Founding Fathers On Religion and Government

If our Founding Fathers wanted to create a theocracy, they would have created a theocracy instead of a constitutional democracy.

Most Americans have never heard our Founding Fathers own words, their misgivings about organized religion in general and Christianity in particular.

Our Founding Fathers would be horrified by Donald Trump and Republicans, the Heritage Foundation and uber-rich televangelists crushing constitutional democracy and maliciously imposing a FOR-PROFIT theocracy on We The People of the United States.

Plain vanilla Christianty has been transmogrified into a modern, ruthless business model on a mission to crush constitutional democracy and equal rights in favor of theocratic government run by Christian Supremacists.

The Heritage Foundation and MAGA hijacked Christianity the way violent Zionists hijacked Judaism.

Jesus' teachings do not include, feature nor reference racism, classism, elitism or persons who turn a profit promoting their version of Christianty.

Unlike Jesus, rightwing conservative evangelicals hate entire classes and kinds of people and persons.

I contend there's no such thing as a healthy-minded rightwing conservative evangelical who believe transgenders are evil and homosexual marriage is a sin.

MAGA-supporting Republicans seek to weaponize their religious beliefs and personal prejudices into federal law and practice and put the non-believers in jail or banned from inclusion in society's functions.

The thinly-veiled 900-pound white gorilla in the room is White Supremacy written into government policy and practice.

The MAGA goal is to normalize White Supremacy and put blacks and non-whites into their past dark places, under the feet and direction of White Supremacists.

If MAGA, Christian nationalism and White Supremacy in government is the problem, then what's the solution?

THE SOLUTION is multifold:

1) Democrats must elect a Democratic Party President who will appoint a U.S. Attorney General who will enforce existing federal law.

2) The new AG must file a federal lawsuit on behalf of the United States Government against red state government beginning in the confederate states.

We The People have an unused tool to vigorously and robustly enforce our individual U.S. Constitutional rights; it's called U.S.C. TITLE 18 SEC. 242 and 241.

Too many Americans are unaware of the meaning and significance of a person's U.S. Constitutional rights and the federal penalties for any person acting under color of law who violates a person's U.S. Const. rights in the course of their employment and/or duties.

Too many Americans do not know that each and every person acting under color of law OWES A LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY to uphold a person's U.S. Constitutional rights when encountering persons in the course of their job and/or duties.

Too many Americans do not know that it is a FEDERAL CRIME for any person acting under color of law to knowing and willing violate a person's U.S. Const. rights, privileges and/or immunities. (the offense carries a minimum of one year in a federal penitentiary and up to life in prison depending upon the severity of the offense)

Too many times persons acting under color of law conduct themselves AS IF they did not owe a legal and constitutional duty to uphold a person's const. rights when processing or encountering that person.

Who Is A Person Acting Under Color of Law?

A person acting under color of law is any person who is employed by local, state, federal governments or agencies; including any person in the private sector who is required under local, state or federal law to follow a specific set of local, state or federal laws, rules, regulations or guidelines, i.e., nursing home administrators, physicians, nurses, etc.

Defendant persons acting under color of law are individuals who use power granted by a government position or law to willfully deprive someone of their constitutional or legal rights.

This applies even if the official acts outside the bounds of their actual lawful authority, provided they are pretending to perform their duties.

A wide variety of officials and individuals can act under color of law:

• Law Enforcement: Police officers, state troopers, sheriffs, and prison guards.

• Judicial & Legal Officials: Judges, prosecutors, and bailiffs.

• Institutional & Care Staff: Employees and care providers in public health facilities, state-run nursing homes, and juvenile detention centers.

• Government Employees: City council members, mayors, probation officers, and parole officials.

• Private Parties: Private individuals (such as bounty hunters or private security guards) can act under color of law if they are working in direct cooperation with, or on behalf of, the state.

Under federal statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 242 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, these individuals can be held criminally or civilly liable for abusing their official power.

Federal Civil Rights Statutes

The FBI is the primary federal agency responsible for investigating possible violations of federal civil rights statutes. 

These laws are designed to protect the civil rights of every person within the United States, citizens and non-citizens alike.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 249 - Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act

This statute makes it unlawful to willfully cause bodily injury—or attempting to do so with fire, firearm, or other dangerous weapon—when 1) the crime was committed because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin of any person, or 2) the crime was committed because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person and the crime affected interstate or foreign commerce or occurred within federal special maritime and territorial jurisdiction.

The law also provides funding and technical assistance to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to help them to more effectively investigate, prosecute, and prevent hate crimes.

The law provides for a maximum 10–year prison term, unless death (or attempts to kill) results from the offense, or unless the offense includes kidnapping or attempted kidnapping, or aggravated sexual abuse or attempted aggravated sexual abuse.

For offenses not resulting in death, there is a seven–year statute of limitations.

For offenses resulting in death, there is no statute of limitations.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against Rights

This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).

It further makes it unlawful for two or more persons to go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with the intent to prevent or hinder his/her free exercise or enjoyment of any rights so secured.

This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race.

Acts under "color of any law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties.
