I remember as a kid, and that was many, many years ago, that people would say that in America anyone can be the president but that was usually followed by a description of hard work, a great education and a profound love of country.
Then we arrive at the 2016 election and the low information, reality TV watchers actually went to the polls during the primary and we got Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as our choice for president of the United States and I now know what it means for a nation to be turned over to a debased mind.
Think about it, with the American population at just under 319 million people, these two yahoos were the best we could come up with?
Seriously, Hillary Clinton barely got out of being indicted for treason and gross incompetence only because she was on the inside of the Obama administration. She is now being accused of somehow being involved in the murder of the person who leaked those emails from the DNC and that is not the first time she has been accused of such a thing.
It would be one thing if she were personable like her husband Bill but she is not even that sharp, unless you count her uncanny ability to get out of trouble.
I’m not just being mean to the woman, she had the father of the Orlando massacre killer in the background of one of her rallies, not smart.
Clinton supports godless Marxist ideologies, she supports Islamic despots over pseudo Islamic dictators. She was instrumental in the Arab Spring and the Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans was about moving weapons that may have been critical in regime change that includes Turkey’s president Erdoğan becoming the newly minted Islamic dictator and perhaps a return to the caliphate.
This does not mean Donald Trump is the obvious alternative. This man loves the taste of his own shoe leather. He just insinuated that people who own guns should solve his campaign problems by “taking care of Mrs. Clinton”, really?
Trump has no core values other than self promotion and gaining wealth and many people think that that is a good reason to elect him as president.
The Donald makes ignorant statements about immigration by specifying Muslims as needing to be banned from entering the country, when he could gain huge support by saying immigration from violent countries who are unable to be properly screened should by given a moratorium.
Trump may not be as big a candidate for the orange suit as Hillary Clinton, he really is not the sharpest crayon in the box.
What is worse is that there is no real alternative among the libertarians or the green party either.
The United States is in trouble and it is of our own doing. We have rejected the Lord and His ways and the bible is clear that this brings consequences. Our ability to make rational decisions has been impaired by choosing sin and wickedness over the path of righteousness and bad leaders arise too.
Now is the time for believers to fast and pray for our nation as it is never too late to choose the Lord, even as the Lord has removed the hedge of protection from this once great nation it is now time to seek God.
