In this divisive political climate even His background is up for debate but, generally, a great many people think of Jesus Christ as a broke-ass refugee who ran with the scum of the Earth and was eventually executed because of the threat of political insurrection.
The Biblical record tell us that Jesus and his family were forced to take REFUGE in a flight into Egypt rather than suffer the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod.
And whilst we don't want to dwell on theology, on this rainy Sunday all of this backstory brings us to the topic of sanctuary.
Here's a more recent part of KCMO campaign lore which was omitted by nearly every other Kansas City news outlet because it's a stance that holds very little favor even among hard-line Democratic Party supporters . . .
As part of his "racial justice" campaign platform, Mayoral Winner Quinton Lucas promised to work toward a KCMO Municipal ID Card that provides residents identification regardless of immigration status
And very much like Jesus, if Mayor-Elect Quinton Lucas keeps this promise he will be politically crucified by both friends an enemies alike . . .
A few quick reason why . . .
- Many young African-Americans are aligned with Prez Trump in his immigration crackdown efforts. They claim to have witnessed economic competition in their own communities wherein low-wage illegal immigrant workers take jobs that MIGHT have gone to the Black community. The economics of this thesis might not hold true but the meme is effective enough to work or at least give people an excuse not to work and, instead, complain on the Internets.
- Mainstream Democratic Party denizens know their side of the immigration debate issue is a loser. A wave of historic American populism has powered Prez Trump's rise to power and throughout history people generally dislike foreigners. Reality on the faith-life of the American electoate: A peaceful, prosperous and inspiring world without borders is a tougher sell than an imaginary wall.
- Kansas City Latino leaders picked Jolie Justus. Quinton Lucas attempted to cozy up to small-timers with little-to-no political influence or ability to garner votes but the fact is that from the KC Hispanic Chamber on down . . . Latino leaders were on the wrong side of the election and the new Mayor owes them VERY LITTLE.
Meanwhile . . .
Keeping the Municipal ID Card promise puts Quinton Lucas on the wrong side of the current Administration that still has a VERY GOOD chance at staying in power for another 4 years after 2020.
And so we ask, as a Sunday promise of massive deportations has been stalled for the moment, and the political fight over immigration now takes on a more immediate municipal interest:
SHOULD MAYOR-ELECT QUINTON LUCAS BREAK HIS MUNICIPAL ID CARD PROMISE THAT RISKS PUSHING KCMO TOWARD SANCTUARY CITY STATUS?!?!
Given that Mexico is 'So far from God, so close to the US' local Latinos are accustomed to disappointment - After all, there hasn't been Hispanic representation on the Council for about 30 years despite burgeoning LEGAL population numbers.
And so we're anxious to gauge reader opinion on this topic as the REAL border war that's only getting started now includes a major aspect of the new mayor's campaign platform.
Check the links:
Fox News: Trump delays planned ICE raids to see if Congress can solve border crisis
LA Times: Anger and confusion after Trump orders — then delays — immigration crackdown
Guardian: President Trump accused of using migrants as ‘political pawns’ after delaying raids
The Hill: President Trump - Border deal with Democrats 'probably won't happen'
Fox News: Officials: Agents in impending ICE raid shouldn't expect cooperation from local authorities
You decide . . .
The municipal ID card was a dumb idea for a lot of reasons but mostly because it's unfeasible. Which City Hall department will take us the work and the massive amounts of data required? Where will we find the money to create the new administration? There just isn't the will for this kind of undertaking. Quinton would be wise to move to fix more pressing problems.
ReplyDeleteStill better than Jolie, I was afraid she was going to start giving away discount cards for abortions.
DeleteQuinton was bluffing.
DeleteTrump was bluffing.
All politicians are full of it when it come to the immigration issue. The wall was a nice distraction but it was just hot air like most of what we hear from D.C. & 12th Oak these days.
Jesus was a violent Nationalist in the long and documented history of the Maccabees. He was, in the terminology of the Illegal, Immigrant Romans, a "Zealot".
ReplyDeleteHe wanted the illegal, immigrant Romans out of his country and he and his fellow Jews fought like tigers to make it happen until the fall of Masada.
Separating actual history from tradition and a 2,000 year old "Narrative" initiated for the convenience of the Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea we are frequently undone in out efforts to really understand the era of the "Christs".
The Quisling "Pharisees" aligned with Roman invaders manipulated and executed Zealots in search of short term power, money and sinecure, exactly like Democrats do today.
^^^^ Nice one!
