Enough is Enough: America is Suffering from Lack of Love
Jeanie Embry During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities targeted other groups, besides the Jews, because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). These other groups were also persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them were even Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals. Sound familiar?!? There are dozens of these 'private prison concentration camps' set up in the Southwest US, ie T. Hutto facility, in Texas. The AZ immigration law was written by private prison corps and we must keep in mind that Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona colluded with these people to draft that legislation. Our own Senate President David Williams is pushing for a "Papers, Please" Law for KY! Let's hope our KY Legislators will keep these facts in mind before they decide to jump on board with enacting an AZ-like immigration law. Regardless of our political ideologies we should be mindful that hurtful words do have unintended consequences and we have a personal responsiblity to let our lights shine. Blessed are the peaceakers; it's time to end the hateful rhetoric and instead, find empathy and tolerance for our brothers and sisters in Christ and seek peaceful resolutions to our differences rather than violent ones.
