He has these hillbillies locked up in his pen and he knows it. His brand is on them. He is at home among them. Since his earliest days, indeed, his chief strength has been among the folk of remote hills and forlorn and lonely farms. Now with his political aspirations all gone to pot, he turns to them for religious consolations. They understand his peculiar imbecilities. His nonsense is their ideal of sense. When he deluges them with his theologic bilge they rejoice like pilgrims disporting in the river Jordan…

Who are they?
A insightful peek into the “Men of God”and the organization that spawn them “The National Prayers Breakfast”founded in 1935. Orbiting and supporting “God’s guy” _Donald Trump.
Think of The Handmaid’s Tale coming frightfully true?……… Little Bird tells a scary story.
Opinion:
Losing an entire generation to self entitlement, bigotry, racism and hate. A legacy of shame and eventually everlasting contempt for the rest of us. Below is a true “Man of God” who in the 1940s had the courage to do the right thing.
Archbishop Joseph E Ritter made the decision to integrate the schools and instructed his priests too read his letter to all who were offended in each parish. That “they will be excommunicated from the church”, citing “he follows only a God” who loves all regardless of their color. Now that is the definitive Man of God.
The Holy Trinity of White Male Privilege
Eight sterling years of service to the nation without a hint of scandal. President Obama was a great president.
Speak English? You first! _ As the English would scold the “Racist White Ugly American”, we Brits created the language and you’re speaking a crappy poor version of it.
It’s going to get really lonely on that ‘Whites Only” racist little hill.

Quote of the day
“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca
This well hidden side of Ol Mitch really sheds a lot of light in his deference to Donald Trump don’t it? The fanatical willingness too go to any level to obstruct, run pass interference and even put his on political future for Trump on the line. It becomes chrystal clear now, “someone once did it for him” a person with immense political power. A powerful senator also like him covered up his shame and bailed him out of a devastating sexual scandal. That would have destroyed his future political ambitions. In Mitch’s sick warp sense of empathy, he sees the 1967 closeted Mitch McConnell in Trump, someone needing salvation.
“For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder,” he said. “We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”
Just to add context to Frederick Douglass’s speech mind you he gaved it in the 1850s, more than a hundred fithy years ago. Frederick Douglass won his freedom from being a runaway slave. Most likely he had to conjure up every scheme and survival technique possible, from apprehension by “Slave Patrols” actively searching for him. He did manage to get too freedom, I’m more than certain Mr Douglass if he was alive today and witnessing a black male led down a public street in handcuffs. By white patrolmen on horseback wielding a leash around his neck could relate to this scene, from personal experience. He will be appalled that it’s happening in the 2019…How poignant are his words, and how little has things changed since his times, those ring words still are true to this very day.

Frederick Douglass’s “Fifth of July” Speech..
To some, celebrations of American independence on July 4 are a reminder of the country’s hypocrisy on the matter of freedom, as slavery played a key role in the nation’s history; even today, America’s history of racism is still being written, while other forms of modern-day slavery persist in the U.S. and around the world. For those who feel that way, July 5 may be an easier day to celebrate: on that day in 1827, 4,000 African Americans paraded down Broadway in New York City to celebrate the end of slavery in their state.
Frederick Douglass’s motivation too write the speech came from psalm 137, often referred to as the “Song of Babylon”in reference to the exile of the ancient Hebrews too Babylon.
