The Continuing Crucifixion of Liberty in the USA

The Crucifixion of Liberty, created by Max T. Furr on 7/18/2024

I am reminded of a quote from George Orwell’s classic novel, Animal Farm: “All Animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

As it turns out, Animal Farm may be the perfect allegory for the USA if the Trump-Vance team assumes the “throne” in November. Non-Christian Americans may be facing the darkest future of all—the return of inforced anti-blasphemy laws across the nation.

According to an editorial today in The Guardian by Sidney Blumenthal, “Earlier this month, the Republican National Committee endorsed the party platform, a document that contained a plank pledging to create a new federal agency to defend Christian nationalism: ‘To protect Religious Liberty, Republicans support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting Anti-Christian Bias that will investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.’”

When far-right Christians speak of religious freedom, they do not mean religious freedom for all, because they’ve never accepted the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of conscience for every citizen in matters of religion. They want Christian dominance in American society, i.e., a theocracy.

Therefore, the only way to prevent such an occurrence is for either a Democratic President to win in November or for congressional Democrats to gain a supermajority in Congress.

ALERT! Conservative mass email and Fox “News” deception

I just received this email this morning sporting the title, “Instant Poll,” and the brief detail says, “Obama Just announced . . .”

Opening the email I found that it is a deception from a conservative source that slyly, in very large, bold print, says to vote to stop “Stop Citizen’s United.”

A lot of folks will go straight from the large print and vote on the large voting buttons. But the title is a deception. The question on the poll, in smaller non-bold print, however, has nothing to do with Citizen’s United. Just over the Vote Button is the question: “Do you support or oppose Obama’s proposal to make voting mandatory for American Citizens.”

Obama never made any such proposal.

This is why I became a progressive and why I left the Republican Party years ago. While some (most?) liberal politicians will lie now and then, they do not engage in massive email deceptions (propaganda) and they do not have a robust propaganda network such as Fox “News,” et al, which is continuing to spread this lie. This is the sort of dishonorable action that the misinformed, low information, often fundamentalist voter supports.
