Right < Righteousness

If the acceptance of your peers affects the way you follow Christ then you are not a Christian, you just do what you're told.  

I have a ultra-progressive cousin who is as liberal as Clarence Thomas is conservative.  When I asked her what she did for Thanksgiving, she simply replied "I don't celebrate the genocide of indigenous people."  I simply replied "Great, neither do I.  So what did you do for Thanksgiving?"  America is an awesome Country because it is full of people that will use any excuse to get together, eat, and enjoy each other, not matter the origin of the celebration.  There is a good chance that more Tacos and Coronas are consumed in the U.S. on Cinco De Mayo than Mexico.  It's perfectly fine if non-Mexicans get together to party on the 5th of May; it's perfectly fine if non-Christians get together to party on Christmas.  

I have been torn on Christianity ever since I was kicked out of a private Christian school in second grade.  Of course, I was too young to know it was because of behavioral issues but at the time my seven year old brain thought it was because Jesus didn't want me there.  Either way, my grades improved, I made friends, and thrived once I was enrolled in public school.  I am not blaming or giving Christianity credit for that major event in my life, I am just glad that it happened.  It has not stopped me from celebrating Christmas and enjoying the heightened level of humanitarianism of the Holiday season.  

A good Christian realizes that they are not perfect (Romans 3:23).  A great Christian is one who strives to be Christ-like.  I am not an expert on Christ, but I am comfortable in confirming that Christ doesn't care who you vote for...but Christ might be curious as to why.  We live in a society where it is more important to be in control than it is to be loved.  About 95% of my posts on Karma Reaper's Harvest are complaints about hypocrisy and people not practicing what they preach.  

Besides voting, is there a way the Conservatives could find a way to "own the libs" in a Christ-like manner?  Probably not.  Some people made the decision to ship immigrants to the Vice-President's front yard on Christmas Eve to make a point.  Some people made the decision to provide shelter and food to them because it was the right thing to do.  Which group of people is more Christ-like?  The people sending the immigrants or the people taking care of them?

Follow your heart, not your clique.  If there is a heaven, I highly doubt there is an isle separating the Donkeys from the Elephants up there let alone buses where you can ship away folks that you don't think belong there.

Random Mind Dumplings 35

I don't want to have a Chaos Thoughts post based solely on Georgia's most popular runner-up for Senate but he will be mentioned quite a few times in the 34th edition of Random Mind Dumplings.

I will not call them Sell-Outs or House Negros.  They are just Black Men that know what to do to get White Bigots to like them.  A White Bigot will tolerate a Black Man as long as he doesn't knock up his daughter or complain about racism.

Don't you ever sit back and wonder why people still give a damn about what comes out of Kanye's mouth?  He is thirsty for attention and knows that this country is full of folks willing to give it to him if he remains controversial.  

The majority of people complaining about "grooming" the next generation are Groomers themselves.  Homosexuals, Transsexuals, and Drag Queens are not shooting up high schools and night clubs. 

For all of the diplomatic experts that are pissed that Brittney Griner was released instead of Paul Whelan, just keep in mind that the deal was either the US gets Griner or the US gets nothing at all.  Don't pretend as if Biden had a choice between a WNBA Star caught with cannabis oil over a dishonorably discharged Marine accused of espionage.   

Sometimes you will need more than an "R" next to your name to get gullible Republicans in Georgia to vote for you.  That is why Kemp (R) beat Abrams (D) for Governor but Walker (R) lost to Warnock (D) for Senate.  Kemp is a Republican, Walker just does what Republicans tell him to do. 

The Royal Family should be thought of as just Mascots for England.  I refuse to believe in the archaic belief that they were ordained by God to rule a country.  Don't they have just as many imperfections as a normal family that works for a living?

Would we be just like Iran if the folks whining over Kaepernick's protest actually ran the Country and wrote the laws?  Of course!  There are American citizens out there that think that "Traitors" knelt during the National Anthem and that "Patriots" stormed the capitol during the certification of an election.  The fact that their vote counts just as much as mine worries me.

I am relieved at the result of the Georgia Senate run-off election but I am far from celebrating it.  The fact that the race was as close as it was also worries me.  Over 1.7 million residents of the Peach State waited in line to elect a Trump selected "yes-man" to represent them.

Perhaps Bill Clinton should have said he "did not know" Monica Lewinski.  Would the GOP still have impeached him?  Maybe I'm biased...but I'd rather get caught getting a BJ than get caught having dinner with folks that idolize Nazis.

I only posted the above cartoon because I think it's funny that the Vampire is drinking a Bloody Mary.  I snatch a lot from the claytoonz.com website to put on this page.  Clay Jones has a great sense of humor and I appreciate his research and wit.
