"‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
This is the solution. The solution is hard to follow, very hard to follow. For service members and veterans, it is easier to follow then their fellow citizens because veterans have seen war. I for one have seen murder and death, and I will tell you all that it is not a pretty sight. Every port that I visited while I was in the Navy and in every village I was at in the Army, I couldn't wait to be around an American. And it did not matter of what origin they were, just that they were a fellow country person- an American.
Lincoln abolished s***ery in 1865, and Dr. Martin Luther King, a minister of Jesus Christ, helped push the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Do you remember what he preached about? His sermon, now listed as his "I Dream" speech was a sermon appealing to all Christians. For we, Christians are part of the body of Christ. The Body of Christ has no color for it burns with the love of Christ. Therefore there is no color, you are either human or you are not! Since the Body of Christ, is the members of Christ's family, so too are we members of the family of America! We stand for freedom, but freedom cannot be secured without the simple principle of "Love Thy Neighbor"
Yes we stand in solidarity against the bad apples of the police department, because these bad apples deny the golden rule, and it is our right and duty to hold their leaders responsible for the actions of their officers. So we convict the murdering officer of the crime of murder, that does not solve the problem. But "Love thy Neighbor" does.
We need to do the following:
To feed the hungry.
To give water to the thirsty.
To clothe the naked.
To shelter the homeless.
To visit the sick.
To visit the imprisoned, or ransom the captive.
To bury the dead.
But this is not enough. For if these deeds are not done for "Love thy Neighbor" then you are just enslaving the victims. And the wicked preys on the victims to be ens***ed. So to abolish all forms of s***ery and r****m we must also do the following:
To instruct the ignorant.
To counsel the doubtful.
To admonish the sinners.
To bear patiently those who wrong us.
To forgive offenses.
To comfort the afflicted.
To pray for the living and the dead.
Only then can we get our country back. I draw a similarity between Donald Trump and G****e F***d because their accusers did not follow the simple golden rule of "Love Thy Neighbor"
Do you not know that the Samaritan, in a parable of Jesus, in Luke's Gospel, was regarded as a crack head, or a druggie, or a low income person, or even a man from the hood? Do you not know that this person in mercy, helped the victim of the robbery? Where was G****e F***d's Samaritan? Where was the Chief of Police's good Samaritan, when he was shot and k**led defending a pawn shop in St. Louis?
We need more good Samaritans in this country, why do we not have them? why are they so rare? because of fear. The same fear that k**led the suspect this past weekend, is the same fear why people do not follow "Love Thy Neighbor" lesson, that is written in Luke.
To stop all these isms, whether it be r****m, sexism, or any other -ism, we as a country must practice and understand the rule, "Love Thy Neighbor."
If you are a police officer, for example, and you come upon a hard situation to control, as long as you keep in your mind to "Love thy neighbor" then these needless deaths will not occur. Think that the person you are having problems with, is your mother or father, sister or brother, son or daughter, and handle the situation accordingly.
But if you are the citizen, and you come upon a hard situation and you witness the police being cruel to a suspect, then it is your duty to stop the police officer and save lives. However, it is not your duty to join into combat with the officer. If the suspect is under control then do not interfere. If the police have the situation under control do not interfere. But if the police begin to commit crimes against the accused it is your duty to stop the police.
But Ranger, how do you stop the police?
First you call more officers to the scene, call 911. If I had witnessed the 8 minutes of torture that was happening to G****e F***d, I would have called other officers to the scene. Second, if and only if it is a life threatening situation and you have the ability to intervene, then intervene. It is better to spend a night in jail, then for a precious American life be taken.
Next hold the police chief, the mayor, city council all responsible for the incident. It is through their leadership that these situations occur. And if necessary remove them from office. The police are just the foot soldiers. When you fire one another one takes their place. Therefore, go after those responsible for the police, the Chief and the Mayor. Remove the Sheriff, Mayor, or police Chief or all three if necessary. Remember one American life is worth more than money can buy, to my American family. So it is better for the Mayor, Sheriff, or police chief to lose their job, than one of my brothers or sisters, sons or daughters, fathers or mothers, to end up in a pine box, buried for no apparent reason.
