How Democrats abandoned the working class and spurred rise of Donald Trump
The New York Post ^ | March 12, 2016 | Kyle Smith

Inequality has risen. Jobs are going overseas. The more the stock market rises, the more the working class feels crushed by globalization.

And all of this has occurred exactly as Democrats have engineered it. Stuff happens, they say. The truth hurts.

Take it from Larry Summers, once one of President Obama's leading economic advisers: "One of the challenges in our society is that the truth is kind of an equalizer," Summers reportedly said in a candid moment in 2009. "One of the reasons that inequality has probably gone up in our society is that people are being treated closer to the way that they're supposed to be treated." (Summers this week denied saying this.)

The elite professional class, in the 1950s one of the Republican party's most reliable constituencies, became the very heart of the Democrats by the 1990s. The party of labor morphed into the party of lawyers. This didn't happen by accident....

Manipulate the peasants and make them miserable by breaking everything. This translates into votes for the people who promise new laws to fix everything. Lawyers understand this scam.

Two sides of the same coin. The looting of the American economy continues.

Well, it looks like the Obummer team has been hell bent on wanting the blessed status of the USA to be brought low.

It looks quite likely that Trump will in fact make it. But Trump alone won’t be able to work a revolution in America. That will have to be a work of the people themselves, or rather a work of God towards a people who humbles themselves enough to realize their deep need of God, seek God’s face, and turn from wicked things to righteous things. This would be the church IN America, which is different from a synthetic blend of the church AND American government, which has never worked well and frequently whitewashed evil. Trump is refreshingly free of such theological aspirations, which would greatly pollute what he wants to do. He proposes to be a good secular governor (what Jesus sometimes called Caesar, though some people bristle at the term). It’s up to the church to be a channel, faithful to the bible once more, of such aspirations, independently.

The Dems want to humiliate America.

The Pubs want to roll in mammon but care little about the rest of America.

Not an auspicious recipe.

The church has been corrupted as much as every other institution in the US. The National Council of Churches is a big UN Agenda 21 backer. The effort required to bring churches back under local control will be nearly insurmountable.

Not too big for the Cross to surmount.

The problem happens when we see it as a burden of man. Impossible! And we’d be quite right.

When we see it as a burden of God... Possible! And in fact inevitable if a people declares, not their strength, but their weakness and need of help before God.

And NCC or no NCC... the Protestant spirit is quite alive. It’s as easy to walk out of the NCC as it was previously to walk into it, once one actually sees the Lord.

The Name Above All Names will not suffer itself to be hidden forever, and once it appears, it will starkly outrank any world name.

Actually,

“How Democrats and Republicans abandoned America and spurred the rise of Donald Trump.

They are Uniparty’ists that care about power and money and could give a rats rear end about the Constitution and core American values.
