Your Mission.....Should You Accept It

         Donald Trump as Time Magazine's pick for Person of the Year was expected and President-elect Trump was a very logical pick. Obviously it would have been Hillary had she been awarded the election. Time Magazine likes to throw a curve ball every once in a while and give the award to a group of people or an idea or even an inanimate object. I'll hear the news on who they picked each year but have never actually read the accompanying article for Person of the Year. Well I shouldn't say 'never have read' for back when there was a legitimate journalistic media in America I did read Time. In fact one of the fondest memories of my high school academics was that we had to read one of the opinion articles from U. S. News & World Report every week and give a report on it.
         Anyway, had not Donald Trump been so obvious a pick then I think that conservative talk radio would have been the ticket and here is why. This mass of kinetic energy that covered the landscape with Trump signs from Easton to Boise (east of Easton and west of Boise...eh...not so kinetic), this army of Minutemen, this patriotic, educated and intellectually armed throwback to Valley Forge would not have survived the winters of our discontents had not conservative talk radio been leading the way.
         This was our Publius, our Thomas Paine, our Benjamin Franklin and our John Locke transmogrified into waves of electromagnetic radiation travelling at the speed of light into every kitchen and workroom and automobile in America. The mainstream media, our betters as they perceive themselves to be, tried to keep the truth from us but utterly failed. We went through basic training all the way up to OCS at the instruction of radio and books and our own Constitution...all synchronized by common sense and reason....rare in the cities but abundant outside of them. The only thing that we needed was a George Washington to lead us. Well...we didn't get him.....but we did get Donald Trump. Considering that you could probably count the George Washingtons that America has had on the fingers of one hand...I guess we could have done a whole lot worse.
         These stellar stars that we navigated by through a perfect storm wrapped in a cosmic disturbance that threatened every foundation laid in the latter half of the eighteenth century....these men and women kept the heat on and the powder dry. Their mission now.....a much more difficult mission this time.....should they accept it....is to bring God into the equation...but first they themselves have to realize that God alone rules in the affairs of men....and that is where our pulpits come in. Please pray for the men in them.

Note to those outside of the United States: This is essentially what happened in our recent election. Donald Trump won 83 to 85% of the counties in America and this in spite of a grotesquely biased news media and a couple million votes from people who were not even eligible to vote. This also is why we have an Electoral College system!
