are so busy rejoicing in their riches to see what is happening.

******THE BIBLE******

What shall it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

                                      

THANKS, BUT NOT TONIGHT !!!!!!!

       THANKS; BUT I’LL NOT BE HOME FOR DINNER

    A gay man living in the Southern Bible Belt must keep a very STRAIGHT profile, because those who call themselves Christians have a unique way of keeping a gay man quiet. For decades Southern gay males have been subdued by fear--- fear of losing jobs.  Being gay in the Southern Bible Belt is grounds for employee dismissal.  When so-call Christians suspect a man of being gay they report to his employer with the aim of getting the man fired.  A Southern working man has no choice but to present himself as being straight.

    Another tactic used in the Southern United States to keep gay people restrained is to deny gays freedom of speech. Any time a gay person expresses an opinion contrary to the Christian tradition Christians immediately accuse the person of participating in some illegal sexual activity. In many cases the accused has no choice but to retreat and is forced to surrender his belief.  Even today a Southern gay male can be fired by merely expressing an opinion that is contrary to the Christian credence.

     But when a Southern gay man places himself in a position where the religious right loses control, the so-called Christians freak out. I am a Southern gay man who was determined to travel the world in search of a place where I could live as a respected gay man. I live in Southeast Asia where I am surrounded by people as genuine as genuine can be.  I am not judged by my sexual orientation, but I am respected as a free thinker. I have had a taste of freedom and I proudly say I will never again give up the right to be free. There is nothing to compare with freedom and nothing substitutes the happiness that comes with respect. With great determination I will forever kneel and I will raise my fist in defiance of fake Christianity that for decades has been the primary promoter of prejudice, bigotry, and hatred.

    Thanks; but I will not be served a Southern dish of bigotry tonight.     

A SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEW

A SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEW

   

I was born in the Southern state of Louisiana. Therefore, I was indoctrinated by the teachings of the Southern Christian Bible Belt. When I became an adult I abandoned most of those teachings. I do not support anything connected with the Southern Confederacy or the Confederate flag.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to hang black men without any retribution from the law.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to rape black women and receive no punishment from the law. 

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white men to castrate black men for no other reason than being mean.

I do not support the Confederate flag because it allowed rich plantation owners to buy black women and separate them from their children with no hope of ever seeing them again.    

I do not support the Confederate flag because it represented a government that allowed white lynch mobs to murder entire black families and burn their homes for no other reason than the color of their skin.

No sir, Mr. and Mrs. Confederate supporter, I do not support the evils of the Confederate government.  A white man after he raped a black lady could go to church sit in the Amen Corner and receive blessings from a Confederate preacher.  And many of you who hold on to the Christian title still support these actions. Shame on you!!!!!!!

INQUIRING MINDS JUST GOTTA KNOW

INQUIRING MINDS JUST GOTTA KNOW

There seems to be some confusion by a few kinfolks concerning my right to be involved in the American political system because I presently live outside the United States.  Let the records speak; I started paying taxes in America when I was a sophomore in high school with my first job in the public sector as the garbage collector on Saturdays for the town of Chatham, Louisiana. I then worked my way through college and graduate school as a salesman for Sears paying all the local, state, and federal taxes. I continued to work while I took advanced studies in the Bible at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary because I wanted to see for myself the exact translations of the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek.

As an adult, I made the decision to be a public school teacher, a decision I have never regretted.  For 32 plus years I taught school. I received a couple of promotions but had to turn down some because along with Mr. Leon Anemone we owned and operated a couple of musical retail stores.  I worked after school, on Saturdays, during the holidays, and the summer vacations, paying millions in American tax dollars.  And today I still pay taxes on my retirement funds.  I am happy to report that my tax records are open for public inspection. Therefore, I have earned the right to express an opinion in a politically controlled government that I have helped to support for 63 years.   

  

I always had the desire to travel because I like to meet people of different cultures and experience first hand how other people live. I retired from teaching, sold the businesses, and pursed my dream to travel and to write. I have had the opportunity to travel around the world stopping in many interesting places and meeting many outstanding people.  

Millions of Americans retire outside the USA, and many other millions travel for long periods of time in resort areas around the world.  I am a registered voter in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, and if I’m traveling at the time of the elections, I vote by Internet. I am an active member of Democrats Abroad which consists of thousands of Americans who have an active roll in America’s political system.

I am sorry that time and space will not permit me to tell you all the exciting places and outstanding adventures I have experienced. But of all those excitements nothing compared to a time when I saw a light in the eyes of a student, and a hand waving in the back of the room, and a voice that rang out, “Mr. Tippen, you know I’ve been thinking…” 

In my quest for the forever young pill I have been blessed with longevity.  I have tried to talk to Father Time but he doesn’t listen, and as a result, the clock keeps on ticking.   

However, I will close with the words I wrote in a poem many years ago.

But if I’m walking my last mile,

I will walk proud and I’ll wear a smile.

