So anyhow, Jim, God, when the time for His acceptance comes, really does bring a yeehaw back to America. I’ve been an aspiring songwriter for many years, though not with a huge audience (my most popular pieces have maybe 800 listens on Soundcloud). I come from the redneck, country, cowboy point of view, not even because that was how I was raised but because that is what looked like heroes to me. It turns out that a good poetic case can be made for Jesus being a redneck!!
No, fallen us can’t just get along. Not without help that is so fundamental that it goes to our soul. America should be proud... proud of God, that is. And I think I see signs that it might be headed to be just that. In fact I have my hands in such a sign. Please pray for my success here, Jim. Because it really will add to America’s success if I succeed too. More than all the other yack I have ever yacked on FR.
Well I’d sure call that a rather cynical view.
There is, happily, more to the story.
It is a story of sin and salvation. What happened when America dug in to chattel slavery uber alles? Riiiight. States rights became cheap and tawdry. The Civil War came. “The Battle Hymn Of The Republic” anybody?
No, those slave owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay taxes... to an ever more usurping king, a foreign agent to them. Were these males wearing perfect stainless halos? No. But they were a figure of what was to come. “No king but Jesus!” they proclaimed. And Jesus proceeded to hold America to that.
And America didn’t really release the slaves. It Jim Crowed them. Which is not the real rednecks’ fault. They had picked their own cotton. The Jim Crowers are basically our Democrat party, and those folks often did tend to have aristocratic mindsets.
So did the end of Jim Crow end the racket? Nope. Now these folks tried to BUY the allegiance of the slaves, using OUR money!
I think God has finally said “enough” to this. The left will shrink to the amazingly small thing its minds already were, before the resolutely honest Donald Trump phenomenon. Now the slaves will be set free.
No, just their money. But if government steals it from you on their behalf, it's all good.
Red, As we both know, God often works through agents or surrogates. That’s US!

Gotta be really careful with that, because there are something like 10,000 excuses to glorify ourselves. If God weren’t so PATIENT with this, as we whittle it down to 9,999 then 9,9998 etc. then we’d all just go to hell tout suite.
I have been warning parents about this for years. No loyal American in his/her right mind would subject a child to this anti-American indoctrination. But a countless number of parents are now so thoroughly indoctrinated that they have now become complicit in turning their own children against our country.
The older community school houses were not nearly as prone to this, when the community was more nearly of one heart and voice.

And when the teachers were under the watchful eyes of the parents, whose vigorous denunciation of a teacher was grounds for immediate dismissal. Teachers unions have ruined the local school systems in America.

This was one is good for understanding the “why” of our form of government, how God worked through faithful men to bring this nation not being.
