Donald Trump’s simplistic slogan of “Make America Great Again” appeals to everyone who loves our once great country. Playing off Trump’s slogan, Hillary Clinton says that America needs to be “Whole Again.” Of course both are correct. America needs to be great again and whole again.
QUESTIONS TO PONDER AS YOU DISCUSS POLITICS
Why does America need to be great again and whole again?
Why have we fallen so far from being the greatest nation on the face of the earth?
Why are we on the verge of chaos and the abyss?
Why are so many of our politicians corrupted?
Why is there so much greed and hatred?
Why are college students ignorant of the most basics of American history, values and lessons in civics and civility?
Why do we spend billions of dollars on our education system yet children struggle in school to learn the simple basics of reading, writing and arithmetic?
Why is there no shame in our immorality?
Why is our national debt so large that it is destroying our economy?
Why is there such hatred between the political leaders who have different views?
Why are our churches and synagogues losing the cultural war in America?

THE WAY TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
These are the most critical questions facing the American people. In this election year, voters are so divided arguing over which candidate can lead America back to greatness and wholeness.
None of these politicians can lead America to be great and whole again. They are addressing the symptoms and not the problem. Furthermore, if they actually did address the problem, they would not be elected. If you are looking for a savior in Washington, you are going to be disappointed no matter who you vote for. Unless ….?
The founders of America believed that America’s greatness was based on its Judeo-Christian values which they enshrined in all of our founding documents. They all said that American would only survive if the American people lived by these values.
HERE ARE ONLY TWO QUOTATIONS
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passion unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams, Second President of the United States
“Democracy presupposes a moral basis and background. Democracy is moral before it is political. That people may rule, there must prevail among the people justice and righteousness and a passion for liberty for oneself and one’s brothers. Without these virtues, a people, even when living under a democracy in form, will find itself living under tyrannous masters in fact.”
Louis Witt, Judaism and Democracy
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AND WHOLE AGAIN
The only thing that will save America from further self-destruction is a return to the Judeo-Christian God and values which made America great and whole.
It is important to vote but keep this in mind, America is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible but the Kingdom of God is everywhere in the Bible. May His Kingdom come and may His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
