An Open Letter to Marjorie Taylor Greene

 

Dear Crazy QAnon Lady,

I’m worried about you. You’re watching too much TV. Game of Thrones isn’t real. The part where Arya Stark can put on someone else’s face like a mask, so she looks just like them...not possible.

Likewise, your claim that Hillary Clinton is murdering kids and wearing their faces and drinking their blood is beyond ridiculous.

Secondly, liberals are not trampling on your First Amendment rights; you’re trampling on theirs. My guess is your information database is corrupt, so here’s the reality you seem determined to ignore, taken from Wikipedia, italics, mine:

 

The First Amendment was adopted to curtail the power of Congress to interfere with the individual's freedom to believe, to worship, and to express himself in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience…

At one time, it was thought that this right merely proscribed the preference of one Christian sect over another, but would not require equal respect for the conscience of the infidel, the atheist, or the adherent of a non-Christian faith such as Islam or Judaism. But when the underlying principle has been examined in the crucible of litigation, the Court has unambiguously concluded that the individual freedom of conscience protected by the First Amendment embraces the right to select any religious faith or none at all.

 

In other words, you don’t get to force your misguided version of Christianity on us. The First Amendment protects the infidel, the atheist, the Muslim and the Jew. It means anybody of any religion (or none) has the same rights you have.

 

Liberals are in line with the First Amendment as they welcome all religions and ask only that the Constitutions and Amendments to it are honored. You are in direct violation of the First Amendment when you insist that your God, your religion, and your political opinions should be allowed to override others.

 

You also appear to have trouble with projection. Just because you are bloodthirsty, power-hungry and intolerant, doesn’t mean we are. Please stop projecting your own inability to accept reality onto us. We’re actually pretty good at it. In fact, that’s how we’ll solve problems, like climate change and stopping Covid-19.

 

Lastly, getting elected to Congress by other so-called Christians doesn’t make you right. It simply makes you one of too many who are intolerant, mean-spirited and dangerous. None of us care if you believe in fantasies. You are free to be as ignorant as you wish. But you are not free to kill us or use the power of your seat in Congress to perpetuate your bizarre fantasies. If a line has been crossed here, it is by you, not by us.
