“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me (wisdom) will your days be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff … you will bear it alone.”
– Proverbs 9:10-12
Well, America went to the polls. At least 120 million or so of us did.
Over 56 million voted one way, for one direction, for one set of principles – and some 58 million voted for an entirely different set. And so the larger group takes all of us, the whole of America, in their chosen direction.
Without going into all the specifics, the lesser number voted for fiscal responsibility, limited government, respect for the Constitution and law itself, proven experience in management and success in financial matters, and adherence to time-honored, biblical values. For strong military defense, commitment to Israel and traditional families. Dull stuff like that.
The larger number (though just enough to gain dominance) enthusiastically voted for Big Brother socialist government, “redistributing the wealth,” anti-biblical values, geometric growth in national debt, a weak vacillating defense and a sapped, hamstrung military, relativistic disdain for the law and the Constitution itself, and more Marxists and socialists appointed to positions of power – including our Supreme Court – in the months ahead.
And the group most responsible for this decisive turn in our national destiny is the sizable group of eligible voters who stayed home, thereby voting for the inevitable outcome – by their absence, their laziness, their ignorance and irresponsibility.
Voters who stayed home rather than participate in this past hoax election were not lazy, ignorant or irresponsible. They were the only ones who demonstrated any common sense and self-respect.
