You are probably wondering how in the world can I say something like that.
From the time I was seven years old I have pursued an understanding of the Bible, and specifically the New Testament. Within the last decade, I have concluded in my studies that it's all about Christ and nothing else. Everything that God determined throughout all eternity is in Christ. Creation, the Law, redemption from the guilt of not keeping the Law, all prophecies, and all the promises of God, these are all fulfilled in Christ. That is what the Bible teaches.
It was in my teen years when I got interested in politics. I think I was 30 something till I got interested in the Constitution, and the founding. But, it wasn't till I got onto the internet that I did a massive study of the founding. That was in February 2009. Since then I have become very curious about how we got the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution out of those people. I mean, let's face it, there is a good reason why there is a beer named after Samuel Adams. It seemed carousal was their second nature. It was an ongoing party. How this Country survived with them at the helm is beyond me. And maybe this is the reason there are folks that believe God had a hand in it. It would be like sending Christ through the people of Israel.
My understanding of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and America's founding, and of the Bible is far superior than that of Donald Trump. Just as Hillary Clinton once said, "It comes down to what Donald Trump doesn't get. America is great because America good." But, what Hillary doesn't understand, America is no longer great because America is no longer good. Please see the article here: www.weeklystandard.com/the-tocqueville-fraud/article/8100#!
That article says in part,
Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America is a beloved, canonical text; the urge to quote from it is understandably great. Politicians ever seek to demonstrate familiarity with it, from Bill Clinton to Pat Buchanan. One of their favorite quotes runs as follows:
I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . in her fertile fields and bound less forests—and it was not there. . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
Whoever made these statements, whether Alexis de Tocqueville, or someone else, it certainly is true. In spite of all the problems of our founding, America was good. The masses of America was good. We were a godly nation. We had a healthy respect of God and his word, the Bible. Somewhere that changed. The Government stopped obeying the Constitution, and the churches stopped obeying Christ. So America is no longer great, and Donald Trump does not have what it takes to make America great again.
As John Adams said...
But, today's morality and religion is far different than it was back then. To make America great again, the Government must get back to the Constitution, and the church must get back to Christ. And Donald Trump is so inferior in that task. His view of making America great again has nothing to do with morality, or the Constitution. Like most Presidents since Kennedy, Donald Trump doesn't care about either in spite of his rhetoric too the contrary.
I am the only one who is hoping to be elected President in 2020 that cares about both. If you care about both as I do, I ask for your support. We can make America great again, but not with Donald Trump in the White House.
LET US MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
