Politics
I can honestly say I have never seen an election like the 2016 presidential election! It is definitely a very interesting race. One of our candidates is a multibillionaire businessman. The other is our first female nominee who is the wife of a former president and the former secretary of state for our current president.
While it is a landmark in history to have a female presidential nominee, I will be honest and say I wish the female nominee were someone else. While many people may be enthralled or intrigued by having a woman as a presidential nominee, I do believe that it is important to consider her character more than her gender. Hillary Clinton is not a woman of godly character. She wants to keep abortion "safe and legal". Truth be told, there is no such thing as a safe abortion. There is nothing safe about killing an unborn baby and denying him or her the right to enjoy the life God planned for them. I don't believe Mrs. Clinton has the respect for human life that she should. When four of our men were killed in Benghazi, Mrs. Clinton made such callous comments as, "What difference does it make?" and outright lied when she said not a single life was lost. Everyone who's seen the news knows that on September 11, 2012, those four men were killed in Benghazi. Lying and saying it didn't happen won't change history. It's like trying to say Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon when we all know he did. When a man accused of child rape whom Mrs. Clinton defended in 1982 was acquitted, Mrs. Clinton said that it didn't matter and that they'd gotten rid of the evidence. This was recorded in an audio statement--her own words! I saw a YouTube video that listed 25 scandals and criminal charges against Mrs. Clinton, including scandals and charges when she was First Lady. The name of the video is "Hillary Clinton: A Career Criminal".
Donald Trump has said that he stands with Israel, which I believe is essential, because God had said in the Book of Deuteronomy that He blesses all those who bless Israel and curses all who curse Israel. Mr. Trump also believes in protecting our country from terrorist threats by securing our borders. Over the past decade (and beyond that), there have been more terrorist attacks on our people than I can count. From September 11, 2001 to Benghazi to the Boston Marathon to San Bernardino to the Orlando attacks in which 50 people were slain, terrorism has been a humongous problem. It is the duty of a leader to make sure his or her country is secure, and this is impossible to do without securing our borders to keep terrorists out.
The Bible makes it clear that leaders can make or break the country they govern. King David, who went down in history as Israel's greatest king, was known for being a man after God's own heart. He fought to protect the people of God. He cared about leading them spiritually. Under this man, Israel prospered. King Ahab, who went down in history as Israel's worst king, was known for doing more evil in God's eyes than all of the kings before him. He married an evil woman named Jezebel, who did everything she could to spread her pagan, chi,ld-sacrificing religion of Baal worship, throughout Israel. Under Ahab and Jezebel, things really fell apart.
When you vote for this year, don't pay attention to what's popular or what seems intriguing. Look at each person's character and views on important issues and how they respond to threats to their people. Based on their personalities, beliefs, and response to threats, remember, a leader can make--or break--his or her country!
