We have made a decision

We have made a decision

We are in our 80's.

I'm in decent shape, work out 3-5 days a week, do all the driving and errands, though I have spinal stenosis, walk with a cane. and my hips hurt if I walk more than a block.

My wife of almost 60 years (60 years at the end of July) is not as fortunate -- Type II insulin-dependent diabetic, spinal stenosis, knee replacement, balance problems (two falls in past three years requiring surgery to correct), digestive problems, heart problems, walks with a walker.

We both understand that one or both of us could die in the next 15 minutes or we may make it another 15 years.

As college students in Alabama in the 1960's, we both marched in Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham. We were knocked down by Bull Connor's firehoses and bitten by his dogs. We have marched and marched and demonstrated and volunteered for Habitat, in food banks, in homeless shelters, and you name it.

We recently moved from our custom-designed and custom-built home in rural Virginia into a small Northern Virginia apartment and are in a new United Methodist Church. During the morning prayer, the minister starts the prayer then members of the congregation can call out the name of a person for whom they want prayers and the congregation responds "Hear our prayers." Today I called out as loudly as I could "The People of Minnesota" and our congregation roared "Hear our prayers!!!" -- and after the service, damn near 3/4 of the congregation came up to me -- some with tears in their eyes -- thanking me.

Our decision is simple: We will NOT COMPLY -- we will not comply and we will let the world know it -- vocally, publicly, at every chance we get .

Our message to ICE is simple: Shoot if you must these old grey heads.

WE ARE NOT HEROES -- NOT AT ALL. But we have to ask ourselves: WTF WOULD JESUS DO?????

Holy shit. Get over yourself. Your virtue signaling is amazing.  Nobody cares. 🙄

Half of that post was a verbose virtue-signal. ::) Then the grand revelation, the congregation of a UMC church voiced disagreement with things being done over a thousand miles away. ::) How bold! ::)

When I read "We have made a decision", I was really hoping they were leaving the country! 

Maybe next time....

They always like to think of Jesus as a peace-nik, kumbayah socialist. I guess they missed the part where He braided a whip and went on a house cleaning with it.

Well, He might have called AverageOldGuy and DU-folk a bunch of snakes. Or maybe "blind guides". I don't think He would use F-bombs, though.

Jesus advice might be for AverageOldGuy to get the plank out of his own eye before worrying about speck he believes are in others' eyes.

None of the DUmmies gave a darn when ICE was deporting millions of illegals under Obama or Biden.

What does WE WILL NOT COMPLY mean? Does the DUmie have some ICE detainers hidden in a closet somewhere?

Yeah, the left-tards have gone into the revisionist history playbook as most claim that all these Southern Democrats such as Bull Connor and George Wallace were actually Republicans. :mental:
