Where Are The Voices?

I cannot express deeply enough my disappointment in our political and religious leaders across this great nation.

This past weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, our country witnessed an organized group of white men spewing a vile message of racial and ethnic hatred. Their very name identification, 'White Nationalists' speaks sick volumes even before their despicable acts of behavior.

The White Nationalists wear clothing with the historical German swastika logo, which is a horrific affront to Jews and every American family who had servicemen answer the call to fight in  World War II. As these bigots marched through Charlottesville streets they shouted racial epithets and slogans of supports for President Donald Trump, which indicates an even deeper growing cancer in America. The leadership voices denouncing these people and their hate filled  mission from hell was absent. Let me say this: Had that been a Muslim man driving the auto, which slammed into the Charlottesville crowd killing a young woman there would be a plethora of voices talking terrorists  crap and Trump would be hammering away at the courts regarding various immigration bans.

We have noticed on many occasions, religious and political leaders speaking against atrocities in a  unified voices. This weekend our nations' pastors, priests and political leaders struck out; they struck out looking; looking cowardly. This type of disgusting terrorist demonstration should be called out and denounced by all who claim the salvation of Jesus Christ or believe in basic human dignity.

When will this nation's people and leaders live up to and speak out in behalf of the frequently stated  brag about our country being founded on strong Judea-Christian principles?

Instead of speaking healing-words, President Trump stumbles with his message of condemnation of bona fide self-proclaimed hate groups and his words ultimately fan the flames of an already negative environment.

Where are our religious leaders. Those individuals who preach the message of Jesus Christ's "love one another?" Perhaps they simply are uncertain where they stand on the racial issues. That's sad!
