I was a loyal Democrat when the party espoused the worker, the sanctity of life, patriotism and the Constitution. Regretfully, the party left me when it evolved into supporting public funded abortion, removing God from civic space, turning a blind eye to looting and rioting and disrespecting the national anthem. Under the guise of tolerance, this nation has elected people who seem to despise American values and are attempting to erode core beliefs. Political correctness has allowed a vocal minority to change policy, perspective and patriotism.
Do I “love” President Trump? No more than I “loved” previous presidents. All our presidents had flaws. If we are looking for perfection or a “saint,” no candidate is worthy.
Joe Biden’s dream for peace, harmony and unity sounds wonderful. However, this will not be achieved by any elected official, but from a nation that recognizes dependence on our creator, that recognizes the evil of killing innocent lives in utero and that pleads for one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. If we scoff at this, we will reap what we sow.
Give me a candidate who is pro-life, pro-religious freedom and pro-Constitution — political affiliation and personal idiosyncrasies are less significant.
