Nothing but cowards

It appears to me that the Republicans behave like cowards. A coward is one who fears honesty, avoids strong people, takes advantage of people of unequal status, manipulates people with words, never apologizes for their wrongs, and blames others for everything.

An African proverb says, “Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale will always glorify the hunter.” The Republicans are the hunter, stalking women and Black and brown people.

All history is important and should represent the facts. The scripture in Isaiah tells us to remember your history, your long and rich history. We know that “The Great Exodus” is in scripture but was eliminated by the Pharaoh from his records.

It seems The 1619 Project and critical race theory are being hidden and eliminated from American history. The concerted cowardly efforts to hide truth regarding the inhumane atrocities inflicted upon enslaved people perpetrated through generational tyranny continues. The beatings, lynchings and attacks against Black people to prevent them from voting is documented. The literacy test and poll tax were specifically designed to prevent them from voting. Today, new laws were enacted to deny water and food while waiting to vote, including shortening voting days.

But truth is like oil; no matter how much water you pour on it, it always floats. These Republicans create their own laws while engaging in selective persecution of others. Punishing pregnant females while their own dastardly deeds are hidden. Creating sinister laws to intimidate people.

Cowardly Republicans are financed by wealthy cowards who prove their avarice is the root of evil. Cowardice does not prolong life, and money is not medicine for death. We fear God, not cowards.
