I read an interesting column in my local paper Wednesday. The newspaper's publisher, a well-known Republican, stated that Donald Trump shouldn't be the next president of the United States.
Not only that, he stated that Donald Trump is unworthy both of the president's office, and of the Republican Party itself.
Ouch. A nasty burn, although Trump is such a self-involved narcissist, he'd ignore the opinion of an East Central Indiana newspaper publisher.
On the same day, however, Trump appeared on The 700 Club with televangelist Pat Robertson. Given that Pat Robertson once refused to pray for then-President Bill Clinton when he was asked to do so, it's not hard to figure out who he wants as our next president.
Rev. Robertson is obviously willing to ignore Trump's many faults because of what appears to be an extreme hatred of the Clintons.
It kind of makes me wonder if Robertson is willing to let Trump grab either of his daughters, or any of his granddaughters by their privates. Admittedly, that is unlikely, but if you're throw your support to someone who's a sociopath, you'd better add qualifiers or you'll come off just as much a sociopath as that person is.
In my opinion, Donald Trump makes it easy to decide who to vote for...or against. I do not support him, nor will I vote for him, but I will pray for him.
We are to pray for those we oppose, something my conservative brethren would do well to remember. A church I once attended refused to put President Clinton on the prayer list, but went out of their way to pray for - and praise - President George W. Bush during his two terms.
Of course, it also pays to remember that no matter how we vote for president, our vote is nothing. The Electoral College chooses the president. It's funny how so many people keep forgetting that.
Oh, and before I sign off... America IS Great. Don't let someone's strange fantasy of being oppressed by President Obama convince you otherwise. Even if we are a democratically-elected oligarchy, the United States of America is still a great country.
Peace be unto you.
