Two letters to the Editor today in my rural Indiana paper. This is real. [View all]

"To the Editor;

It amazes me to the length people, especially women, will go to make every thing President Trump does, or does not do, namely what one woman wrote on the Internet, saying" All these things happening with the weather, Hurricanes, fires & earth quakes are happening because President Trump was elected President." The truth is," in my estimation, that Donald Trump is President, because he is who God wanted in as President of the United States." If you know the Bible, you will see and know that God becomes angry when people decide they do not Need God in their lives, and try to rip Him out of everyones lives too. He is angry with those who are trying to destroy this Country and He is showing that He is God and is in control of everything, that includes hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and tornados and floods. e.g.: The flood in the time of Noah.
Those of us, who now the elderly, remember the classes in History, and Government, also Bible History. We grew up knowing what our Country stands for, what we fought for, that we only entered the War's after we were attacked. We grew up knowing about God and His love for us, and His wanting us to live up to the laws he gave to us to live by. Jude 1: 1-25.
Like Satan, some have become proud, and like Satan did, and declared that He would be like God, Because of that, Lucifer (Satan) was cast out of heaven, he had been the head Angel and when he was cast out of Heaven, he took 1/3 of the angels with him. The battle between good & evil continues today, and will until Jesus returns to earth again.
We who are committed to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior must continue to pray and intercede for President Trump and all those who work with President Trump to make America Great Again, and pray that the eyes of all will be opened to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and what He did for us by His Death on the Cross and His Resurrection from the dead. Continue to hold up the hands of those who are in the front of the battle.

"Editor,

As I walk around in the community and see the people, tears well up in my eyes. I become very emotional. I do so because I see my people, the white people, being brainwashed and led like sheep to the slaughter. What has ever happened to concern for our own? Where has unity among our own people been carted off to? I see the white man caring more for those of other races than they do their own. How can this be? He who does not care for his own household is an infidel and a traitor the Bible tells us. Would that not also apply to your own race? The black man can stick up for his people, the Hispanic can stick up for his people, the Native American can care for his people, the Asian can keep his people non-inclusive, yet when the white man does so, he becomes a racist. Why is that? Why cannot the white man love his own just like the other races love their own? Isn't that what groups like KKK, Neo-Nazis and others are trying to do- LOVE their own? Yet it is the white man who judges thesepro-white groups with anger and resentment. Why? How can that be? Why was it not that way 30 decades ago/a century ago? Well, there is an agenda to destroy the white civilization. It is being done through guilt and shame (which the white man shouldn't have anyway), and it is being done through the dangerous diversity/multi-cultural agenda. And it is being done for one main reason: if you can eradicate white culture, guess what, you can eradicate Christianity! That is the ultimate goal after all: to destroy Christ/Christ-ianity. I do not advocate violence and hate, but I do advocate for white people to put their own first. This starts in the household and spreads into the community. We must stand for our people and our God! So, enough political correctness already! To each, his own. I love that I am Caucasian and I love the Caucasian people, Does that make me racist? Really? I believe those who reject their own kind in favor of another kind to be the true racists! You may deny your own flesh, but that also means denying the flesh of your ancestors, your parents, your wives/husbands, and even your children! SAD, SO SAD! Love your own, because the others sure do love their own (and that's OK). God created you and the races. He created you to be distinct, to be separate. Do you really think that He created the different races so that one day that could all merge into one race? Thank you for your time and heart felt thoughts about this. This is not to disparage any one people but to cause the brain washed white man to think and love his own.

Sincerely,
(Name Removed)"

This is real. This is what progressives are dealing with with a large faction of rural America.
These people cannot be reached. Logic does not work. Self interest does not work.
When you come to an intractable object, go around it.
