MAGA Revised

Make America Good Again!
The Creator of the Universe who set earth in orbit around the sun, who set the moon in orbit around the earth. . . The Creator who changes deep darkness into morning, who darkens day into night. . . who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth. The Lord is His name. It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, so that destruction comes upon their fortress. The power-mongers and wealth-cultivators hate those who reprove their depraved authority, corrupt governance which they absconded from the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan. They hate those who reprove the proud man in the media, and they abhor him who speaks with integrity. Therefore because you impose heavy demands on the poor by withdrawing their benefits and appropriating resources to the privileged mavens who are already fat and happy, you are due for the judgement of the Lord! You who distress the righteous the righteous and accept bribes, and turn aside the poor in the dispersion, repent! Sad but true. . .at such a time as this, the prudent person keeps silent. Br'er rabbit he lay low, while br'er fox was trying to steal the vines. Seek good and not evil, that everyone might live. Hate graft and degeneracy of public grace. Hate evil; love what is good. Establish Justice in the governance of the people! Let Justice roll down like a waterfall, and righteousness as a mighty stream!
Blessed are the poor in spirit; Blessed are the gentle people, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what is right, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are those who are pure in their intentions, for they shall see God. Blessed are peacemakers, for they shall be called sons and daughters of God. Every person who is angry with his fellow-citizens is guilty of offense; whoever calls others "good for nothing" is guilty of offense. And whoever calls somebody else a fool can go to hell. Those people who are blessed by the Lord of the Universe are those who give food to hungry people, give drink to thirsty people, and who invite strangers and aliens into their domains. Blessed are those people who make provision for those who cannot afford clothes, who care for and visit sick people , who provide housing for poor people.
To the extent that any person does not provide help, shelter, food, and care for fellow-citizens who are in need. . . to the extent that that insensitive, self-serving citizen does show mercy and generosity to the poor and the disabled. . . that self-serving person will be turned away in the final judgement of the Lord of Universe. And lastly, as Amos had told Andy, back in the day: "And I told him that!" But he was not listening cuz he had his maga'ears on, muffled earsthat tuned out the mercy and grace of the Lord who was crucified and then lived to tell about it. And if you believe that, I've got some real estate in heaven that we can share. Wake up and smell the roses, y'all. Mercy and grace is where it's at, not power and wealth. Glass half-Full