ReplyDeleteChristians and conservatives should love children in cages over paper work errors. Just glad that all that Karma b.s. is also a lie.
Illegal, immigrant Romans??? Lulz. You mean the same empire that basically adopted Christianity as their own and took it global? This is all good stuff, T.
ReplyDeleteYou are aware that Romans did invade and occupy...oh, never mind. You're better off.
DeleteEXCELLENT comment by Chuck as always.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna use it to slap my Priest for his immigration permissiveness among other things.
Still.
ReplyDeleteBetter.
Than.
Jolie Justus.
Sorry.
THIS is good IF it is NOT to be another of the GIBSMES from the good ol' gubmint...a/k/a the U.S. taxpayers!!!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A FEE FOR THE PRIVILEGE, JUST LIKE DRIVERS HAVE TO PONY UP FOR THEIRS!!!!!! THESE cards could and should be intended as useful for our national security purposes. Those cards should ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE high resolution photos--front and profile, yep, MUG SHOT/PASSPORT style--on the cards with fraud foils embedded in those cards JUST LIKE DRIVERS LICENSES/STATE ISSUED IDs!!!!!! Also, full sets of fingerprints MUST BE submitted for FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL databases!!!!!! Added REQUIREMENTS are proof of: a certifiable current residential address, occupation, ALL criminal convictions, and applicant MUST RELINQUISH ALL IDs to any other nations and U.S. states!!!!!! Duh!!!!!! What purpose is there for additional ID.....oh, hmmmmmm, IF YO ASS IS ILLEGALLY ENTERING A COUNTRY, YEP, AIN'T NEVER, EVER THE TYPE TO TAKE ON ANY KINDA CHEATIN', HUH?
ReplyDeleteMeth is ugly.
ReplyDeleteChuck is wrong, as usual.
ReplyDeleteA segregationist had a law passed in 1927 making it a crime to cross our southern border without permission. Progressives are working to have this law repealed. When you call refugees criminals, well that's why this law was written, so you could be inhumane & claim the law is on your side, just as Chuck is trying to claim that Jesus will be on your side, too.
This is a human rights issue. These refugees ARE NOT criminals, they are PEOPLE; women & children. We actually need them, as we have always needed immigrants.
You can't claim to be good people who hate women & children, just because some ancient racist passed a law criminalizing refugees.
Pope Francis gave $500 million to help the refugees, so he disagrees with Chuck, too.
If you are good people, then you assist women & children fleeing the cartels, that we helped create with our demand for drugs. If you're not good people, you find an excuse to vilify women & children as criminals. It's that simple.
Yep, bLIErob, NEEDS the immigrants to flood on in. He takes like he cares about all of them. Who he really wants are the ones that soon, and any others, that eventually become TAXPAYERS, which he hopes are contributors to his monthly mooch money! Never mind what Uncle Sam and others gotta fork over to deal with pursuing the ones who are fraudsters, failures, and felons!
Delete^^"fakes" like he cares
DeleteThe Democrats will do anything to keep people on the plantation and Lucas will obey, march in step and propagate the narrative.
ReplyDeleteMiffed

Hey bLIEron, when you come into the country illegally that makes you a criminal, are you really that stupid? You need to have your head examined, I really think you have brain cancer or something.
ReplyDeleteTrump is forcing the dummocraps to get on board because if they don’t they look even more stupid than they already are. They are the reason this hasn’t been fixed by now.
ReplyDeleteBlacks hate Mexicans so the answer would be no.
ReplyDeleteThis immigration Debockel will get worse before it gets better the Democrats in Congress want cheep labor. And New Democrat voters or there will never be a Democrat elected President again who will conservative and Independent voters are tired of electing corrupt Politicians to office.
ReplyDeleteByron, where to start????
ReplyDelete"A segregationist had a law passed in 1927 making it a crime to cross our southern border without permission. Progressives are working to have this law repealed.

This confused amalgam of accusations, premises and misguided, emotional appeals to the wet by every rain, blown by every wind Progressives in the Silo, might work with those folks operating with 5 watt bulbs between their ears for brains, but, in the real time, objective reality that exists here in the USA, borders count, just like they do, ALL OVER THE WORLD, EVEN IN MEXICO.
Pope Francis, who lives behind really thick walls, with some of the most famous and badassed guards in the world, in a city, surrounded by walls can give all the fuckin Catholic money he wants to destroy this country with illegal immigration that middle class Americans will have to pay for, just like we foot the bill for you. He (The Pope) should stick to ecclesiastical matters and render unto fuckin Caesar what is Caesars and unto God, what ever he thinks belongs to God.
