I hope (can I dare say I am, er, optimistic?) that it comes to an end, but on the other hand there are tomfools and lurkers all over the place. That alone guarantees it won’t. We regulars, at best, can start refusing to take the bait.

I try to be Fox-y, that is, fair and balanced. I think I know what the dangers are for America, and they aren’t even in the political sphere, but the spiritual one.

However, even if Billy Graham became president, this wouldn’t do a thing about the situation. How could it? The government is a Caesar thing; the church is a believer thing; never did God ask them to mix except in the entity He called Israel.

I could see the possibility of Cruz making it, but it doesn’t look like he is pursuing the grace of God, which probably leaves it to Trump, who seems more of a Balaam’s Donkey sort of figure than anything else. He’s here mainly to tell off the liars and otherwise be a pretty fair Caesar, friendly to Christians.

Real salvation for America will come, if it does, in the form of a revival of its collective church, the body of all believers. It needs to get the point that Caesar isn’t its agent but God is. This will possibly appear as an unusual answer to things like the prayer-in-schools issue, that faith will come in through the kids and Caesar, while not formally leading it, will speak well of it.
