The Number One

The number one meme that I am featuring,  not sure where I got it, but it really struck me as a straight-forward simple solution to our social problems of today.  If only…people would respect each other and our inalienable rights to be individuals.  This world would be an extremely boring place if everyone was the same.  However in today’s society, it seems that we have extremists who want just that. 

I am deeply troubled about the demoralization in our Country.  America is the epitome of governments. Capitalism is alive and well, or was. But I don’t want socialism. And I certainly do not want Marxism.  Have these people who hate our country not studied their history?  Now that is a rhetorical question!  Of course not.  Tearing down our national statues of great men who served our country who gave them the right to destroy property that does not belong to them. 

The number one

TRUMP WAS NOT MY FIRST CHOICE

Donald Trump was not my first choice for President. There were 2 others that I would have chosen before Trump. Admittedly, I was trying to find a reason not to vote for Trump because of all the bad publicity surrounding him.  However, the first 2 men showed me that they were not as strong in their platform as Trump. Trump had me when he first started talking about draining the swamp.  I would have voted for the devil himself before I voted for Hilary.  We barely survived Obama and I don’t think our country would have lasted through the first term of Hilary. 

Trump brought us back from the brink of destruction that was Obama’s legacy. Now the swamp is hitting back at Trump with some pretty low and disgusting moves. Trump has shown me that he can withstand the onslaught and still love my country.  He is smart and knows his enemy and I believe that he will prevail.

The Number ONE CREATOR>>>GOD

I believe in my God. Further, I believe He created me in his likeness, not His sameness. Certainly, I believe He is a kind and loving GOD, until He isn’t.  Listen to your GOD and know that His patience is diminishing. Know that it is ok if you don’t agree with me, I will not pitch a fit or call you names.  I will answer to my God for my actions as you will answer to your God.

The Number ONE RACE>>>HUMAN

Like it or not, all people are human.  According to the dictionary, human is people.  Human is all colors as God created diversity in His likeness.  He also created different cultures and I happen to be in the American culture.  My color does not make me an American, African, or Asian. As a Human, God expects me to take care of my family and country. And anyone else I encounter who needs a helping hand. But you will need God on your side if you try to take advantage of me.

The Number ONE BLOOD>>>RED

The color of your skin does not matter, we all bleed RED blood. Blood is life. Without blood, we die. Red is one of the strongest colors there is. It has power with the eye, for instance, traffic    lights are red for STOP.  Stop signs are red, they get your attention. This distinguished gentleman summarizes it up nicely.

The number one

The Number ONE PROBLEM>>>SIN

In bible school, I was taught a lesson on sin. It states, “Let him without sin, cast the first stone”. I have taken it out of context some but it fits.   All of us are sinners!  It is not our place to judge people by their “sin”. What you call a sin, I might not. And vice versa. The most egregious sins are monitored by law and order.  No question that murder is an egregious sin. But then so is shoplifting, taking the Lord’s name in vain.  These may not be in the same category as murder,  but it is still breaking the Ten Commandments given us by God.

Number ONE SOLUTION>>>JESUS CHRIST

John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  Like I said before, straight-forward, simple and a solution to our social problems.  God created humans, Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins so that we can have everlasting life.

I urge you to put aside your prejudices and look into your heart and seek the red blood of Jesus in your life.  Don’t judge a person by their skin color or ethnicity. And know you do not know a person’s heart. You can only know what you see and actions speak really loud.

You have 2 choices:

CAPITALISM: an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of productions, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth.

In other words,

YOU EARN IT, YOU KEEP IT

SOCIALISM: a system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. In order words,

YOU WORK FOR IT AND THE GOVERNMENT TAKES IT

Personally, I want to keep what I earn.  I want to support my family the way I can with the best of my ability.  Guess that makes me a CAPITALIST.  Which makes me a conservative, a Republican.  However, I am also Democratic!  Yes, I believe in the principle of political and social equal opportunity for all.  Moreover, I firmly believe that we can be what we want to be.  There may be obstacles but with hard work, it is possible.

The Democratic Party has moved so far left that it does not resemble the party from the 50’s or 60’s.  Those were my formative years, so to speak, and my Daddy was a Democrat.  Eisenhower was in office when I first learned we had a president of the USA.  The Democratic Party has turned to Socialism.  Socialism is an abomination! Decidedly, I am a person who can think for myself. No way do I need or want, government telling me what I can or cannot do.  Certainly, I don’t want to go back to horse and buggy days.  I don’t want to give up my comforts like heating and air conditioning.  I don’t want to pay $10.00 for a loaf of bread. 

Most importantly, I don’t want my freedom taken away. 

I understand that some people are against Donald Trump. I have yet to figure out why. Compared to Bill Clinton, he is a choir boy.  Compared to Obama, however, I can’t compare Trump to Obama. Obama was the worst person in the world to be our president. Obama put the USA in a state of decline and made us the laughing stock of the global countries.

  • Trump brought back the respect that our country deserves.
  • President Trump went toe-to-toe with the countries that were abusing us and turned the tables on them.
  • Trump is standing up to the congress men and women who want to stop our revival to greatness.
  • He is building a wall to keep out illegals and their drugs.
  • He is enforcing laws already on the books that have been ignored for way too long.
  • Trump shows his love for my country and the people of all races, color and gender.

So I am asking, can you put aside your prejudices for the man, long enough to recognize his accomplishments for our country? Is your hatred of Trump more important to you than your way of life? 

I would appreciate comments and your views on the path our beloved country is traveling. Decisions will be have to be made soon.

  • Have you researched the issues and decided where you belong? 
  • Don’t let the news feeds think for you. Fact check what you are being told. 
  • Do the facts match with your thinking and your way of life?
  • You should decide for yourself what your number 1 is. 

Finally, I trust you have a Higher Being in your life that gives you comfort and peace.  Do you know what a Christian is?  Well, I will tell you that without Christ-I-am-Nothing. 

November is rapidly approaching and time will be up to decide.