That said, his decisions, initiatives (He still hides the names of MANY child abuser priests.) and obvious interference in politics all over the world make him no better and no worse than the Nazi loving Pius the 12th.
Again, the fuckin pope, is, in NO WAY INFALLIBLE and the prima facie evidence off this is evident to anyone with a cursory interest in history. The pope can spend his money on whatever he wants, but that sure as hell doesn't mean that God is signing the fuckin checks.
The Rule Of Law, provides paved roads, groceries on the shelves, stoplights and trains that work and run on time and the host of benefits that we take for granted everyday, that slouches, parasites and Progressives seek to destroy.
Illegal immigrants ARE HERE ILLEGALLY. That sentence is not a condemnation or a vilification and is in no way pejorative, other than the objective reality of what it represents.
The pretense, on the left, that Pelosi, Schumer and all Progressives love illegal immigrants intrinsically, is a fuckin joke and everyone knows it. Democrat/Progressives have lost the middle class vote and seek to replace that vote with Government dependent illegals in order to acquire that same power, money and sinecure I mentioned before. The "narrative" of Altruism and "High Ground" sanctimony from worms on the left who drain the life's blood out of tax payers is disgusting, just like the fuckin pope.
"These refugees ARE NOT criminals, they are PEOPLE." News flash: all criminals are people; some people are criminals; therefore, an illegal immigrant can be and is a person and a criminal at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some virus loose in this city that is turning anyone in authority here into reincarnations of the Three Stooges.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAmerica is a nation of immigrants.
LEGAL immigrants! -- the others are criminals.
Gimme some sugar donuts so I can think clearly about this.
ReplyDeleteGimme some fudge packing so I can shit bricks over this.
DeleteKerrie Tyndall, Kansas City's director of economic development will crush any of Quinton's doo goody good good deeds.
ReplyDeleteIf he goes for sanctuary status for KCMO, then a recall is in order before he even takes office
ReplyDeleteWill Lucas where sLIE’s sombrero!
ReplyDeleteKerrie Tyndall's a tax and spend Dem 5:26
ReplyDeleteSo bolt down your wallet and whatever remaining assets you have left.
Chuck is right as usual.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats - they need more illegal voters. Liberals have shown over and over what they're trying to do - swamp us with illiterate, disease-ridden third world illegal voters. Ask a liberal how well "Open Borders" worked out for the original inhabitants of the "New World."
Their obsession with importing welfare recipients to outvote working people knows no bounds. "Are they nuts" http://www.scragged.com/art... shows that the left doesn't care about the costs of illegal immigration or about following our laws no matter how much damage illegals do. Their giving aid and comfort to our enemies amounts to treason.
https://www.youtube.com/wat... shows in 6 minutes that most liberal arguments in favor of unskilled immigration are lies. They don't want Mr. Trump to send the illegals to sanctuary states because they've already padded the voting lists with enough illegals to turn those states Blue. They want the illegals sent to Red states to turn them Blue over time.
Heaven has a big, beautiful wall, pearly gates, and strict vetting. Hell has open borders.
The massive wave of illegal immigrants robbed the black folks of jobs they would have had. The Democrats abandoned the black folks. They always betray them. The Republican establishment were eager co conspirators.
ReplyDeleteKC is already a sanctuary city. KCPD Chief Corwin directed his officers several years a go to ignore citizenship.
ReplyDeleteIsn't sQuint the dumb dumb that renamed Paseo all on his own? Who's gonna pay to change those SJW's street signs back to Paseo after the upcoming vote?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHey Quinton Lucas You had better think twice if your little brain can handle it!!!!!! Giving out ID cards to illegals is just that ILLEGAL!!!!! You do that and I will be all over you like flies on shit!!!! You dirty drunk Son Of A Bitch!
This country is on the verge of a civil war and it will take some black ass dumb shit like Quniton Lucas to start it!
^^^^Hahahaha!!! Just what are you gonna do about it Cletus???? Are you drunk??? Civil war?!?!? Americans are too fat, stupid and lazy to get off the couch, let alone fight a civil war!! Your proof of that! Jesus Christ...go back to INFOWARS and go sniff some more glue. You’re embarrassing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf that's the only promise he doesn't keep, I'd be happy. If he follows through on half of his promises than KC has a win. Campaign talk is one thing, doing the right thing is another thing altogether.
