God don't have a dog in this fight...

Every German soldier in WW2, had this on his belt buckle "Gott mit uns" God with us

The purest Christian position on things politic is apolitical. We presumably belong to a kingdom not of this world.

Perhaps I am not a good Christian, I love the United States and it's constitution and conservative values. That is my values, not God's.

If you are liberal do me a favor. Keep God out of it. Jesus didn't preach the marxist dialectic either.

He isn't on your side any more than he is on mine.

Thought you would enjoy this letter, John.

Quote:

Harold B. Estes, a 95-year-old member of the Greatest Generation: “I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out.”

To read the letter in it's entirety, which is certainly a treat!:

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.................
