Maybe I miss the old days, but then again I never lived
in them. I just crave simplicity and the old fashioned traditional ways of 250
years ago. The America I want has not existed for centuries. It was a nation of
Conservative standards and more Biblical values.
Our Founding Fathers were not innocent choir boys, but
neither were they Liberals either. About a third of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution were trained in
Seminary schools. Even those that weren’t qualified as preachers were at least good
Deists at worst (honoring the majority of the Bible, apart from the miracles).
Today there is a public disease that runs amuck; it is
called “political correctness.” Apart from Donald Trump, virtually no
politicians or public figures say exactly what they think today. Everyone is
afraid that they will offend someone else and therefore hurt themselves.
In the formative years of this once great country,
citizens not only risked their lives, sacred honor, and possessions, but were
willing to suffer ridicule from friends and neighbors that still respected the
Crown. Not today.
No one pacified one another in the old days. Why can’t it
be that way now? Whatever happened to honesty and truth? How about directness?
Today’s politicians mean half of what they say and do less than half of what
they mean to do.
I want an America where abortion is illegal, kids can
pray at school if they choose to, homosexuality is considered wrong by the
masses, the Bible is honored as God’s Word, honest citizens can own guns and
ammo at will, the Constitution is the Law of the Land and not circumvented by
the President, the Supreme Court reads and interprets the Law by the United
States Constitution and according to its intent, murderers are legally
executed, and where people choose to live healthy without smoking cigarettes
and using illegal drugs.
The America I want is much closer to the one I never
lived in, but would have loved. Call me stupid or naïve, but I feel like Donald
Trump wants the same America that I do. I feel like His Presidency would be a
matter of “pride” to him.
