Something to Think About …. “🤔 TAKE A HARD LOOK …. It’s Empathy, It’s Human 🤔 …. It’s Lacking “!!

SEPARATING PARENTS AND CHILDREN

SHAME, AMERICA

The beacon of freedom and hope, the moral compass of the world, the everywhere ever-present policing and keeper of the world, the constant lecturing about behavior in countries around the world.

Seems like this encompassing description of the mighty, imperialistic U.S. of A. has gone down the drain.

Will this be the straw that broke the camel’s back?
Is this the America that we learned about in school?

Is this the nation that imposes morals on other countries?
Seems to me … NOT!!

THE MORAL COMPASS IS BROKEN

This is not an established law.

This is a cruel, heartless policy of the current U.S. administration run by the

“Fool on the Hill‘!

Drumpf has implemented a horrific child-snatching policy. He has instructed immigration agents to rip children from the arms of their parents.

These are families who are fleeing to America because their lives are at risk at home.

Thoughts for today, #486 …. “My sentiments exactly …. Please, just go away …. Pin-Up Girl …. “!!

~~May 6, 2017~~ 

JUST GO AWAY

I am a woman; a happy, retired physician who had a fulfilling career in a field usually dominated by men.

I am a woman who worked.

There’s nothing in you that represents me or any other woman like me.

In my humble opinion, you are one of the many empty, fake and irrelevant Trumps who have weaseled your way into the most sacred corner of this nation.

You and your ilk have no right to inhabit the White House, the peoples’ house.

Your views, your feelings, your thoughts and your opinions which may have been expressed in your book, have no meaning or  bearings in the lives of women who work.

‘Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success.’

Please, just go away!

Thoughts for today, #476 …. “Right Wing: you don’t get it, do you? …. “!!

~~March 12, 2017~~ 

THE RIGHT WING 

Seems to me the ‘right wing‘ cares more about themselves than others in every way.

They are about keeping the classes separate.

The right wing is a destructive force versus the left wing which is a constructive force.

I’m a proud progressive, liberal left-winger.

HortyRex©

According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics, in liberal democracies, the political Right opposes socialism and social democracy.

Right-wing parties include conservatives, Christian democrats, classical liberals, nationalists and, on the far Right, racists and fascists.

The general consensus among political scientists is that “left wing” includes liberals, progressives, socialists and communists, and the “right wing” includes conservatives, traditionalists, reactionaries and fascists.

Something to think about …. “The most devastating story …. 2016 …. y’all saw it …. “!!

~~December 13, 2016~~ 

HE’S PEOTUS BECAUSE OF A “GLITCH” IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Fair and square he didn’t win. He doesn’t have a mandate. He lost the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes.

Yet, even with this Russian stuff, he’s set to be POTUS.

He’s proven to be a racist, sexist, mysogynist, opportunistic, sneaky, slimy, xenophobic, egotist, sexual predator, vindictive bully.

Still plenty Americans voted for him. 

It’s going to be quite the bumpy ride!

HortyRex©

He talks like a third-grader … literally!

He never really explains how he’s going to do anything

He has no experience

He’s a bully with the media

He doesn’t care that you disagree with him

He’s gone bankrupt four times

He’s a terrible Christian

… and counting!

My Rose No Longer

Published on July 2011

In my rose garden
There’s a special rose
The petals are smooth as satin,
and remind me of the good times
The thorns poke at my fingers,
and remind me of the bad times
The smell was so sweet-
Like the one who left me
As I am reminded,
I shed a tear,
Then as more tears shed,
I can no longer see my special rose

Thoughts for today, #217 …. “Separation of church and state”!!

~~August 21, 2015~~

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

The separation of church and state is a description for the distance in the relationship between organized religion and the nation state. It may refer to creating a secular state, with or without explicit reference to such separation, or to changing an existing relationship of church involvement in a state (disestablishment).

IN THE UNITED STATES

“Separation of church and state” (sometimes “wall of separation between church and state”) is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Since the First Amendment clearly places the restrictions solely on the state, some argue a more correct phrase would be the “separation of state FROM church“.

