Project 2025 stands on four principles that it says the country must embrace:

1)The U.S. must “restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.”

Sounds great at face value. It’s not.

As a strong supporter of children, moms, dads and a rescuer of pets…those who know me say that I live to LOVE and encourage people. The thing is that doing the things I learned from Jesus in America has meant that I’ve encountered many families over the years. And guess what?! There have been a plethora of different family structures among them all. I don’t know anyone who actually believes that there can ever be a one size fits all definition of a family that describes every group of people that makes up one. Most importantly, a government defining a family as one male married to one female and having as many children as possible, means that any slight variation of this model will be subject to punishment from the government. If not directly, by exclusion.

Birth control…over.

Single parent supports…over

It will be their way or nothing. That is not liberty. That is not freedom. Think about anyone you know who varies even slightly from the Leave it to Beaver model…your family?

2)Project 2025 will seek to…Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people. So what does this mean?

Do you like to travel from place to place on good roads and over safe bridges? Well in a purely “self governed” state, road maintenance will be up to you. Snow removal? Yours.

Like to ability to call 911? Gone.

Like to know your doctors and lawyers actually have an education required by law? No more.

Public Libraries? Government chosen books.

Project 2025 seeks to…

3)Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats”

Seriously? Think this means keeping you safe so you can enjoy the fireworks every year?

What global threats hit you upside the head this weekend? The actual ones?

Oh and I’m pretty sure the borders of this county are protected by the “administrative”state and with it being dismantled, what’s a nation to do? Bombs?

Project 2025 seeks to…

4) Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls ‘the Blessings of Liberty.’”

Where do you NOT get to live your actual life freely? Prison. That’s the only place. The last time my husband traveled for work he was in Michigan where the Amish were out and about snarling up traffic. Annoying as ever but guess what? Everyone tolerated them…because? In America they are free to be Amish?

There Heritage foundation would like you to think that you are living in the worst country on earth. Change, growth and the realities of life on an ever expanding populace, in their minds must be controlled. Ask yourself, just where is my personal liberty and freedom being restricted?

I was just on an airplane and wonder if someone was feeling restricted as they were unable to smoke next to me because the administrative state said they no longer could. I like my freedom to breathe clean air especially in a metal tube flying hundreds of miles an hour at 30+K feet, don’t you? Kind of like it that it also requires pilots to actually know how to fly.

This foundation’s plan is not about freedom or liberty. It is about control. Frustrated that the administrative state literally saved us from the psychopath that is DT, they have pull up all stakes and are planning to reshape the country in their image. Planning to put this in place with a rubber stamp from 45, guys like Steve Bannon, Steven Miller and Roger Stone imagine that they will be in charge. Christianity is the mask they are wearing to make their over reach palatable to the masses. Though non of these men have traditional families themselves – consider the former POTUS, by pretending to be aligned with the Christian right, they think they can win.

Project 2025 is exclusively about one specific type of people- white, Christian American people. It is my observation that way too many of these people have entirely lost the connection with their dark-skinned, Jewish born, non-married and childless Lord and Savior, Jesus! Having made him in their own red, white and blue image, it appears that they are faithful Christians seeking Gods best, but are instead quite the opposite. It is clearer by the day that The Heritage Foundation’s work is nothing more than a gross attempt to deny reality and craft a world of its own making at the expense of the rest of us.

Project 2025 is an arrogant attempt to take this country away from the rest of us. It is not authentic in Christian faith and its doctrines in any possible way but sadly, too many Christians have no idea what their faith’s tenants actually are anymore.

That Jesus said so many things contrary to this effort, seems to entirely escape way too many believers. They have exchanged time in prayer, Bible Study and most of all personal transformation toward Christlikeness for idolatrous images like the 1950’s post war image of a perfect American family, state and nation – one where everyone is a Christian churchgoer. Jesus challenged people like this all of the time. He looked them in the eyes and called out their misguided allegiances. He was especially adept at seeing hypocrisy in religious people. It’s my own observation and opinion that because he was relentless in this confrontation, he was eventually crucified.

Real Christian faith has nothing to do with forcing people to behave a certain way. The Christianity I know is a relationship with a risen Jesus and expressed by those who choose to follow him, period. It is not the Bible. It is not American churches. But most of all? It is not the United States government.
