10/16/26 NOW I KNOW
I was not raised in a politically oriented family.My mom was from Scotland, and she had no political leanings there or here.
My dad was from a coastal town in North Carolina. His family did not have political interests.
The community, like most American communities, was enamored with FDR and therefore it leaned toward the Democrat Party.
I did care about my country as a young person, but I did not have any political interests from the time I was a Jr. Hi student ('60) through my college days ('69).
At the beginning of my ministry years ('69) I was concerned with the direction of our country (racial upheaval and the Viet Nam war). The Mideast was becoming a very active war zone (Israel was in conflict with her Muslim neighbors) and Christians were suffering greatly under Communism (Russia and other Soviet bloc nations, China. Liberation Theology was rising in African countries ('60s-'70s) and Western Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, France) were being deeply corrupted with Theological Liberalism and Globalism.
But through all of those rapidly rising changes, I was still not a politically oriented person.In the '70s American Christianity, Patriotism, American culture and social structures were being undermined by Christian Liberalism and Political Liberalism and Marxism.
There was a time when Democrats and Republicans both subscribed to the Constitution and American Exceptionalism. But as Liberalism, Marxism, Humanism and fake Scientism was being foisted upon college and university students, the public school students of America were being led away from Chrisitan and American ideals.
Regardless which side won, the country was still the USA.
I am not saying that there were never any vital setbacks or disagreements. I am just saying that we were still a free country, where the people had a say in the direction of the country. No matter who won or lost, there would be dissatisfaction within the winning and losing parties. No one got everything they wanted. But we were still the United States of America.
Under the surface there was a cancer growing. A corruption waiting for the opportunity to destroy America. Socialism (another name for Communism) started poisoning Americans in the 1800s and continued into the 1900s.
I will preface my conclusion by agreeing that there are problems with the Republican side.
BUT, at least the Republican Party has not (yet) exchanged the American way for Communism or Christianity for Islamism.At least the Republican Party (to a much greater degree) still holds to the the U.S. Constitution.
At least the Republican Party has not turned against Christian faith and practice.
Though there are Democrats who will deny the total sell out of their Party, the platform, the candidates, the actions, and the declarations of the Democrat Party is a complete betrayal of the American way of life concerning freedom, faith, finances, and family.There was a time when the country would continue to move forward, improving itself as the greatest country in the history of the world. But we don't have that luxury now.
Based on the actions, attitudes and aspirations of the "big tent" Democrats, America must be replaced with a Christless, corrupt system.
A vote for the Democrats is a vote to end free voting.A vote for the Republicans is a vote to allow free voting, for the present.
All human systems will eventually fail. The Democrat Party has failed, and to support it is a vote for America to fail utterly and immediately.
