I was raised to believe the U. S. didn’t start wars, and it was mostly true. We did try our very best to take advantage of the misfortunes or other countries. That was wrong, but it was sanctioned by our congress.

However, now we are attacking people at sea, taking extraordinary actions for a single shooter, actually attempting to steal oil.

My suggestion would be to not reelect anyone who is now or ever served in public office and limit every office to 2 terms.

Our President is taking the reigns too far, and congress is not stopping him. The presidential office was never designed. It was signed to elect a leader of professional workers in our government.

The politicians who call themselves republicans are not. They are Trump followers. Their are too many people not voting because they think their vote doesn’t count.

Yesterday an election was held in the Nashville, Tennessee area. The Republicans won but not like they should have. The Democrats could have done more to get the vote if they had a better candidate. The difference was the independent’s vote.

The independent vote is like my vote. We have to vote for the candidate that will do the least harm. Lest harm is the key, but how can we determine that? There is no way. Candidates can say anything, but it isn’t a contract. We wish it were a contract, but it is not. Unless we people find a way to control the power, we will be under the most influential party.

There was a movie long ago titled “Mr. Smith goes to Washington”. It demonstrated to the public, in a small way, that corruption rules. About twenty year ago the was a book “I was a hit man for the CIA” which showed how strong we are in the world.

These are examples of real corruption sanction by people that were not elected but given the power by the candidates we did elect. This how far from a founding fathers we had come. Only the voters can change that.

I was a Democrat until about 10 years ago when I decided neither party put our interest before the party’s interest. I became an independent. I did this because neither is following the basic principles of humanity. The Republican Party favors the high rollers, company or individual. The Democratic Party favors the oppressed and working middle class which is good if it is not over done. People should work if they are able, the Democratic Party fights over items that has nothing to do with governing.

Main reason I became independent is abortion. Basic principle that cover this is when a child is born in the US, it is a citizen of the US. So we killed a citizen because someone does not know how to manage birth control. We didn’t kill a child, but we killed million of them.

Our congress solved the drug problem by putting the users in jail.

Our congress solved the mentally ill problem by ignoring the possibility treatment.

Our congress solved the gang problem by keeping the minimum wage so low a young person felt the gangs would help them more than the government would.

Our congress let our nation’s debt rise to an amounthigher than we could pay if a demand was made.

Our congress let the military expenditure get total out of control approving of cost plus contracts for item we don’t need.

Our congress approved the redirection of the Social Security Lock Box to finance the start of our interstate system.

There are many other examples, but this is why we need to set term limits and do there things that we reign in the power struggle.

All of the bills passed today are passed to the benefit of congress members.

We started a nation of very wise men, backed be wise women, stating that all men are created equal. Now we are faced with a not so wise gentleman in the executive branch of government attempting to do the job of all branches of our government with no accountability. It will take decades to recover from the damage this man has done.

This man is not the enemy. The love of money and power is the enemy. When men love money more than our Creator, our creator gets our attention. I am not worried. I’m a citizen of heaven even now as I write this message. If you are a Christian, you are also. What I pray is that we all become Christian even if you never get rich. If one becomes a Christian and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they will always survive. Their fate is sealed by God.

Our goal is to love each other. Mamon and Power gets in the way of that. I want to try of love every person. I am not good at that, but I try.

Our nation was basically formed as a Christian Nation.  That is to say some came here to have freedom of worship and some just came here to exploit a new nation or gain income and/or power from people that had power. 

When we became a nation the people that cared about “the people” mostly looked to God as a guide to making that happen.  At that time God was represented by the religions that were formed in Europe, but they had one commonality, in that, they used the Holy Bible as a guide.

That was a good thing, but just like the “chosen people”, the Jews, of that Old Testament that didn’t understand the “Ten Commandment”, we the people began writing “what if” laws.  Now we have to put up with women saying a woman has the right to have an abortion for no reason other than convenience. We have men that say they have a right to exploit common citizens to gain power and money.  We have young and old men joining gangs or organizations for power and money.

How much patience does our God have?  I am among some who believe, Got gave this land to a group of people that had not allegiance to any former government, and let them form a republic for the people under His banner.  God could take this land away from us any time He choose, and let the country go to the devil which is what we seem to be worshiping.

Our problem isn’t money or prestige.  God could take care of that with a whisper.  Our problem is obedience.  We have gangs because we let it happen.  We have a corrupt government including local, state and federal because we let it happen.  Who is guilty of that?  Me and many others that let our thoughts wonder away from the Word.  I have to include myself because I have had thoughts that were not good.  My bible says if I think it; I did it.

We have elected a man that cares only for himself that those that support him.  We have elected throughout this country governors and state and federal legislators that, for the most part, seek money and power with little thought for you and me.

Even how we have the strongest economy in the world and the world needs a Christian nation to help it become a strong Christian world as God intended.

I have no answer except to spread God’s love to each other here and let it spread to other countries.  God likes that and will let us prosper.

The election is over. Now let’s get the nation striated out and vote of matters that actually make a difference to the public. The next election should make a difference to the constitution.

Here are things that matter to the voters. They want someone that actually believes in the government framed by the founders. We do not have freedom to change our sex or to kill babies. Women do not have the right to decide weather or not to continue regency.

Our forefather were mostly Christian believers and believed in the Ten Commandments. They put a lot of prayer into the decisions they made to create the document we refer to as the United States Constitution. However, have done to the Constitution the same thing the Children of Israel did to the Ten Commandments.

The Children of Israel passed the law of Moses which are no more than a series of “what if laws”. The Ten Commandment and the Constitution are simple rules that are designed to rule by common sense based on the concept of those rules.

Our Supreme Court bases their decisions on how other “what if decisions” were answered rather than going to the intent of the law or rule.

What we need to do as individuals is decide if we want to be a Christian Nation or the devils slave.
