A Life Conflicted

Wasp nest!

Of two opinions? Divided within yourself?  According to the teaching in the bible if you are thus you are unstable in, not some, but  in all your ways!

James 1:8King James Version (KJV)
⁸ A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

For the past nine years I have been watching "conservative" politics in the Unites States of America, dumbfounded, befuddled, bemused and frankly confused.  The say speak of "conservative values" with an air of arrogance, as if to say, they are better than non-conservatives.  Before Barak Obama decided to run for President I really didn't get too involved with American politics.  Sure I would know who the major contenders are, but apart from hearing pertinent news broadcasts and reading an article here and there I didn't follow too keenly.  President Obama changed all that.

  When I heard that the GOP was the  Conservative Party, the political party that prides itself in "Christian values" I really expected the majority of this electorate group and the leaders to be upstanding citizens of impeccable character.  It didn't take very long for me to realize how off-base, or more like how off the hinge this political party really was!  Actions speak louder than words, they say, and there is no finer example than the GOP for they say the care about people, they have Christian values and have the "Evangelical" vote locked up and yet everything they do is in direct contradiction to what they preach.

The 2016 election cycle has taken this conflictedness to a whole new level.  Of course, as they say like attract like, the GOP has managed to lock-down this segment of the American society.  As I watch and listen to the Candidates, especially the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, pundits and surrogates I just cant stop shaking my head, but I have to stop before it falls off.  We should not be too shocked though, because this is a demonstration of the collective consciousness of the people.  They are revealing their true selves before the whole world - saying, this is who we are and this is what we believe.  No more, no less, so don't be samfied.

I truly believe that America is at a crossroad and the outcome of this election will be a clear indication of which direction the country will be taken.  It is a clear choice between light and darkness.

Wake up American, the world is watching!
