THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL
A political script is being written on the wall and
the majority of Americans are reading it.
It
wasn’t conservatives who fought the battle that brought down the Great Wall of
Jericho.
It
wasn’t a conservative who said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first
stone.”
It
wasn’t a conservative who rebuked the church leaders and developed new
inclusive policies for the Christian Church.
It
wasn’t conservatives who fought for religious freedom within the original
thirteen American colonies.
It
wasn’t a conservative who wrote, “All men are created equal.”
It
wasn’t conservatives who fought for women’s right to vote.
It
wasn’t conservatives who fought to end slavery on American soil.
It
wasn’t conservatives who passed the Social Security Act of 1935.
It
wasn’t conservatives who enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It
wasn’t conservatives who passed the Fourteenth Amendment giving all citizens
equal rights under the law.
It
wasn’t conservatives who fought to give all children a quality education by
integrating public schools.
It
wasn’t conservatives who have fought for over two hundred years to gain equal
rights for all minorities including LGBT citizens.
It
was not conservatives on the Supreme Court that passed the Marriage Equality
Act.
It
has not been conservatives who have fought to provide free meals for hungry
children.
It
has not been conservatives who have fought for the rights of women to receive
equal pay for equal work.
It
has not been conservatives who have fought for increased pay raises for America
workers.
It
has not been conservatives who have fought to provide universal health care for
all Americans.
Everything that has made America a better
place for humans has been accomplished through a progressive agenda.
If you believe that conservative principles
have brought progress to the United States, you need to do one thing. Forget
about praying for others, forget about being down on your knees, but stand in
front of a mirror and look yourself directly in the eyes and pray for yourself,
because your mental capacity is in need of prayer.
The agenda that is standing in the way of
American progress is the political system. All other systems are on go. Every recent public opinion poll proves that
the majority of Americans are ready to move on. Americans have seen the harm
caused by discrimination and are now ready for a better day. Americans realize
that same-sex marriage has caused absolutely no harm to anyone and now is the
time to move forward. An overwhelming
majority of Americans have learned that there are benefits to medical marijuana
and Americans are ready for nationwide legalization.
The conservative Southern Bible Belt will
soon be a thing of the past. Although
there are still a few grandmas and grandpas who are trying to teach their
grandchildren to hold on to the principals of the Confederate Southland, their
grandchildren are rejecting the outdated policies. In a matter of a few years,
institutions such as the Southern Baptist Church will disappear if they do not
change. They must change leadership or change policies. Today, membership in
conservative churches is on a rapid decline. The only Christian organizations
gaining members are those taking progressive steps to meet the needs of a
modern society.
It was only a few years ago that the
esteemed godfather of the Republican Party spoke the profound words, “Mr.
Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL.” Now the leader of the Republican Party has
developed a rallying cry, “BUILD THAT WALL.” History has not been kind to the
building of walls, and it is difficult to believe that in November the majority
of Americans will allow themselves to be confined behind an IRON CURTAIN. In
all probability Americans will reject isolationist policies. The globalization
process will demand that America continue to be a part of the global
society.
The majority of Americans are demanding real
change. President Obama, through a multitude of difficulties, laid the
foundation for major change in America. Bernie Sanders listened to the voices
of young Americans and has been instrumental in including many changes in the
political party platform. If elected president, it is believed that Hillary
Clinton will continue the progress. For every drop of blood that has been shed,
for every body part that has been sacrificed, and for every emotion that has
been shattered on the battlefield, the hope for a better America is just around
the corner. From the dark shadows of
America’s busy streets, from the lowlands of the ghettos, or from the backside
of nowhere, a leader will emerge. This leader will be able to use millions of
one-dollar donations to lead Americans into the Promised Land.
God is tired of discrimination being
disguised as a righteous robe of dignity. God is tired of the love of his son
being turned into hate. Rest assured—the handwriting is on the wall.