Who is my neighbor? If you are American by birth or naturalization, you are my neighbor. It doesn't matter if you are broke and poor or if you are a billionaire , you are my neighbor. And thus if you are my neighbor then you are an American and the life of an American, whether he be black or white, brown or yellow, is part of my family. When they mourn, I mourn. I am mourning for G****e F***d, like I mourned for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting, like I mourned for the victims of 911. I mourn with them. I am tired of mourning.
This nonsense is based in fear. The way to defeat fear is through action. And the action that must be taken is that of love. Love for my American family. Dr. King did not just speak about freedom for B***k A******ns, but he spoke for the freedom of all.
Listen the principle is simple, if there is a master and a s***e, the master is ens***ed by the s***e, as well as the s***e being ens***ed by the master. However, if the s***e is set free, then the master and s***e are free. For the master no longer has to protect and support the s***e, and the s***e no longer has to be supported and protected. Therefore freedom is a win win situation. As long as that freedom follows the golden rule.
Then if the master gets in trouble the s***e will come to help him. And if the s***e gets in trouble, the master will come and help the s***e. Therefore, the master and s***e by the nature of the golden rule, are no longer master/s***e but friends. That friendship is more powerful and creates what we have lost here in America, a bond that lasts throughout time, a bond in mutual love for one another. Thus, we the people do not need a law, for that law is sowed into our hearts. We must act upon the works of mercy and love one another as Christ has loved us.
Changing the law does not work. For we changed the law in 1865. Apparently it did not work, so we changed it again in 1964. Apparently that did not work. But what does work is not changing the law, but changing the hearts and minds of our brothers and sisters. Teaching the Young what we have learned from 1964 until now.
No answer will be good enough for the wicked. But Loving one another is good enough for the righteous. If we love one another, then we will not let our brother rob the liqueur store. We would not let that police officer shoot our brother robbing the liqueur store. We would arrest our brother if he did rob the liqueur store and bring him to court.
What justice is there for a family who lost a love one? Money? there is not enough money in the entire universe that could replace one American person. The answer is not vigilante justice. Oh yeah that would look good, a black man lynched by the mob, because someone was murdered, and on their tombstone it reads, "Hung by mistake". Yeah, no vigilante justice. The Media is the vigilantes of today. The way they report the news and spin it for their own agenda.
If firing the mayor, sheriff, police chief, does not work take it to the governor's mansion. Get them all involved. They were entrusted by the American people to do a job, such that we are secured in freedom, when they fail to do that job, we are ens***ed by their sins. The Democrats are enslaving those that follow them, that is why so many people across the nation are leaving the democrat party. This started with Hillary Clinton. But there are those of us that are so hard headed that they cannot see the forest for the trees, let alone the leaves.
Take up arms against the government, what is that? that is foolish. We have a man at the Top fighting for us, that is our president. Like him or h**e him, one fact remains, he is wrestling with the hard issues to change our lives for the better. We have been in this fight forever, clawing our way to effect change that will be long lasting, fair and secure. So where is the problem?
Everyone in between. The power in the United States begins with the citizen, then it is realized at the local level which feeds the state level and eventually the federal government. Governors need to start, "Love thy Neighbor" movements in their states. True r****m is dead. But the copycats of r****m is alive and well, and we must destroy it. It must come like a mighty wave from the sea. It can only come, if Americans begin to remember the principle of "Love Thy Neighbor"
Since God is Love, and Love is God. And since Love heals all. Then why doesn't the police exercise this basic rule of humanity? If ever there was a need of a Constitutional Amendment, then this should be it, "Love Thy Neighbor" law. Which states, if you have an opportunity to save the life of your fellow country person, then you have a duty to act. Through the community of love, is the only way we can destroy the fear and h**e that has plagued us and monopolized us for three centuries.
In our checks and balances system we need "Love thy Neighbor" to be front and center. The people should be able to check the police, like the police can check the people. Only then will peace be restored. And that peace will be a lasting peace if it restored by the principle of loving thy neighbor.
I have repeated "Love Thy Neighbor" many times in this post because it seems to me, that Americans forgot their grass roots. It was loving thy neighbor that allowed us to win our independence against Great Britain. It was the same principle, that made us win the Mexican War. It was that same principle that led to the Civil War, which made us win the battle over s***ery and it was abolished. It was that same principle that made us win World War I, and World War II. And with in that same spirit brought forth the "I dream" speech of 1963.
So if you want to end r****m once and for all, practice "Love Thy Neighbor"
