I deleted yesterday's post if anyone is looking for it. When I wrote it, I didn't feel comfortable after I finished it, but kept it up for about half a day yesterday, then deciding to just remove it all together. It was NOT one of my better posts. I am back to politics in the US this morning, because political pundits here in the US are saying that this political season has seen many things we have NOT seen before. How can any person without ANY political experience be on the ballot for the Presidency of the US in November? I know there are readers who don't understand what it takes to run for the highest office in the Free World. We have a two party system whereby EVERY single of the 50 states has a run-off for the nomination of a person from each political party. In some years we have had three parties represented on the ballot, but in most election years it's two. Out of those elections for each party in every one of our 50 states emerges a winner based on whether he or she gets more votes than any other person from that party. It takes us from early February to late May for all 50 states to hold what are called “primaries” for each party. Then there are conventions for each party during the summer. The actual campaign then for the presidency from the two major candidates lasts from late August when the conventions are over until the day of the election on the first Tuesday of November during a political year. We elect a new president every four years and a sitting president can only serve two consecutive terms.
It's just that the Republican party, which is the Conservative party here in the US, has now one candidate after beginning with 17. The other party began with four and now it is down to just two. What many in the US have been asking themselves is how did this person from the Conservative party become that party's nominee. Well, actually, it's simple to answer. He was a quirk from the beginning and simply gobbled up the air time on national news networks, because he was such a quirk. It's that simple. He didn't have to pay for advertising. In fact, the only thing he's really had to pay for are his own travel expenses and his meager staff to do the work. His organization was the media. And this is how we got to this point. Many in the US are asking how we got to this point that a TV personality is now one party's nominee for President of the US. Well, I would say that at least one party imploded from within. They refused to work with President Obama and many people in this country simply decided they didn't want professional politicians in Washington any longer. And that is it in a nutshell.
Now, I didn't give myself much space to conclude what I wanted to say today, but if you are concerned about what is happening in the US after reading all you have been reading about our elections coming in November, do NOT despair. Everything works in life for the glory of God. All we need is patience and there isn't much in this life we cannot understand. Believe that NOTHING is more important to God than Human Life and you will KNOW that God is NOT going to allow humanity to wipe itself from the face of this earth. When it comes to choosing people who have their fingers on the one button that can destroy this world, believe me when I say that God doesn't allow ANYONE to destroy His creation. He has a place for those who purposely take Human Life and that place is NOT heaven. The US might be imploding from within, but no one wants an idiot in control of all the weaponry that can destroy the world. This is NOT only true of the US, but it is true of EVERY nation in the world. Relax and KNOW that God has NOT left His post or that He's even out of His mind. Peace.
