I wonder where Eric Holder is these days.

The BLM/Hands Up Don't Shoot movement was created to divide not to unite.

Unitarian Universalists - Advancing justice and human rights - "UUSC advances human rights through grassroots collaboration. In more than a dozen countries throughout the world, UUSC fosters social justice and works toward a world free from oppression. UUSC's innovative approaches and measurable impact - in promoting economic justice, bolstering environmental justice, and protecting rights at risk - are grounded in the belief that all people have inherent power, dignity, and rights."

You don’t compromise or negotiate with terrorists and don’t expect them to respect you if you bow to their demands. All they will do is see it as weakness because they are evil. Some people never learn. If they studied their bible they would develop discernment and wisdom and understand this.

Oh good grief Pastor, by singling out “Black Lives Matter” from “All Lives Matter”. You are contributing to the racial divide, and as clergy that is a shame.

How does a “black lives matter” sign promote racial harmony? How about an “all lives matter” sign?

Just now noticed it was one of those Unitarian (gay) churches. I think I might understand why they might not be taken as seriously by #BLM as to their sincerity.

Johnson said the solution to break the stereotype of law enforcement is complex, but one of the first steps is facilitating open communication between law enforcement and the community.

There are only two possible solutions for this type of problem;

1. Teach your children to stop running around like hoodlums, marry their mothers, and stay home with them,

OR

2. The police totally evacuate your communities and let you police yourselves.

Having said that, there used to be black communities, as well as white, who could do a very good job of policing themselves. Now, not so much.

Ah yes, the lefties doing their white guilt mea culpa and wondering why others don’t buy it.

I hardly call overwriting BLM with ALL constitutes ‘vandalism’ but then I don’t have the PC red that the UUs do

David Horowitz, June 2000: “.......New Left progressives-including Hillary Clinton and her comrade, Acting Deputy Attorney General Bill Lann Lee-were involved in supporting, or protecting or making excuses for violent anti-American radicals abroad like the Vietcong and anti-American criminals at home like the Black Panthers. We did this then-just as progressives still do now-in the name of “social justice” and a dialectical world-view that made this deception appear ethical and the fantasy seem possible.

As a student of the left, Jamie Glazov, has observed in an article about the middle-class defenders of recently captured Seventies terrorist Kathy Soliah: “if you can successfully camouflage your own pathology and hatred with a concern for the ‘poor’ and the ‘downtrodden,’ then there will always be a ‘progressive’ milieu to support and defend you.” Huey Newton, George Jackson, Bernadine Dohrn, Sylvia Baraldini, Rubin Carter, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Rigoberta Menchu and innumerable others have all discovered this principle in the course of their criminal careers.

There is a superficial sense, of course, in which we were civil rights and peace activists-and that is certainly the way I would have described myself at the time, particularly if I were speaking to a non-left audience. It is certainly the way Mrs. Clinton and my former comrades in the left refer to themselves and their pasts in similar contexts today.

But they are lying. (And when they defend racial preferences now-a principle they denounced as “racist” then-even they must know it)...........

And that is why they hate conservatives. They hate you because you are killers of their dream. Because you are defenders of a Constitution that thwarts their cause. They hate you because your “reactionary” commitment to individual rights, to a single standard and to a neutral and limited state obstructs their progressive designs. They hate you because you are believers in property and its rights as the cornerstones of prosperity and human freedom; because you do not see the market economy as a mere instrument for acquiring personal wealth and political war chests, to be overcome in the end by bureaucratic schemes.

Conservatives who think progressives are misinformed idealists will forever be blind-sided by the malice of the left-by the cynicism of those who pride themselves on principle, by the viciousness of those who champion sensitivity, by the intolerance of those who call themselves liberal, and by the ruthless disregard for the well-being of the downtrodden by those who preen themselves as social saints.

Conservatives are caught by surprise because they see progressives as merely misguided, when in fact they are fundamentally misdirected. They are the messianists of a religious faith. But it is a false faith and a self-serving religion. Since the redeemed future that justifies their existence and rationalizes their hypocrisy can never be realized, what really motivates progressives is a modern idolatry: their limitless passion for the continuance of Them.”

“Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion characterized by a “free and responsible search for truth and meaning”.

Unitarian Universalists do not share a creed but are unified by their shared search for spiritual growth. As such, the Unitarian Universalist Church (UU) includes many agnostics, theists, and atheists among its membership.

The roots of UU are in liberal Christianity, specifically Unitarianism and Universalism.

Unitarian Universalists state that from these traditions comes a deep regard for intellectual freedom and inclusive love, so that congregations and members seek inspiration and derive insight from all major world religions.”..

Designated a Christian cult. Highly liberal politics.

“.....For these self-appointed social redeemers, the goal-”social justice”-is not about rectifying particular injustices, which would be practical and modest, and therefore conservative. Their crusade is about rectifying injustice in the very order of things.

“Social Justice” for them is about a world reborn, a world in which prejudice and violence are absent, in which everyone is equal and equally advantaged and without fundamentally conflicting desires.

It is a world that could only come into being through a re-structuring of human nature and of society itself.......”

“...The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause - his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action - whether civil rights or women’s rights - is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power. Battles over rights and other issues, according to Alinsky, should never be seen as more than occasions to advance the real agenda, which is the accumulation of power and resources in radical hands. Power is the all-consuming goal of Alinsky’s politics..” - David Horowitz

I suspect they wouldn’t object to being called a cult, but many of them would probably object to being called Christian. “That’s too exclusive!”

Did the church put it to a vote? Was there any discussion as the pure racist slogan blm? Did members object by saying “all lives matter” but were derided by members of their own community? I have no sympathy for this “church”.
