My Churches response to the State of the Union

[William769]

Statement By The Rev. Nancy L. Wilson
Office of the Moderator
Metropolitan Community Churches

To Members and Friends in the United States

On The State of the Union Address
by the President of the United States

For far too many Americans, the President's declaration that, "The state of our union is strong," is far removed from their everyday experience.

The reality is this: So long as millions of our citizens live beneath the poverty level and are denied access to quality healthcare, out union is not strong. So long as the U.S.' reputation in the world deteriorates and so long as our nation remains divided by a war that is not supported by a majority of people in either country -- a war that continues to claim a horrifying number of lives -- our union is not strong. And so long as civil liberties are endangered at unprecedented levels, our union is not strong.

Coretta Scott King was right, when in echoing the words of her late husband she said, "We are all tied together in a single garment of destiny." So long as any people are left behind, our nation's garment is frayed and in need of mending -- and our union is not strong.

And regrettably, the U.S. President's State of the Union Address once again failed to acknowledge the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons in the United States.

5. I hate to ask, but where's the librul press or the MSM?

You would think that someone out there would have done a line by line review of the crock of shit that was the SOTU, pointing out every lie, contradiction, etc. Ain't happening, as far as I can see. This regime has taken the teflon coating of the Reagan administration and made it absolutely impregnable. They just keep lying, and no one, absolutely no one, is outraged.
