There is no precedent for what is happening in this election cycle. It's not exciting as it is portrayed. It should be mortifying and humbling.... for it is more of a requiem.....a dirge for a dying nation.
I was raised Democrat and loved, in my intellectual innocence, the Democrat Party as it once was....flaws and all, but this is a new entity today....a mixture of Leftists, Marxists and an assortment of thugs ruling over an aggregate of special interest groups that could find no other home because it was not a home that they wanted but a dispensary of benefits. I'm now in the Republican Party, which is nothing more than a toga party for the patricians, holding virtual elections, the primaries being where one pledges to join with the elites.
This pall over the American landscape that not only blurs our vision but dulls our senses cannot be lifted through the voting booth. God permitted us to form a constitutional republic for His purposes but we turned it into a democracy for our purposes. Isaiah's words could speak to us...."For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion." (9:16 NASB)
