If there is a hope, it must be in the form of exceptional leadership. There are already plenty of exceptional people in the U.S.A., but they do not form the majority. Even so, if an exceptional leader became available, as with Ronald Reagan, that would allow some of the less gifted citizens to join a movement because they would sense that something good and big was underway. In that way, even though the good people are probably now about a 35-40 per cent minority, enough political capital could be accumulated to reverse the situation.
So where to find such a person? I’m not too sure that the person is known (yet) although I remain hopeful that it could be Sarah Palin or possibly Ted Cruz. The challenges will be enormous — it won’t be just a case of repairing the damage of Obama’s destructive reign, but also evidently confronting a particularly menacing situation developing in the Islamic world.
Frankly, I believe that this will all prove to be such a difficult task that it seems probable that the next step is not renewal of America but rather the coming of the Kingdom which even so may involve the renewal of America.
Obviously, there’s one leader who could manage this task.
Which gets us back to prayer ... but we can’t count on this as the solution, and should be ready to search high and low for that one exceptional person who can lead in this messy situation (two years down the road which is even worse to contemplate).
But don’t give up, America is not done. There is a lot of dead weight, and the need for pruning the dead branches. It has happened before. It must happen again. Where would the world find a nation to replace America? I’m speaking by the way as a non-resident and non-citizen of your amazing country. I know my country could not fill that void. There are other powerful nations but none that can blend power with the force for good and for innovation in the world.
And into that vacuum would certainly step forward a host of bad actors. In fact that is exactly what is already well underway and has been for about twenty years at least.
