Please, in the name of honesty, integrity, consistency to American values and principles, do the right thing!

The tragic sites of every atrocity are by definition hallowed ground.

There is no justification for separating or classifying someone else’s hallowed ground as “less hallowed” than ground you personally deem as “more hallowed.”

Where death, rapine, plunder and destruction have been afflicted on others, that ground is hallowed.

Honesty and total integrity then demand that the following actions be taken in support of and consistent with the notion of protection of hallowed ground by exclusion from proximity.

All elected representatives in the state of Texas should take formal exclusion action of any Catholic site or monument within a set distance from the Alamo since most Mexican soldiers were Catholic.

Then, in consistency with this new doctrinal point of view, every Christian church or  monument located within a set distance from sites where Hispanic and Native American people were victims of white American Christian citizens and/or soldiers should be removed.

Every site in colonial America where witches were burned must be cleared of all Christian Protestant churches and monuments within a specified proximity.

Every site in historical America where Native American people were massacred by American Christians must be cleared of all Christian Churches and monuments within a specified proximity. This includes sites that were formerly tribal homelands but from which human beings were forcibly removed and includes numerous policies that forced Native peoples to convert to Christianity, abandon their culture and language.

Every site in America where slaves were brought to this country, sold on the market and brutalized in slavery must be cleared of all Christian Churches and monuments within a specified proximity. That also goes to every site where slaves or their descendents were lynched, raped, plundered, etc.

By way of inclusion, every site where perpetrators associated with Protestant churches espoused awful anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim and anti-non-white views that led to a host of discriminatory practices against Jews, Muslims, and any minorities, harassed freed blacks and others by wearing white hoods and engaging in despicable, cowardly, and murderous acts must be cleared of all Christian Churches and monuments.

Every site where Japanese Americans were interred and suffered at the hands of white Christian American Patriots must be cleared of Christian Churches and monuments.

Utah’s Temple Square, the hallowed heart of the LDS Church whose members were persecuted, raped, plundered and murdered by mobs who were incited mainly by hostile and bigoted Protestant ministers, must be cleared within a specified proximity of all Christian Churches and monuments.

This is consistent with current exploitative logic and justification offered by Fox News, principal sponsor and the Republican Party, the principal sponsored god child of Fox News.

You folks…

in the name of honesty, integrity, consistency to American values and principles

need to put up …

or shut the hell up.
