Dear Editor, As a Christian pastor, I've grown increasingly concerned about the leadership of President Trump. July 4 he stated there were airports during the American Revolution. The ICE raids appear to be an orchestrated attempt to strike fear into people of color. His telling certain Congresswomen on July 14 to go back to their countries is misogynistic. It's vital that we are honest with ourselves- every single one us (pro- and anti-Trump) know EXACTLY what his "go back" statement means and the prejudice behind it. Not only am I pastorally concerned about our President, I'm concerned about anyone, especially public figures, who still support him. We are long past the point in which any of his behavior is to be admired, deemed acceptable, American, or reflective of Christ's teachings.
Sincerely, Rev. George Miller

I applaud the heads of the Christian churches both in our community and across our lands who are finally "waking up" to the kind of person our president really is and having the clarity to speak out about it regardless of their political following to their congregations and communities. Larger Countries then Us from the past have fallen and no longer exist from the likes of such men who think themselves kings with absolute power over what ever they so choose. From the 60s till today he has never waivered in the absolute monstrosity of a person he is and has been in so many evil forms of treachery and lawlessness. Leadership comes in many forms and if the best of us leaders do not speak up to the immoral, elitist, self centered and self serving persons who have been put into positions of power and have used absolute misuse of such powers then we are not a part of the solution against those who follow such ways as does our current president as to put our democracy, equality and freedoms in jeopardy but are also a equal part of the problem that he has purposely created and has planned to create to return hate and separation and violence to a land that has worked so hard over the past 100 years to get past such drudgery and destruction of every day human beings that happen to not be a white male but never the less are pursuing our American dreams.
Thank you, Mama Dread, for your response and letter to the editor. You inspire me and all of our tribe.