ReplyDeleteThis election was one where a lot of Conservatives held their nose and did the right thing. They picked correctly but still need to keep watch to make sure the new mayor doesn't think it was his fanbase who put him in office.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Sly James is still at the helm? He can still totally sink the ship before Lucas even puts on his choo choo cap.
ReplyDeleteGod help us all if Kerrie Tyndall replaces Schulte.
ReplyDelete7:51 till August, there’s tens of thousands of dollars to be spent on going away parties in his name, he won’t go away hungry when the tax payers pay for it. I can’t even imagine how much the bar bill will be.
ReplyDeleteTrump has told ICE to stop enforcing the law.
ReplyDelete2.5 years of broken promises is enough. I'm done with him.
Good luck with negotiating a great deal with dumocraps. Why is this time going to be different? Maybe they will help you in your reelection. I won't.
"Democrats - they need more illegal voters. Liberals have shown over and over what they're trying to do - swamp us with illiterate, disease-ridden third world illegal voters."
ReplyDeleteCould you provide evidence of "illegal voters?" Inquiring minds want to know. Trump himself said he liked poorly educated voters. They are his base.
A lot of people don't like this bargaining tactic from President Trump. Enforce the law, that's what people would really like. If the President was smart he would find a way to overall the temporary Visa program. That would offer some real progress.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletecould you provide evidence "Trump himself said he liked poorly educated voters. They are his base."
......didn't think so...typical Demosleazeball liar.
Sorry, not fake news.
ReplyDeleteI said it. Bigly.
"We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated"
Byron got his ass kicked again. Chuck rules you shit breath. Terry Murray. Not the hockey coach stalker pussy
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletehahaha...lying Demosleazball proved himself to be a ...liar!
his own quote lists FIVE groups ..count 'em ...FIVE.. incl "highly educated" among others
yet Demo said,I quote" Trump himself said poorly educated voters are his base"
Kansas City better damn not turn into a sanctuary city.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need in America are legal immigrants that want to work and become citizens. We don't need illegal immigrants, why? Because these are people that demonstrate just by being here that they are willing to break our laws because they want to. They do not respect the process to become a legal immigrant and have no intention of assimilating into our culture. These are the same people that will rape your pretty white daughters, steal cars, use the QT microwaves without spending a penny in a QT store. Bad People!
ReplyDeleteYes Donald Trump is correct! This is a crisis and a war we have to fight. Our democracy depends on this. The (now) 25 democrat candidates for president show their true colors by not supporting legal immigration and fighting illegal immigration.
Just like the signs posted at the doors of schools and public buildings, where most mass murders attacks happen, posting signs at the city limits that say "SANCTUARY CITY" is an open invitation to ICE to come and get them some of them illegals and ship them back south. Like shooting ducks on a pond.
ReplyDelete^^^What Jimmy said!
Delete11:55, 6:35 has your keys.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit 9:54, Misquoting another comment as a gotcha attempt? If you really can't read, comprehend, or watch a video - just STFU.
ReplyDeleteYou embarrassed yourself. Stay down.
8:45 is one of the voters Trump likes--poorly educated and proud of it.
ReplyDelete^^All Trump voters are poorly educated and proud of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong Byron? Can't find anyone near where you live to pay attention to you? Is this the only blog you can get on?
ReplyDeleteThis is to all the illegals... you have went through your process and you have been DENIED AND YOU HAVE TO GO! we CANNOT allow you to break the law and not answer for it and others have to! It cannot and will not work that way!
ReplyDeleteTo you stupid Democrats get your head out of your ass and realize by allowing them to break the law is WRONG unless you plan on allowing EVERYONE who breaks the law to have a free pass! Are you really willing to do that? Laws were created for a reason and cannot be changed unless it’s submitted, voted on and approved! You are playing with fire here! If you put this much effort into the homeless here, our forgotten veterans, the broken healthcare system ( yes he’s still broken ) our children here, the drug epidemic and anything that denotes a real United States citizen then this would truly be the GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH!
Remember karma is a very real thing you better get it together and stop allowing people to break the law especially ILLEGALS that have already been DENIED!
^^Blah blah blah. You talk too much and have nothing to say. Hurry up and die off already.
ReplyDeleteThis is to all of you Trumpsters who break the speed limit. We CANNOT allow you to break the law and not answer for it and others have to! It cannot and will not work that way!
ReplyDeletePrepare to meet your doom!
We have plenty of room for these poor oppressed people here in the bestest city in world.
ReplyDelete^^Yep, we do. Just no room for you. You suck ass.
