I am so saddened by the racist statements and the racist actions of our President. But equally disturbing is the rationalization of so many people who support him. I used to assume that the vast majority of Americans considered racism (or anything close to it) to be abhorrent and something to never be tolerated, and that we should be cautious of even the smallest amount of racism. I am not going to even argue whether or not Donald Trump has racist words and racist actions. It is evident. More than evident. The evidence is before you. Wake up and see the truth! For those who profess to be disciples of Christ and yet rationalize this man's actions, you are either misinformed, or you are hypocrites in the strongest sense of the word. It's beyond politics. This is right vs. wrong.

Since that time, God has poured down His blessings on this land in abundance. He has done this for His own purposes which extend far beyond the blessing of those fortunate enough to be born within its boundaries. Indeed, America was meant to stand as a beacon of light to the entire world. A beacon of freedom, equality, and a hope that people do have the ability to rise above their tyrannical kings and may form their own governments with checks and balances in place sufficient to prevent the otherwise inevitable outcome of tyranny and oppression.
