****Dispatch.....Thurs 08:06**** It looked like it might be one the best calls in over a year on any of the conservative radio talk shows......and one of the very few that was critical of President Trump that the call screeners let in....it lasted about one minute and then the caller....someone who worked tirelessly for candidate Trump.... was just about to make his key point .....and then the call went blank....Alex Marlowe said......"Oh did we lose the caller?....That's too bad." I didn't laugh....and I didn't scream.....it was somewhere in between.
Pennsylvania held its Republican primary yesterday. I showed up because too many had sacrificed to give us this right. Beginning today those now official Republican candidates will sound like real true conservatives. Oh the unction that they will appear to have to restore America to what it once was. They'll sound like they really believe what they are saying.....and the tactics that they use will be to warn us about the Democrats taking power....to embellish President Trump's successes and even invent some.....totally ignore his many egregious backslidings....and to then tell us how President Trump needs their support in Congress! If they do win....if God even permits more time to pretend that we reverence Him.....they will fall in line behind the elites like they always do. The following post is from March of 2014....we're still here....you do not have a clear path.....you cannot just substitute Donald Trump's disjointed, contradictory and downright deceptive MAGA agenda for the efforts of conservative Americans over decades and expect all of us to fall for it. You cannot cover up his vindictiveness....his artlessness.....his manipulations.....or his returning the establishment to power and glory.
"In the beginning of the English Civil War the Earl of Manchester was Oliver Cromwell's superior. Cromwell considered him slow, indecisive and lacking enthusiasm in opposing the tyranny and incompetence of the king. Manchester, for his part, was more concerned with Oliver Cromwell recruiting men of 'low birth' for his army....uh, that would be men like me. Cromwell's philosophy was different as shown here in a quote from a letter to others in the Parliamentary forces, "I beseech you be careful what Captains of Horse you choose....a few honest men are better than numbers....If you choose godly honest men to be Captains of Horse, honest men will follow them."
The 1970 film Cromwell starred Richard Harris as Oliver Cromwell. The Earl of Manchester (Republican Party of today) was showing hesitance in opposing the king (Obama of 2014) Incensed, Cromwell promised something like this, "I am going to defeat this king's army, even if I have to go through Manchester first!"
And we did.....if you don't mind my using the pronoun 'we'....we went through the Republican establishment first before taking on the Obama/Clinton cabal. I bring this post back today....for even though our hope is that the return of Jesus Christ is at the very doorstep as our country and the entire world utterly collapses in chaos....and even though we are fewer in numbers today....that we will not roll over for you. To the Rush Limbaugh element.....if it turns out that our numbers are bigger than what you might expect....and you are concerned.....then stop presenting Donald Trump to us on a throne with a crown on his head.....and treat him like any other politician......which is what he is. We can deal with that.....but we are not entering any earthly throne room.....for there is only one throne room for us.
"Mr. Boehner...and Mr. McCain...and Mr. Mitchell....and Mr. Graham....and Mr. Rove...and Mr. Bush.....we are not alone. We are Americans who trust in their God and recognize His hand in all of creation, His omniscience and omnipotence in forming this people, His power in sustaining us though we often strayed far away, and also His warnings to us after years and years and years of our increasingly ignoring Him..... the continuance of which you are advocating (and still advocating)..... your third and most egregious mistake. You have become impervious to common sense, to wisdom or to any light in your darkened halls of power.
America's future does not lie in these elections that the Republican Party (and now conservatives) (are) selling more than its birthright for; and the winners of these elections will have no power that God does not permit and no wisdom that God does not give, for His purposes and to His glory! Our duty is to elect God-fearing leaders (not just 'God bless America' parrots) and pray for God's mercy knowing that His will is perfect, and that it may or may not include the United States of America as a source of stability in the world or even an entity in itself.
Celebrate your polling figures (President Trump approval ratings) all that you want. We'll celebrate a risen Savior and a returning King. Yes, we'll follow Luther's advice to 'plant a tree,' to continue to work, even if we knew for certain that Jesus was returning the very next day, but you might want to take notice of Oliver Cromwell's words to the 'establishment' of his day in:
"I had rather a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that you call a Gentleman (a Senator) and is nothing else"."
