AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVANGELICAL HEROISM

Evangelical Christians have an opportunity for civilian heroism. They can dictate the outcome of the next national election and save their personal freedoms in the process, to say nothing of gaining the respect, admiration, and goodwill of all of America and most of the world.

The Bible is their Guide. What does 1st Corinthians 15:33 say about human nature and behavior?

Spending time with people who continually proclaim falsehoods loosens one's grip on correct belief, inevitably reducing one's moral convictions—evil companionships corrupt good morals.

Those serving Donald Trump and his billionaire class deserve the better life they seek. They should be able to achieve the prosperity and freedom Donald gave away to the billionaires. They need to ask why he did that.

The recent history of these loyal billionaire class servants may not realize they are working against their best interests. Alas, they have fallen prey to a con man promising them -- what is he promising them anyway? These loyal servants have a proud history and tradition. With FDR's help, they prospered until the Hollywood actor conned it away from them the first time.

The forgotten ones yearn to be free. It's a personal thing. Freedom begins at home and in the workplace and is freedom from unhelpful interference. Don't tread on me. Unfortunately, Reagan and his progeny of would-be oligarchs dismantled the very government that was the most help to these forgotten ones and, as a result, widened the chasm between haves and have-nots.

Now comes the universally proclaimed fascist autocrat and would-be dictator, coopting the innocent freedom lovers as slaves to him and his profiteers. Being ruled by the billionaire class is not freedom. The servants are brainwashed with the dogma that preaches there is a god, a scripture to be followed, and a messiah to be worshipped.

Yes, half of Americans are under a spell, indoctrinated by a despot who subjugates them, demands their obedience to enslavement, and requires a life of messiah worship. So is it any wonder the unscrupulous take advantage of the gullible masses who believe the Donald will lead them to the promised land. But look. Before their eyes, only the rich and powerful enjoy the wealth the servant class produces.

This is supposed to be the land of the free. To those who complain about big government and limited opportunities, ask Donald how he plans to improve your life. Be critical and persistent. No platitudes, no worn-out hackneyed phrases, or scapegoating Democrats. Make him be specific, and then grill him on how he intends to get the makings of your better life done. Go ahead. It's your life; press him. Pin him down. He gave money to the rich and ran up the deficit. Ask him why he did that; why didn't you get a chunk of the billions he gave to the billionaires.

You are a great people; your ancestors built this economy with the help of FDR. You can do it again. Start by throwing out the money changers. You can break the shackles of enslavement to the billionaire offshore money hoarders. Get back your share. At long last, you deserve it.

And you can be free. Really and personally free. All you have to do is declare it so at the ballot box. Any vote for other than Donald and his ilk is a vote for your freedom and prosperity because the alternative group has plans to help you.
