Dear Rush....The following was a post from March of 2014.....when we were united against politicians who just used us.....flattered us....then lied....and come election time would tell us that this was the most important election in history....and then the cycle would begin again. It's just a little reminder to you....of the way we were....that we wanted what was right....and not what politicians told us that we just had to have. I do not know how many of us we are right now....it may be a relatively insignificant number ....but I do know this....that number can only go up....because every day more conservatives find out that candidate Trump was a figment of his own imagination. We are united with you today in wanting America to protect our Constitution and defend America against enemies from within and from without....but you want to do it through the shady dealings of Donald Trump's mind....some bullying....a lot of friendly deception....and a fair amount of just plain greed.....we won't go there....we will never go there.
The Republican Party And Its Discontents....March 2014
.......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..... 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 is 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 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 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 and is nothing else."

Folks, if you are concerned that evangelicals are being drawn in by men who wouldn't darken the doorway of a church unless there is political gain.....and that our real hope is now in an earthly prince and not Jesus Christ.....then please pass these posts along......for the real dangers of the day cannot be dealt with in executive orders.......but will require wisdom.....which comes from humility and a genuine and reverential fear of the Lord.
