Living your beliefs is not a gimmick. This nation is a Christian nation. Most people who live here are Christians of one denonmination or another. People are tired of all the political movements in the past who want to deny it. Now they have voted.
The only thing different in this election is Christians have finally woken up to how their rights were being eroded. In the past we took it for granted that most people accepted the fact that America is a Christian nation. Now Christians have wised up and know even here our way of living can be taken away from us if we get complacent.
There is a separation of church and state but the state cannot take away religion. I think that is the main reason our founding fathers put that in the constitution. They did not want a state religion like England but they wanted religion. Otherwise, they would have put in the constitution a clause having a country without any religion. From what I have read most if not all the founding fathers cherished their religion and many people have immigrated here so they can follow their religious beliefs.
We are getting back to our roots now with this election. The middle of the country is tired of being told how to live from both coasts. They do not understand us. Now they need to see us for who we are or they will be voted out.----oh, that just happened didn't it.
