Yeh, I know, hardly a newsflash, right? But I just thought I would ruminate here, and grieve the loss of what was once a great nation. It was a nice idea while it lasted.
The US was founded on Christian principles. It doesn’t look like it will end that way.
The original settlers came from England to flee religious prosecution. Then after a war for freedom, the Christian Founders put together a beautiful document called the US Constitution, along w/ the Declaration of Independence. And they had a wonderful idea of how a nation would be/could be/should be. But alas, they apparently weren’t farsighted enough to see what could/would happen when evil men came to power, as they should have known would one day happen, when the People themselves allowed those evil ones to do just that-- because the People were corrupt themselves.
The People forgot about Jesus. Jesus is too hard to follow, they said. We want Easy, no crosses for us. Don’t tell us to pick up our cross Jesus, and carry it because that is just ridiculous to us.
They ditched you, Jesus because You had the nerve to tell them that to be saved involves sacrifice. You had the gall to tell them to obey those really OLD 10 Commandments. They preferred to listen to the lawless one who divided the Church, Luther. They know better than you, Jesus. They believe in “progress,” & so should You, which of course means freedom from truth, but hey, truth never made anyone rich or famous. And because of that decision, they got used to prosperity and comfort and an easy life, and with that, they got used to having a corrupt ruler.
So now we have 2016 and find ourselves with a choice of candidates (ha ha, CHOICE of candidates—there’s a joke for ya), one of whom is a criminal (failed to protect top secret government documents, lied about it.. and everything else) and the other candidate who is… SURPRISE (!) also a criminal (failed to pay workers their wages, fined $1 million in court for conspiracy to hire illegals.. allegedly in business with the mob, denied knowing the one-time KKK grand wizard, etc..).
Shouldn’t the Constitution be changed to say that if you have committed a recent crime, you shouldn’t be allowed to run for president?
All this just says it all concerning where this country is. This election just says it ALL
But you know… There IS something, just ONE thing that gives me hope:
65% of Americans, on the Republican side, have NOT voted for the criminal (liar, win-at-any-cost) candidate. Yes, that 65% figure gives me hope. Although, even that hope may disappear soon because so-called Christians are too lazy and/or selfish to go out and vote to stop the criminal from becoming their leader. I’m sure those who don’t vote will be sorry soon enough
And because no one wants to drop out of the race, we are stuck with the criminal (liar, hater).
So much for being willing to “die for your country” Maybe only veterans of wars should be allowed to run for president… They understand sacrifice.
