Hooray, and Hallelujah!!! Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucus! So what? Does this mean anything really? Unfortunately, I suspect not. Previous Iowa Caucus winners have included Pat Robertson, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee, all very respected Born-Again Christians, which is a big "Plus" in heavily Evangelical Iowa. Yet, none of them succeeded much after Iowa. Ted Cruz is either a devout Born-Again Christian, or a superb actor, having memorized all the right cliches to turn on an Evangelical audience, after growing up in a Baptist preacher's home. I remain a bit skeptical, for now, due to the reputation of P.K.'s (or, Preacher's Kids), and their excessively tolerant parental upbringing leading them to be "demons", wrapped in Faith-based clothing. I will reserve judgement for now, but he seems pretty genuine, as far as I can tell.
I like Cruz, and I might even vote for him as president, in November. But I think he will not win the election, not because he's not good enough, but because he is. I truly expect this election to go to some jerk, like Trump (that over-grown spoiled brat, who can't stand not getting his way; do we really want him to throw a tantrum, in the same room with the launch-button for America's Nuclear Arsenal?) or worse to one of those idiots running as a Democrat! May God have mercy on us, but I think we're going to get the President we deserve, rather than the one we need, and boy do we need a good one, after the one we've got now! I really feel that part of God's judgement for the world, as well as an America that has grown spiritually complacent with "the way things are going", living in blissful denial at the way we've allowed our leaders to screw things up, thinking that it will all work out fine, eventually. Well, it will! But it's going to get a lot worse before that, and perhaps many of us will not survive to see things work out better.
I think we can kiss America goodbye, at least the one we're used to. I really don't think we could have elected a president like Obama at any time during the last century, and I'm not trying to make any kind of racial slur against him. I don't care about the color of his skin. But his heart seems to be black as coal, and that has nothing to do with his race. His political views are more in tune with members of I.S.I.S., and Al Quaida, than with our Constitutional form of government, of the last 227 years. The very fact that America has declined spiritually enough to not recognize him for who he is ("wolf in sheep's clothing"???) makes me fear that we will elect someone just as bad in his place, come November.
How could Hillary Clinton escape scandal sufficient to scuttle her campaign, let alone criminal indictment, after she purposely allowed Top Secret intelligence information to be sent to her over an unsecured cell phone line, in a society worried about the ramifications, like the paranoia of the "Cold War era"??? She was knowledgeable enough about world affairs to realize that those documents might be classified after the fact (or did she tell the senders to be sure there were no secret designations on the documents, just to give her legal "deniability"?) , and therefore she had to have known that what she was doing was dangerous to our National Security. But she apparently considered her own convenience to be more important than our National Security.
The truly sad thing about all this is not so much Hillary's negligence as Secretary of State, but the apparent lack of concern of the Democratic voters of this country, highly-educated, through the illiterate, alike, that they actually want her kind of gross negligence to be President, for the next 4, to 8 years! To think that she actually won in Iowa yesterday, no matter how narrowly, is unfathomable to me. And even if she hadn't, who would have beaten her? The only openly admitted Socialist candidate to ever have a realistic chance at being elected President of this country, in it's history! Does this sound like God is letting us warm up to the idea of allowing a one-world Socialist leader to take over our government, along with the rest of the world? The Bible clearly prophecies about just this, in Revelation 13, and I don't see how this could happen if America were still the pre-eminent geo-political, economic, and military force in the world. I envision a sort of perverse, "[we] must decrease, so that he can increase" scenario. God is going to give us all one last chance to choose sides, with those who prefer the Antichrist's system (with it's "mark of the Beast" economy) having a very long time (eternity) to come to regret their choice. We who stand for the Lord will ultimately prevail, but I grieve for the rest of us, and it seems like that may be the most of us!
