". . . That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham LincolnThat Trump is not Lincoln is certain. Perhaps, after the last decade of decline in American Constitutional awareness, he is only the "bell ringer" to awaken citizens to action, as well as the politicians in both Parties who failed them and the Constitution.
If those citizens seem to come from the Taxed Enough Already movement, the Christian Evangelical movement, and even from those others who have appeared to be in an almost hypnotic state of concern about America's status, then they may come from that portion of the citizenry most likely to be trustworthy arbiters in the battle between America's founding ideas and those of so-called "progressive" politicians and their mind-controller-"we-know-better-than-you" political operatives.
Many citizens within those groups have done independent study of the founding ideas, and they know that liberty is at risk when so-called "change" agents who, like Hillary, believe in the counterfeit ideas of socialism and "progressive" erasing of America's founding ideas, are in charge of the nation's future.
Remember, Paul Revere is said to have been a "peripheral" factor in the Revolutionary War for Independence, but he was an important link in that historical event which changed the world. Revere, too was a successful business man and craftsman.
Our own LS posts on his web site:
"He designed and printed the first Continental money; made the first official seal for the colonies and the seal of Massachusetts (still used today); directed the manufacture of gunpowder in Canton; and eventually commanded a garrison at Castle William in 1779. After the Revolution, Revere’s foundry provided copper accessories and other metal items for the U.S.S. Constitution , better known as “Old Ironsides.” His Revere silver to this day remains a popular style of dinner ware, and his rolling process for sheet copper provided copper plates for Robert Fulton’s Clermont, the first steam vessel. As a businessman, patriot, artist, civic leader, husband, and father, Paul Revere has remained a legendary figure of the American Revolution."Others had to assume their individual roles as the philosophical foundation articulators who wrote the "Declaration of Independence" and framed the "Constitution of the United States of America," and served as Presidents and Legislators and Justices under the limitations and bounds of that Constitution.
If, indeed, there is a "movement," then the "movement" must assert its will to hold its leaders to strict adherence to the Constitution.
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. - Justice Joseph StoryNo man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country. - Daniel Webster
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. - Daniel Webster
America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin

Yup! Agreed!
God can do anything He wants.
Sometimes He does so using the help of people and sometimes He does so on His own :)
Out of curiosity, how many people typically attend Gov Pence’s rallies? Probably more than what Her Henious usually draws. And compared to Cuckboy Kaine, he was in Miami the other day, a safe zone. Even with the help of a local rapper he drew less than 100.
