You might find this interesting. This article was written by a man who hates Donald Trump with a vicious passion. Yet, he has a little bit of insight as to what this civil war is about that is going on in our country today.
I am not going to reprint the whole article, but will take excerpts from it and comment. You can find the article at http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article181300286.html
Another point of this article is that it shows that if we already have our biases and prejudices settled in our minds, no amount of reasoning or logic will appeal to us to change our minds about the thing we disdain so much.
The man, Robert Leonard, was asked to watch Trump's Values Voters Summit 2017. He reluctantly watched it and made some observations, which included his understanding of how rural conservatives view Democrats.
Instead of watching it though, he read a copy of the transcript and added his own comments. You can find the transcript here https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-2017-values-voter-summit/
He took excerpts from the transcript and added his comments to them. Here is some of what he wrote:
*Trump began by saying we are a nation of believers and that “together we are strengthened and sustained by the power of prayer.” Democrats want prayer out of the public sphere.
*Trump called the Las Vegas shooting a “horrific mass murder” and an “act of pure evil.” Democrats blame the guns and want to take yours away.
*Trump honored the heroes of Las Vegas, including the police officers and other first responders. Democrats elevate thugs and view our protectors in blue with disdain.
*Trump quotes scripture. Democrats ridicule those who do.
*Trump stresses unity. Democrats divide American society into victims and oppressors.
*Trump says, “We love our country.” Obama went on an international apology tour.
*Trump says, “We cherish the sacred dignity of every human life.” Democrats murder babies.
*Trump says, “We believe in strong families.” Democratic policies pull them apart.
*Trump says, “We are proud of our history.” Democrats tear down monuments.
*Trump says, “We respect our great American flag.” Democrats take a knee.
Even after all this observation, this man, Robert Leonard, is still a vicious Trump hater. Do not be surprised when you read the article of what this man really thinks about Trump.
The point is, the observations are very accurate. Years ago, the Democratic party was more involved in helping the community more and the party itself probably wasn't Leftist as it is today. Things changed over the years. There was a recent time when the Democrats took God out of the picture. They lean toward building a big government and taking away the rights of the people. Do not believe them when they pretend to offer help to the poor. It is a bribe to get the votes from those who live in poverty (and will stay in poverty as long as the Democrats are in control).
Robert Leonard thinks the transcripts of the speech show brilliance. He says that if Obama gave a speech like that, he would have been applauded.
The Democrats seem to see what is going on. But will that change their minds? I doubt it. It is a heart issue, and right now, before our country turns communist, those in charge on the Left will take away boundaries so that people can be 'free'. They promise them freedom, but that kind of freedom will ultimately result in bondage and much heartache.
They want sexual freedom. No restraints. They want to kill or destroy anything that gets in the way of what they want. They want freedom at everyone else's expense. If they have their way, society, as we know it today, will be destroyed. It will implode upon itself. God will intervene and society will crumble.
That's why we need to pray for the church and pray for the country.
