"I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
Most Americans think this year's election of 2016 is about Hilary and Trump. I stated that it is an election of a choice: It is a choice between a totally Socialist country and that of a Capitalistic Republic nation. However, a friend of mine changed my thinking. She says, "It is about good and evil."
She has me thinking: "Where is the justice when the President, DOJ, IRS, FBI and many of the media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) corrupt, and out to promote the election of Hilary Clinton?
At least there are those of FOX and radio hosts such as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Eric Bolling of the "Five" that say they are for Donald Trump. I do not hear this disclosure from the others.
All of the above "Evil" can be reversed by voting for the right persons for all three branches of our government.
I make a suggestion that we God fearing persons pray that our Creator gives us the right people to preserve our Great Godly Nation. May I suggest a modified "Lord’s Prayer?"
Our Parent, who art in Heaven, hollow be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth and in the United States of America, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread by making us prosperous and deliver us from evil; keep us a Godly loving, compassionate, Nation…Amen

I think it's sad that so many Christians are willing to turn a blind eye to what a horrible and ungodly man Donald Trump is, in the vain hope that through him they can stop abortion. This is a man who just a few years ago stated he was for abortion and may very well be phony about it now for political expedience, but hope springs eternal.
For years I've told anti-abortion fanatics, "Go ahead-- make abortion illegal. That'll stop it. No one will get an abortion once it's illegal!" Their response is totally blank. Now of course if abortion was made illegal, there will be doctors who choose to perform it discreetly. It would take the most comprehensive anti-liberty regime to put a stop to that. A high price to pay.
Women who cannot find such a doctor will go to back-alley amateurs. Or maybe self-abort. Both of which are very risky options. To that, the moralists will merely sniff, "Well, they shouldn't be doing that anyway!” like they get what they deserve.
Bottom line, for an objective that cannot really be achieved, they are willing to sell their political souls to the devil. To ignore every other relevant issue, just for the sake of something that can never really be stopped. It's sad. And it's a disservice to America.
