Saints They Ain’t

I find it absolutely fascinating, if not terribly hypocritical, concerning how many people are coming after the character of President 45. There is no doubt, that this guy has a lot of flaws, and that he has done some bad things in the past. (Who hasn’t... something comes to mind about casting stones?) And yet, very few want to acknowledge or to give him any credit for the fact that he acknowledges that God is the reason that he was spared from the assassins bullet.  I would tend to agree with him on that. How can you not? (Naw…it was all just “luck.”) However, the entire terrifying experience seems to have done him some good in the long run. 

But the continued attention given to the New York trial and convictions is way over the top in my opinion. It was all an enormous sham…the trial, as well as the convictions. It was all politically motivated mish mash. 45 could have pursued the same course of action with Hillary over a host of issues (Whitewater, Benghazi, etc), but chose not to do so. Then there are all of Bill C’s shenanigans with Gennifer Flowers (not to mention Monica L.)…Nixon (‘nuff said)…and JFK(?). I mean, let’s take a look at JFK. He was a serial philanderer, made some shady deals, and according to some people who are in the know, “was not a very good guy.” Perhaps the funniest, most ironic thing of all, is that JFK’s nephew…RFK Jr…has decided to drop out of the race and is endorsing…that’s right—president 45! Talk about your bad company corrupting good morals!  So, let’s be real…there are not many Mother Teresas in high levels of  authority…maybe Jimmy Carter. (And Ronald R. had to clean up his giant mess in Iran).  But once again…JFK may have had his issues…but he is EXACTLY who this country needed for such a time as that time. We are in a similarly volatile location as a nation right now. We need someone who can lead us through these choppy waters…figuratively (and likely literally). And even though I would love to have a pastor in Chief, a Jimmy Carter as president every four years, the bottom line is, they are not going to lead us in the way that we need to be led in a very dangerous world.
