Making America Great Again

[Irwin Fletcher]

Honestly, as an American citizen who has lived 19 years of my life in other countries, I really appreciate how there are many things great about America. I can also appreciate that most of them come from our Christian heritage and a few brilliant ideas that went into the forming of the initial constitution and government. I do love the idea of America because of that, but there is a difference between wanting a "great" America and putting my hope into politics and elected officials and while how we vote is significant. I don't ever want that to be something that the outcome of leaves me either depressed or ecstatic. True Christianity must be carried out at the grassroots level, not the government level that is where it has the greatest impact. I feel me need more of that for the significant issues we see around us to have real progress.

Here are some expanded thoughts if anyone is interested: The American Gospel

They will believe America is great... Exceptional... And that American people are special and chosen.

The United States of America has definitely come along way from forcing Indigenous people off their lands, slavery, Jim Crow laws, denying POC civil rights and equality, and denying women and POC the right to vote. But there's no honesty in denying that our country has a very dark history plagued with racism and discrimination against POC and patriarchal sexism against women. Personally, I've never been supportive of American Exceptionalism myself and I've never considered the United States of America to be the greatest nation to have ever graced the Earth.

Actually, I tend to look more at our current problems than our past sins. Like over 50 million innocent babies killed in the name of "a woman's right to choose."

That's also a valid point, Prayer Warrior.

This is a few ideas I have.

1. Re-elect Trump

Does anybody else have anymore ideas?

Yes, ban anyone who promotes or speaks in favour of Donald Trump in any manner whatsoever (especially on a Christian forum), from every public forum under the sun. And then throw them in prison.

Please tell me that you're being sarcastic.

Slightly.

Slightly.

That's good enough for me then.

This is a few ideas I have.


1. Re-elect Trump

2. Start making arrests with BLM members

3. Stop trying to turn this nation into a communist country.

4. Develop a cure for Covid-19

Track down the true source of the virus. Follow the money trail that gave Communist China almost the entire industry of making our meds. Make public how our many politicians became filthy rich while in office. Find out how many secret bank accounts they have and make public. When Obama was leaving office he gave Iran over one billion $$$ IN CASH. Find out how much his cut was.

Yes. I will be voting for Biden

Of course we need the baby-killers in power again because 50 million plus dead babies in the U.S. isn't enough!!! ***SARCASM***

 

[Brakelite]

No offense, Backlit, but I wish I was as much an expert on what Americans think as you are (and some of the other dern ferriners on this forum). I mean, I could write a book and make a million. You're kind of overgeneralizing, don't you think?

If course I am. It's the only way I will get anyone's attention lol.

 

[Seven of Nine]

Yes. I will be voting for Biden

As a political Independent, I'm considering voting for Biden too. I have a friend who recommended Republicans Voting Against Trump and the Lincoln Project. I watched quite a few videos of Republicans who shared their reasons why they're turning against Trump and voting for Biden.

I agree with 3, 4, and 5. I'm still undecided about Biden and unsure about Hillary Clinton.

And I agree with much of what you've said, yet would add that I firmly believe in America's prophetic destiny, which is a mixture of opportunity for God's people but a sad and ignominious end.

Dang straight we are and if you don't like it kim jong un has need of you. The stupid liberals talk that that way and they ain't worth a plug nickel.

You sure your name isn't John wayne?

1: Relelect Trump, cause the other alternative looks like socialism again from the democrats.

2: Hold rioters responsible like other criminals, and do not have prejudice against ordinary criminals by giving rioter criminals lighter sentencing.

3: Work on global warming by coming up with science that can profit the USA economy again and put us in the tech frontier.

4: Hold democratic governors responsible for allowing criminal acts against their citizens by rioters. It is in my opinion unlawful for a governor to not protect their citizens against crimes.

5: Find a Cure for Cancer, Covid and other diseases.

6: Have Christian courses given in schools as an optional course with credits. Keep God in our government but keep God as generic as possible to represent all Godly denominations.

7: Etc, I got more

I agree with all of them but could you please explain number three more?
