I did not write this but it certainly captures my thoughts and attention to our current electoral process and people bidding for election and re-election. I encourage you to take a minute and read this thought. Our country is in serious trouble, I dare say on the brink of complete anarchy. Cities and States controlled by Democrats are in the process of collapsing and violence reigns because of spineless Democrat officials. It is escalating and I predict will get worse the closer we get to November 3, 2020. No edits were made to what I have posted.
“The Rowboat Comes For You…Author Unknown
This may be the best and most honest political promotion statement you will ever read. It decidedly does not brush objections aside. READ THIS. Read every single word. It’ll take you about three minutes. Be sure to read to the end. And, read it with your grown-up hat on.
You hate Biden? You hate Trump? You think there’s no choice? We’ve all been dealt huge responsibility with this election. The first step toward responsibility is accepting it, and the first step toward accepting it is recognizing it.
Are you sickened and despondent with the current campaign and upcoming presidential election?
I consider myself a conservative and do truly believe our country is at a political/economic/moral/ social crossroads. I need to let you know I could/would never vote for Joe Biden to lead this country. To me, he represents everything that is wrong with our current political structure. On the flip side, I look and listen to Donald Trump and I cringe at every rude, insulting comment he makes. If you find yourself in a similar state of mind, please read the following article:
A Message For Christians About Donald Trump.
Here’s a famous joke about God and how he talks to us.
“A deeply, faithful Christian man is stuck on a roof at home with massive flooding up to the 2nd floor. A rowboat comes. He says, “No, I’m waiting for God. I prayed and I know he’s coming.” Second rowboat. “No, I’m waiting for God.” Third rowboat. “No, I’m waiting for God.”
Water rises. The man drowns. Now he’s meeting God in heaven. The religious man says, “Where were you God? I prayed. I was faithful. I asked you to save me. Why would you abandon me?”
God says, “Hey, I sent you three rowboats.”
Did you ever consider Trump is our rowboat?
Maybe God is trying to tell us something important — that now is not the time for a “nice Christian guy” or a “gentleman” or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentlemen don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter.
Or do you want another Mitt Romney, Bob Dole, John McCain, Gerald Ford or Paul Ryan? Did any of them win? Did they lead the GOP to “the promised land?” Did they change the direction of America? No, because if you don’t win, you have no say. Paul Ryan couldn’t even deliver his own state, Wisconsin! Nice, but obedient. I mean Paul Ryan, not my dog. My dog is actually a pretty good defender and loyal.
Maybe God is knocking on your door loudly, but you’re not listening. Maybe God understands we need a “war leader” at this moment in time. Maybe God understands if we don’t win this election, America is dead. It’s over. The greatest nation in world history will be gone. Finished. Kaput. Adios.
And with one last breath, maybe what we need to save us at the last second, is someone different. Someone you haven’t ever experienced before — because you weren’t raised in rough and tumble New York where nothing good gets accomplished unless you’re combative, aggressive, outrageous, on offense at all times, and maybe a tad arrogant too.
Someone with a personality you’ve never seen on stage at your church. Maybe, just maybe, being a nice,gentlemanly Christian would not beat Biden and his billion dollars, and his best friends in the media who will unleash the dogs of hell upon the GOP nominee.
I guess you think God is only nice and gentlemanly. Really? Then you’ve missed the whole point of the Bible. When necessary, God is pretty tough. When necessary, God strikes with pain, death and destruction. When necessary, God inflicts vengeance. Maybe you think God couldn’t possibly be associated with someone like Trump. Trump is too vicious, rude and crude.
When we won WWII, was God “nice?” Were we gentlemanly when defeating Hitler? Were we gentlemanly when firebombing Germany? Were we gentlemanly when dropping atomic bombs on Japan? Is God ever “nice” on the battlefield? Or does he send us vicious SOB’s like General George S. Patton so the good guys can defeat evil?
It’s pretty clear to me God sends unique people to be “war leaders.” That’s a different role than a pastor or church leader. God understands that.
And maybe it’s time to re-define “nice.” Maybe Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan aren’t nice at all — because they led us to defeat. And losing again would mean the end of America. And God can’t allow that. Maybe Romney and Ryan mean well, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or maybe they’re just jealous they had their chance and blew it. Maybe they’d rather help elect Biden than allow a Trump victory that would make them look weak, feckless and incompetent.
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” (Isiah 40:30-31).
God is about miracles. We don’t need a “nice guy” or a “gentleman” right now. It’s the 4th quarter and we’re losing 14-0. We need a miracle. So let me repeat my message to Christians: “YOU’RE MISSING THE BOAT.” I believe Trump is our miracle. I believe Trump is our rowboat. Except he’s more like a battleship!
No one is saying Trump is perfect. No one is saying Trump is a perfect conservative. But he is a patriot. He is a warrior. He is a capitalist. He is the right man, at the right time. Yes, he’s rude and crude and offensive. But that may make him the perfect warrior to save America, American exceptionalism, capitalism and Judeo-Christian values. The choice should be easy for Christians. It’s Trump, or it’s the end of the American dream.”
We have friends who grew up in New York and they understand trump precisely. Trump keeps saying that this is the most important election ever. But I think that the election and 2016 was just as important. If Hillary had gotten in then nothing would have come out about how the deep state conspired against trump. This election is just as important as 2016 because the gloves are off and clearly the Marxists/leftists are out to destroy this country, not just Trump. Trump is our Joshua.
One of the biggest problems Stephen is most Americans do not want to fight back because they are afraid of the consequences, whatever they may be, physical or criminal or psychological. I am afraid we are heading for an extremely violent end to our country and way of life. Those groups claiming Marxist ideology are pushing for that end with this mayhem we see going on in the streets. It is coming one way or the other when members of Congress support, encourage, and espouse Marxist ideas as as a true virtues. We are in deep kaka!
Some evangelicals and others of other faiths get upset at Trump for his language, tweets, lack of humility, etc. What I would say is we didn’t elect a preacher we elected someone who could get things done. That’s what he’s good at. Mr Biden will be a tool (if he lasts for any length of time) if the country should be so unfortunate as to elect him.
