Last night I watched the most disgusting News Expose show in recent memory, if not longer. This time, for there have been many times previously, it was not because of the immoral slant of the major media outlets that have consistently worked overtime to blatantly distort the truth, in order to persuade a gullible viewing audience, for their own perverse agenda at the time. This time it was Fox News reporting on the state of America's political polarization into factions, on both the Left, and the Right, that are demonstrating that they are each quite "fed-up" with the way the establishment parties have destroyed our trust in the American political system. It was "disgusting", for once not because it was a blatant pack of media corporate lies, but because it was the obvious truth!!! And, true to the old adage ("the truth hurts"), there are times when the truth is so painful that is literally "disgusting"!
The show was called "VOTER REVOLT", and it began with the outrage of the mostly youthful Leftist demonstrators, who are ironically supporters of the anti-youthful Socialist candidate, Bernie Sanders, who in his seventies has struck a nerve that can probably be traced back to the Leftist education that most young students are force-fed, as I was, from their days at pre-school, through 12 years of Public Education, and topped off with the blatant Socialist agenda that passes for "Higher Education" on most college campuses today. It took me several years after that indoctrination/education to come to the brilliant conclusion that I had been fed a pack of lies, and that our Founding Fathers had the right idea all along. I can only wonder how many of the students of each class per year ever reach the same conclusion. I suspect it is pathetically few! In my case it took a conversion experience, referred to as being "Born Again", and a careful examination of the scriptures of the Bible to overcome the lies I had been force-fed in the public schools ( when I realized that the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution were remarkably consistent with the principles of the Bible, I realized that they were either both right, or both wrong, and guess which conclusion I came to?). The official censure of Bible reading in schools was not traditional. I do remember the Bible being read to my classes, up until the early sixties (I just didn't listen!), when that was put a stop to by our "Civil Libertarians", through the "wisdom" of the Supreme Court. I guess you could say that may have been the starting point of the moral decline of America's government. I personally think the whole Department of Education should be abolished, and the education of our children should be left up to the State, and local governments, who will respond to the interests of the parents (and I am not impressed with the the P.T.A.'s performance, historically, either).
The show went on to discuss the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which may have some relevance, with the performance of some of the police actions lately, but not all that they have been protesting. It seems that the organizers of this movement would have us believe that, "ONLY Black Lives Matter", and they are outraged when any black is shot by the police, regardless of the apparent guilt of the suspect, and their attempt to resist arrest, or escape police. However, I am not suggesting that we should condone the execution of a young man, who may, or may not be carrying a gun; it doesn't take sixteen shots to bring down a fleeing suspect, no matter what the color of his skin!
Then their was an examination of the more "establishment" Democratic voters who have been supporting Hillary Clinton, no matter how obviously incompetent her performance was in the State Department, just because she represents the Democratic "business-as-usual" wing of the Undeclared Socialists in America. Thanks to Obama's mangling of the Constitution over the past seven years, and his projected increased efforts to do so over the next year, coupled with her own illegal incompetence, she seems finally to be losing ground within her own party. Amazingly, even Democrats seem to have a threshold for incompetence in government, though they have been nauseatingly tolerant with Obama.
On the Republican side, the show examined Trump's anti-establishment popularity (which, in my opinion has a remarkable resemblance to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini during the 1930's). [I don't mean that their platforms were similar, but their techniques were identical. They simply "test the wind" for whatever issues are of greatest concern to their desired constituency, and offer general solutions, without specifics in order to dupe their followers into supporting them. (I am already on record as stating that I think Trump looks like Mussolini [actually, they are both bald!]), whenever he is listening to someone state an opinion that he obviously disagrees with. His lower lip juts out far enough for him to trip over, if he's not careful. And with his propensity to put his foot in his mouth, I think he will soon have difficulty with walking and talking both!)] Perhaps Trump is more honest than I suspect he is, but he seems to be absolutely dripping with ego, and frankly that kind of personality scares the "willies" out of me! I will sit out the election if he is the best choice to vote for, and I've never done that before.
Finally, the show dealt with a rebellion of sorts that I can identify with: the Evangelical voters, primarily among the Republican constituency. The show interviewed Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, and the unofficial spokesman for the concerns of the Evangelical voters, who are tired of the Republican Party's apparent presumption that they will vote for whatever establishment candidate that is chosen (by mostly Wall Street lobbyists), simply because he is "better than the Democratic alternative". Franklin said that the deciding factor in his standing against the establishment candidates (and that probably includes Trump, even if he is using his own money to finance his campaign) was when the Republican majority Congress decided to pass a bill fully funding "Planned Parenthood" (in spite of recent scandals) demonstrating a lack of concern for the interests of the Evangelical voters, or their likelihood to vote them out of office soon. If Ted Cruz is not the Republican winner of the primary elections, I would not be surprised if the Evangelicals stayed home "in droves" for the general election, just to show the Republican Party that they can not win without them. And if Ted Cruz is the Republican nominee, I'd expect Trump (ever the overgrown spoiled brat) to take his multi-billion dollar "football", and go home to start a third party candidacy. Either way, I don't see any Republican victory in November. There is just too much anti-establishment angst in American politics today! And the sad thing is that Obama brought this underlying angst to the surface; and America's reaction will probably be to elect some Socialist, whether Bernie, or some Democrat who pretends not to be a Socialist (when they are), to give us even more of the same!!! I've stated before that Obama's "carte blanche" treatment from Congress, and probably the Supreme Court, in allowing his wholly unconstitutional use of Executive Orders to begin turning this country's government into a Socialist State, could never have happened before this century. This leads me to suspect that God is allowing us to have, "the government we deserve, rather than the one we need", because of the spiritual deadness in which we have allowed this country to become, so the Anti-Christ can come to power over his one-world government, and really screw things up! Then God will judge those who foolishly embrace his system, while He rescues those of us who will remain faithful to Him.
I know which side I'll be on! How about you???
