Hatred. It seems to be oozing out in some places in America. I thought with Memorial Day coming up how Americans 80 years ago were fighting on two fronts to end Nazism, Imperialism and Fascism. Hitler’s “Final Solution” would result in over 6 million Jews massacred across Europe. Racial superiority was rampant in Japan resulting in millions more killed. By 1945 Allied Forces had crushed this cancer spreading around the World.
Today, we have college students and professional protesters spewing hatred and calls for death to Jews, Israel and America. Racial and ethnic hatred have no place in these United States!
Precious blood, sweat and tears have been given over our history as we strive for the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
As Christians we should be examples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who calls us to love. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr once stated, “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