Either way, the “separation” phrase has since been repeatedly used by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Separation of Church and State – The Metaphor and the Constitution

“Separation of church and state” is a common metaphor that is well recognized. Equally well recognized is the metaphorical meaning of the church staying out of the state’s business and the state staying out of the church’s business. Because of the very common usage of the “separation of church and state phrase,” most people incorrectly think the phrase is in the constitution. The phrase “wall of separation between the church and the state” was originally coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on January 1, 1802. His purpose in this letter was to assuage the fears of the Danbury, Connecticut Baptists, and so he told them that this wall had been erected to protect them. The metaphor was used exclusively to keep the state out of the church’s business, not to keep the church out of the state’s business.

The constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the government concerning laws they pass or interfering with religion. No restrictions are placed on religions except perhaps that a religious denomination cannot become the state religion.

However, currently the implied common meaning and the use of the metaphor is strictly for the church staying out of the state’s business. The opposite meaning essentially cannot be found in the media, the judiciary, or in public debate and is not any part of the agenda of the ACLU or the judiciary.

In my humble opinion and, as I understand it and was taught about it, there should be a clear-cut distance between “church and state”.

I’m no constitutional scholar.

I strongly hold the view that neither the church nor the state will tell me how, where, when or why I live my life.

I will abide by the general rules of proper decorum and human relations but I have my own sense of moral compass as well as social awareness.

At least, this works for me.

To start the day … Namaste, always a good reminder!!

 

~~July 30, 2014~~

Namaste, sometimes expressed as Namaskar or Namaskaram, is a customary greeting when individuals meet or farewell. It is a form of greeting commonly found among people of South Asia, in some Southeast Asian countries, and diaspora from these regions. Namaste is spoken with a slight bow and hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards, thumbs close to the chest. This gesture is called Añjali Mudrā or Pranamasana. In Hinduism it means “I bow to the divine in you.”

Namaste or namaskar is used as a respectful form of greeting, acknowledging and welcoming a relative, guest or stranger. It is used with good byes as well. It is typically spoken and simultaneously performed with palms touching gesture, but it may also be spoken without acting it out or performed wordlessly; all three carry the same meaning. This cultural practice of salutation and valediction originated in the Indian subcontinent.

“I honor the place in you

in which the entire Universe dwells. 

I honor the place in you

which is of love, of truth, of light 

And of Peace. 

When you are in that place in you 

And I am in that place in me

We are one.”

If only we could live by these words ….. 

We would recognize there is the Universe in each one. There is love, truth, light and Peace inside that place in all. 

There would be no need or room for hate, greed, evil, wars, crime, bigotry, prejudice, differences, jealousy, persecution, intolerance, lies, pride, deceit or separation.

We would be one because we would follow the “Golden Rule” to a “T”.

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

In the Book of Proverbs 6:16-19, among the verses traditionally associated with King Solomon, it states that the Lord specifically regards “six things the Lord hateth, and seven that are an abomination unto Him”, namely:

A proud look
A lying tongue
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that devises wicked plots
Feet that are swift to run into mischief
A deceitful witness that uttereth lies
Him that soweth discord among brethren

At the end of the day …. The Conversation!!

~~May 21, 2014~~

-The Conversation-

Once upon a time,

In the land of breeze and sun

A group of friends were gathering.

They slowly built connections and bonds 

And grew together as one. 

The trust was there for all to see

the door was open for all to come in.

A disguised, strong force came in

after being welcomed as another one. 

Havoc, mistrust, lies, separation, destruction appeared

While the one did all the work

behind the scenes. 

All felt alone and on their own

distressed because they didn’t know. 

Huge steps were taken back

and different paths appeared.

Each on their own,

wounded and sad

Because of the loss that all had had. 

It’s time to talk,

To compare notes and see that no one is alone.

The story was the same

All that is needed is a different name.

We realized who was true

To the initial bonds.

It’s time to talk, to compare notes 

And rebuild all that was lost. 

It’s time to talk ….. It’s time to have ….

The conversation!
