Alabama Democratic Conference Chairman Dr. Joe Reed, Alabama State Senator Hanks Sanders and others who fight for justice must know this scripture from Matthew 5:10; 13:20-21 by heart because I think about it whenever I read comments like these;
Don't lose hope. Joe reed, Hank Sanders and "Dick" arrington will be dead from old age very soon.~Takenoprisoners
ADC-in my opinion needs to be...a dying cause...Because they are useless to the state party of the people~DemoGirl
Joe Reed will have his power but it will be over a sadly shrunken party~mooncat
I had some hope when the SDEC stood up to Reed in 2006, but now that his son is following in his footsteps, I may have to give up.~ Kathy
Jesus taught his disciples to honor those who are merciful, those with integrity, those who make peace, those who stand up for the poor and the pious, the outcast and the upright. Joe Reed and others face the consequences of Christian discipleship by being persecuted for the sake of justice, just like Jesus himself. And NO, I'm not saying Joe Reed is Jesus, I comparing the consequences and similarities of their actions.
In his persecution for the sake of justice, Jesus became powerless, like the destitute and the mourners. Jesus' body became a human billboard, not unlike the hanging bodies of black men in the South, left on trees by lynch mobs as a warning to those who would challenge the power of the empire. Naked, helpless and exposed to the world, the crucified one was debased. and the honor of his family, destroyed.~Confessing the Beatitudes Margaret Aymer
Joe Reed isn't the enemy of the democratic party, and those who treat him as such need to stop. We can't stand up for the least and the left out by tearing downs those who do. You're either with us....or you're with them.
"If God is for us, who is against us?"Romans 8:31-39.
