BE READY FOR A SERIOUS DISCUSSION

Now that we have had a few days to contemplate what really happened on Tuesday, I have something different to inject into the conversation of the day.  

This election was not at all about Clinton or Trump, nor was it about Republicans versus Democrats.  To understand what this election was about, you have to have been around for World War II, to have served at some point in the United States military, and/or to have studied world history and the history of America.  You have to realize in your heart that this great country, as imperfect as it may be at times, is still the best place on the face of the earth for a human being to live.  

To those who would turn their backs on our nation and move to Canada or Mexico, I say... go ahead and move, but don't ever even think about coming back.  

Those of us who really do know and understand, know that this country reached the cliff and stared into the abyss, and we put one foot forward; had we lost our balance, we would have lost our country.  

This election was about whether or not we had reached the point in our country where we were ready to turn our backs on our freedoms, our Constitution and our God who led us here to this great place... and to proceed down the paths of totalitarianism.  Are we truly happy being out of work, poor and under the thumbs of government? 

Going into this election, we prayed to God for a rescue and He complied.  Upon hearing the news, we breathed a big sigh of relief, and hopefully thanked God.   Does that mean that this is all over?  Does it mean we can go back to business as usual with our heads stuck in the sand?  Do we now thank God by burning his Bible and forgetting His commandments?  

Perhaps the bigger question is: if not, why not?   

Let us take a serious moment to search our souls and discover who we really are. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
