for the love of God!!

For the love of God…and oh yeah, country…In January of 1963, following his election as Governor of Alabama, George Wallace famously stated in his inaugural address: "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”…On June 11, 1963, when black students Vivian Malone and James A. Hood showed up at the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa to attend class; in what historians often refer to as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door," the governor literally stood in the doorway as federal authorities tried to allow the students to enter. (US News). Governor Wallace invoked a whole bunch of passages from a Bible bent on racism to justify his own human frailties. Continuing the hate of that that Good Book the Gov. found abridged excerpts from some mangled US Constitution, in which the Governor swore the intent of the Founding Fathers was to keep America white and Christian. God and Washington both were surely in agreement with this bigot.

Last week, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore wrote in a letter to Gov. Robert Bentley that he planned to oppose a federal judge’s recent ruling that the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. He referred to the decision as “judicial tyranny” and said that any Alabama judges who obey the federal court ruling and allow marriage licenses to be issued would be in “defiance of the laws and Constitution of Alabama.” (Huff Post Gay Voices). Supreme Court Justice Moore is sure his religious freedom trumps the Constitution, and that God knows more then any human judge and of course Alabama need not act like a lap dog toward the laws of the land as it relates to homosexuals. America may no longer be a whites only conclave but it is sure tootin’ a heterosexual homeland. Protecting his version of a homophobic religion, Justice Moore won’t let any law Jesus wouldn’t like find fruition.

For the love of God…and oh yeah, country those who want to act as Gods mercenaries are at the ready to declare war on the rights of others they feel are so wrong. Laws not loved are inspired by men and must be removed so God’s laws take precedent. These same Christian Crusaders protest the rise of an imagined Shira Law, but have no problem ever when it is a form of Evangelical Christian tyranny that begs to be boss. History will always be repeated when the facts of the past are intentionally ignored. Truth will never find its footing if falsehoods and false prophets proliferate the talking points with fear and loathing. And of course was long as we preface our actions with for the love of God…and of course country, we are nothing but angels!
