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. 🙄

Also if the two of you could do the 15 minutes that would be helpful. :popcorn:

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! ::)

Then an ICE agent jumped out from behind a pew...

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

I'll take "Drug addled delusions of an aging hippie" for $500 Alex.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

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

old irrelevant man trying to be relevant over a matter that doesn't involve him

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:

That mother****er didn't do any of that shit.

Dem Strategist Tells CNN GOP Are the Same People Who Opened Fire Hydrants on Protesters in the ‘60s
CNN was good enough to give a platform to Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky, who wanted to finish her thought, but that mean old Scott Jennings kept interrupting. We're curious where her train of thought was going after she told Jennings that today's Republicans are the same people who defended opening fire hydrants in the '60s on the Selma bridge. Jennings just couldn't let that go.

@EricLDaugh
🚨 WOW. Scott Jennings catches liberal red-handed! 🤣
“The GOP, these are the same people who defended opening fire hoses on protestors in the 60s!”
SCOTT: “-Those were Democrats! Those were Democrats. But thank you for reminding everyone Democrats were against civil rights!” 😭😭
“I’d like to personally thank you for reminding everyone that it was Democrats in Alabama who opposed civil rights in 1965 & turned fire hoses against the brave marchers in Selma.“
But the parties magically switched, remember? Sure, Democrats were the party of the Confederacy and the KKK, but now it's the Republicans who are the Klan members.

I've been thinking about it, and DU really needs to have a real life get together where they can all scream and shake their fists at the sky. Oh, and they need to video and share on the internet.
