The Republican party is dead. This is just the left wearing it as a skinsuit.
Or it was just a Greedy Globalist facade the whole time.
Left vs Right? False paradigm...

What We Do
Working for Justice
We put our Unitarian Universalist faith into action through projects that serve human needs and by addressing important issues like racism, homophobia, and the environment. Adults, teens and children work together to help make the world a more just, peaceful, and sustainable place.
Building Community
Congregation members get to know each other and build community through fellowship groups, learning groups, and spiritual practice groups. Adult classes and events also allow people to share their unique gifts and interests, while build lasting connections.
Religious Education
Our Religious Education program guides children and youth as they explore many kinds of truth and meaning. At the core of the program is a deep respect for each child’s curiosity and understanding, and opportunities to learn to care for one another, for others, and for the earth.
Worship and Spirituality
In worship, we sing and reflect, and hear music, stories, and wise words from diverse sources both sacred and secular. We learn and laugh together as we address life’s puzzles, unpack the issues of the day and share inspiration to help move the world towards justice.
What Scripture or Sacred Texts Do We Use?
Unitarianism and Universalism both have roots in the Protestant Christian tradition, where the Bible is the sacred text, but today we look to additional sources for religious and moral inspiration. We celebrate the spiritual insights of the world’s religions, recognizing wisdom in many scriptures.
When we read scripture in worship, whether it is the Bible, the Dhammapada, or the Tao Te-Ching, we interpret it as a product of its time and its place. There is wisdom there, and there are inspiring stories, but scripture cannot be interpreted narrowly or oppressively. But in our tradition, scripture is never the only word, or the final word, because we trust in the human capacity to use reason and draw conclusions about religion. Influenced by experience, culture, and community, each of us ultimately chooses what is sacred to us. Learn more.
The Unitarian Universalist Principles
Unitarian Universalist congregations covenant to affirm and promote these seven principles:
We live out these Principles within a living tradition of wisdom and spirituality that draws from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience:
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person
- Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
- Journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions
These principles and sources of faith are foundational to our religious community.
- Direct experience of transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life
- Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love
- Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life
- Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves
- Humanist teachings which counsel us to focus on this life and how to ethically treat others, to heed the guidance of reason and science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit
- Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature
It used to be like this nearly all the time in every mainland Chinese bus, train, or plane station. Since the high speed rails brought more electronic ticket buying and orderliness, things have improved a lot.It wsa like that 20 years ago when I did business in China. Getting on a flight I'd paid for and had tickets for but had failed to do some follow up admin was like getting on the last chopper out of Saigon as 10 or 20 people crushed the desk waving passports and shouting at the staff to get included on the last few seats. It was a connecting flight for us so we really needed to get it and by the grace of God we did
Keith Olberman revealed years ago that Sean Hannity confided to him that he doesn't believe a single word of what he says, and is 100% acting. If you think Sean Hannity (or anyone on the teevee) is a strong, principled person you respect, you are wrong.If Sean Hannity & Don Lemon were on TV together, the dialog would be standard & scripted, Republican vs. Democrat diatribe.
Yet here they are, rubbing shoulders together, having fun together.
More indicative of all talking heads on TV & all those promoted on social media being controlled assets, no...?

That is so funny. I just noticed the same thing walking by one a few days ago. Ugly is the new sexy.I went to the mall to buy an adapter for my new iphone which lacks a headphone jack, because they want to force you to use wireless bluetooth that irradiates the brain and increases their profits. I haven't been in ages, and I walked by Victoria's Secret.
For anyone coming of age in the 90s, Victoria's Secret sold extremely sexy lingerie to women, modeled by the most attractive female models which set the ideal for beauty standards. I know we have all seen the gross woke fashion ads today with trannies or obese blacks, but I didn't know they completely abandoned beauty. They have.
There was not a single attractive or titillating image in the entire Victoria's Secret storefront.
Even the mannequins they used were fat and black (they were actually made of white plastic but their body dimensions and choice of outfits strongly implied you were looking at a black woman.
I don't know how they expect to remain in business, I mean you may as well be buying your underwear at Wal Mart and saving money.
On the other hand, at least they didn't show any gross half naked images of obese trannies the way Calvin Klein and others do. It was mostly just a "how is this place still in business" moment.
....and there you have it: Modern Woman would rather die than be an outsider.Why you shouldn't try to persuade anyone...

The implication about what "hate" means for her is interesting too: apparently, questioning what the TV tells you, being rational, and being concerned for your own well being.....and there you have it: Modern Woman would rather die than be an outsider.
We appreciate your candor, Natalia.
