HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

SIMPLE THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE FOURTH OF JULY MEANS TO ME



In November, we can take to the polls and endorse bigotry, bullying, anger and hatred.

It is within our rights to elect a leader of the free world who firmly believes:

Whites outrank blacks, Hispanics and all other non-whites

Able bodied people rule over disabled folks.

Straights are more valued than gays -- as are traditional families over non traditional households.

Men are tenfold superior to women.

Religious freedom no longer is a guaranteed right in the U.S. Constitution, thus Christians have the right to abuse Muslims and all other non-Christians.




I reject all of these insane, anti-American views.

I find them every bit as dangerous as Nazism, Fascism and the KKK.

Yet we have a 50-50 chance of having a president who not only holds these beliefs dear, he angrily flaunts his dangerous hurtful words to anyone who will listen -- via dozens of media platforms.



I was in Orlando this week.

I visited the aftermath of a person ruled by anger, hate, bigotry, violence.

Though I am not a formally religious man, I pray we do not desecrate the White House with a man ten thousandfold more dangerous than the Orlando shooter.

Happy Independence Day to all.
