“[W]e must instantly begin all over again, and begin at the other end. I begin with a little girl’s hair. That I know is a good thing at any rate. Whatever else is evil, the pride of a good mother in the beauty of her daughter is good. It is one of those adamantine tendernesses which are the touchstones of every age and race. If other things are against it, other things must go down. If landlords and laws and sciences are against it, landlords and laws and sciences must go down. With the red hair of one she-urchin in the gutter I will set fire to all modern civilization. Because a girl should have long hair, she should have clean hair; because she should have clean hair, she should not have an unclean home: because she should not have an unclean home, she should have a free and leisured mother; because she should have a free mother, she should not have an usurious landlord; because there should not be an usurious landlord, there should be a redistribution of property; because there should be a redistribution of property, there shall be a revolution. That little urchin with the gold-red hair, whom I have just watched toddling past my house, she shall not be lopped and lamed and altered; her hair shall not be cut short like a convict’s; no, all the kingdoms of the earth shall be hacked about and mutilated to suit her. She is the human and sacred image; all around her the social fabric shall sway and split and fall; the pillars of society shall be shaken, and the roofs of ages come rushing down, and not one hair of her head shall be harmed.” – G.K. Chesterton, What’s Wrong with the World
May God the Almighty Father smash this Administration to atoms.

The foundation of MAGA is the demonization of immigrants. MAGA attributes everything wrong, such as crime, unemployment, homelessness, etc. to immigrants. This is nonsense. Baltimore, my hometown, has hundreds of homicides every year. Very few are committed by immigrants. The vast majority are perpetrated by native born Americans. Regarding unemployment, the jobs immigrants fill, such as agriculture and meatpacking, are jobs that Americans don’t want because they are nasty. The immigrants keep us fed.
Perhaps legally, the Administration can make a case for deportations, but detained immigrants should be treated humanely. They should not be beaten up, forced to sleep on concrete floors, shipped to countries where they have never lived.
I have heard MAGA people say that illegal immigrants have no rights, thus the rough treatment.
Well, they are human beings and treating them like animals is hardly “Christian.” Incredibly, some so called Christians seem to take pride in the rough, inhumane treatment of immigrants. And if you disagree with them, they accuse you of being a lousy Christian. Incredible.
Amen, amen, amn