If it’s minutes, if it’s hours, if it’s days…

I don’t know.

But one thing’s for certain I’ve enjoyed the show.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I WROTE THE FOLLOWING:

 The time has come that the great American hornet’s nest must be stirred.

---knowing ---

He who stirs hornets will surely get stung.

I was surprised by the number of people who spoke in the defense of my character. And let the records show that many of these were Republicans.

I have not been a supporter of Donald Trump from the time I heard his first speech announcing his candidacy for presidency. Since then I have become an outspoken critic and am even more so today that ever.  I do not support Donald Trump for the following reasons:

When anyone refuses to release income tax records there is no other explanation than there is something to hide.

We have seen Donald Trump fight hard to deny 28 million Americans health benefits, knowing full well that several million of these Americans would die.

We have heard from his own lips his bragging about degrading the rights of women.

We have seen him mocking the handicapped.

We have heard him defending the rights of Russians over the rights of Americans.

We saw and heard him originally defend the rights of the KKK, the White Supremacists, and the Neo-Nazis, in the Charlottesville attack.  

We have heard him tell lie, after lie, after lie. These have been reported by thousands of reporters across America and around the world.

These are not alternative facts; these are not fake facts; these are fact, facts.

I believe it is the right for anyone to support the candidate of his or her choice. However, it is my opinion, that it is wrong for any parent to teach their children or grandchildren to support and defend the policies of bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. These policies have been publicly portrayed in the Donald Trump administration. 

THE GREAT AMERICAN HORNET'S NEST

THE GREAT AMERICAN HORNET’S NEST

     A huge hornet’s nest has developed in America and this nest is being controlled by some exceedingly deceitful hornets.  The sting from these hornets is so strong that it produces venom that goes directly to the brains of the victims. The results being, the victims become so confused they are unable to distinguish between the policies that work for them and those that work against them.

   These hornets have morphed into a special breed. While they are strictly working for themselves, they can deceive others into thinking they are working for them.  One female hornet by the name of ---------, who has a special place in the Trump administration, is known as the biggest female liar on the planet. Another female hornet by the name of ----------, who is completely unqualified, has been able to BUY the important position as the head of America’s Department of Education.  A male hornet by the name of ---------, who has been appointed as the head of the EPA,  can look Americans directly in the eyes and with cunning deceit declare that wind and solar energies are not the progressive sources of energy for the future. Another male hornet by the name of ---------- has been appointed by the kingpin boss for the sole purchase of denying the rights of women, the rights of LGBT individuals, and the rights of all other minorities, by the Supreme Court. Now another hornet by the name of ------------ is being paid blood money by American taxpayers to defend the dishonest administration of Donald J. Trump. And the list goes on!

    These hornets now control the entire governmental process, and for the first time in history they control the Christian church. The brainwashing techniques of these hornets have extended into every major aspect of America’s social system, and the total, negative affect has yet to be measured. International governments, banks and world leaders see a White House in total disarray, and as a result value of the dollar has plunged around the world.

    Somewhere, at some time, someone must clear cobwebs that cloud the minds of many American citizens. There has never been a time in America’s history when so many governmental officials were able to falsify the truth and get away with it.  It has been lie, after lie, after lie.  This one lies to cover up for that one, and that one lies to protect another one.  It is a web of deception that even a Black Widow would have difficulty weaving.  And yet this administration, filled with deceptions, receives major support from the so-called Christians.  

     Even though the Trump administration apparently does not know the meaning of the truth, some way, somehow, the truth must be told. However, in dealing with an administration of liars speaking the truth has consequences. Americans must be warned against so-called gospel ministers who threatened church-goers with the wrath of God if they did not vote the Trump, Pence ticket.  This was the biggest slap in the face of democracy ever recorded in American history.

    This is not the reporting of just one person but hundreds of reporters across America, who have been dependable reporters for decades, are alarming citizens concerning the dishonesty of the Trump administration. Even leaders of other nations have expressed concerns about the deceptions that are dominating American politics. And yet many Americans continue to stick their heads in the sand and call this fake news.  It is one thing to support an administration that is detrimental to you, but it is an act of selfishness to support an administration filled with policies that are detrimental to future generations. 
   The framers of America’s constitution are not just turning over in their graves they are doing cartwheels concerning the absolute fraud surrounding the Donald Trump administration. Arlington Cemetery should look like a freshly plowed farmland, with the number of service men and women flipping over in their graves, because they did not sacrifice their lives to protect the treachery of a cheating executive United States leader.

*************** 

   The time has come that the great American hornet’s nest must be stirred.

---knowing ---

He who stirs hornets will surely get stung.

---Nevertheless---

Donald Trump is the most deplorable piece of trash ever to be wrapped in human skin.

He is the biggest fake of anyone ever to be an American citizen.

He, his administration, and his entire family, are rotten to the core.

---And---

Anyone who continues to support him is just as rotten as he is.
