So what do we do now? Our awakening of the 70s and 80s probably began to wane in 1992. The evangelical was riding high at the time....not riding very smartly....but riding high. Tipper Gore's book Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society was very popular in the evangelical community and I knew that it would be problematic when Bill Clinton choose Al Gore for his running mate. It didn't begin in 1992 but the downfall of the United States of America certainly took a giant step with the emergence of the Clintons.
We were sure that George W. Bush was a Christian.....not a fake like the Clintons and Al Gore....but how wrong we were....for he represents a nominal Christianity that cannot save. We then....as all Americans....were shaken to the core by 9/11....not only by the attack itself but by the overwhelming evidence over the ensuing seven years that there was something seriously wrong in a large percentage of the American public....and then it was proved out as disaster struck in the sudden emergence and election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States....but we endured and fought back.....that fight coming to a crescendo as it looked as if Hillary Clinton would succeed President Obama.
We didn't have any heavyweights to really challenge her....good men....and Carly Fiorina....but no real heavyweights....and then out of the crystal blue sky....peeking through above Jared Kushner's The 666 monstrosity and the Trump Tower came Donald John Trump. The Democrats knew more of who he was for he was really one of them. His celebrity was made in their hood. We just knew him as a brash egotistical billionaire....and thought that we could live with that.
He touched that within us that was patriotic....but he also mined that part of the soul that was blind and deaf to warnings of the quicksand of power and slippery slopes of greed. Half of us knew that there was a big problem here but there were a few too many of us splitting the primary vote. Still....Hillary loomed on the horizon and once all was said and done with the nomination process we set our attention on the task at hand....and we all celebrated in the wee hours of November 7th, 2016.
I should be a little bit more specific.....we did have heavyweights but they were in talk radio....and one by one a now President Trump battered them into submission. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity were knocked out in the first round when President Trump bought Ivanka and Jared and others into the Oval Office....and will probably never be the same conservative fighters that they once were. Mark Levin won a couple of rounds while challenging Donald Trump but then suddenly just said....no mas.
Blood and sweat blurred our vision as to who Donald Trump was turning out to be. The roar of the crowd struck fear into our opponents as the glamorous Ivanka circled the ring holding high the number of the round. The President himself is battered....swinging wildly....confused and delusional at times....but still shouting...."I am the greatest"....as his cornermen leave one by one.
As for us....the evangelicals.....we're now just like any other fight crowd.....faces contorted as we shout for more blood...."lock her up!"...."lock who up?"...."lock'em all up!" Political bookies have come out of the woodwork with the midterm elections at hand....with each election being billed as the most important ever....demanding that we lay more money down or maybe lose it all. The mob has long since taken over this fight between a God-fearing conservatism and godless communism.
