The often-used adage, “I’m not voting for a Pope, I’m electing a President,” seems to be more applicable recently than in the past.
Think of the United States as a football team or a corporation for a minute. The players on the team take their cue from the coach. For instance, some years back, the coach of the New Orleans Saints was paying bounties to players who put opposing players out of the game with an injury. If the Saints’ coach felt the opposing team’s star running back would threaten the Saints’ winning, he would place a bounty on the player. And whoever put him out of the game was given a cash bonus. Of course, the Saints quickly became known as a ‘dirty team’ that didn’t play very professionally and, worse yet, cheated on the field. The team took its lead from its leader. The Saints, as was the coach, ended up in trouble with the NFL and were fined heavily.
Many corporations throughout history have achieved horrible reputations because of “less than honorable” leadership. One of the more notorious cases is that of Martin Shkreli, who owned several drug companies. Shkreli ended up being prosecuted and spent time in prison for jacking up the price of insulin (a life-saving drug) to gain more profits for his company’s stock on Wall Street. Of course, the companies ended up being despised by most of America, all because of despicable leadership.
Much like when a child says, “Well, dad did it or this athlete did it, so I can do it also,” our nation follows the lead of our elected officials to a large degree. I’ve often said this, and I feel as though it is worth repeating for this article. One of the most damning things to ever happen to our nation was the passing of Lyndon Johnson’s legislation which instituted tax-free status for charitable organizations such as churches. The law created something known as a 501C(3), which, on the surface, was an excellent thing for groups such as the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. However, the darker side of the legislation was the parts that restricted clergy from saying anything political from the pulpit.
Before this legislation, Pastor’s, Priests, Bishop’s, etc., would guide their flock on who was the best candidate to vote for the elected position. In other words, who was the most morally upright person in the race? Therefore, America mostly had the bulk of Capitol Hill attending church on Sunday and leading our nation in a Biblical direction. As a nation, we lost all of that in the early 1960s.
All of our Founding Fathers referred to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, but John Adams may have said it best.
Lest you think Adams’ was wrong, consider this. We actually have state leaders today passing and Governors signing into law minor children being able to have their genitalia altered because they think they are a person of the opposite sex. If the parents attempt to intervene, the child is placed with a state agency or foster care. If that is not bad enough, we have Presidential leadership today who is all but silent on this subject.
The hard truth is most children cannot find their butts with both hands, let alone make life-altering decisions. To prove my point, how often does a young college student change their major after starting college? These are 18,19,20-year-old young people changing their college major three, four, and sometimes more after they enter college. Now you want to say that a twelve, thirteen, or fourteen-year-old knows that they are a girl trapped in a boy’s body?
There was a time in our nation when we would not elect a President who had been divorced. Yes, we had Presidents who had remarried, but it was because of the death of their previous spouse. It would not be until President Ronald Reagan was elected that we had a leader who had divorced his first wife. The next was President Donald Trump, who had been married twice before his current wife, Melania. Divorce is heavily frowned upon in the Bible, and we were a Christian Bible-believing nation at one time in our illustrious history.
The very sad truth is that America, our once revered Christian America, has defaulted to a pleasure-seeking society with almost zero respect for tradition, reverence for modesty, respect for our elderly, and the impoverished. Much of this can be directly placed at the feet of former President Barack Obama. Although some can be directed toward Bill Clinton. Their political ambitions led them to appeal to the more sexual deviants in our society. To gain their favor (and money), they through all morality out of the window. Obama even went so far as to allow crossdressers and trans soldiers in our military. What this has caused is to begin the “normalization” of this behavior, and today, we have the movement to permanently alter our children’s sexual genitalia. If you wonder why 6’3″ men dressed as women are reading to your first grader in school, look no further than Barack Obama and his permissive nature toward our societal normalities.
Pride parades where scantily clad men and women march down the streets of our nation, advertising and promoting sin and sexual deviance permeate our larger cities on a regular basis. Murder rates at historic levels are destroying our great cities, and political corruption at unprecedented levels has taken over our nation’s capital. Our once proud FBI has been turned into a cesspool of corruption to aid and abet a corrupted and deceitful Judicial Branch of our government.
Do you honestly believe for a minute that had President Truman, Eisenhower, or Kennedy had this amount of evidence that Congress has against Joe Biden, would they have been allowed to remain in the Oval Office? Not on your life; they would have been run out of Washington with pitchforks and torches. America would have never tolerated such corruption from a President. Yet, today? Today, it seems as if nobody cares about decency, honor, integrity, or morality in our nation any longer. And we wonder what has happened.
Yes, we deserve what we get in November of 2024.
