Dear editor:
For most of my life, I had been a devout Democrat. They were for the working class, the poor and the elderly. But things started to change, definitely not for the better, as far as I can tell. Political correctness became their war cry.
It seemed like someone was going through the Scriptures, making every unholy act a basis for their new credo. They began to infiltrate our educational systems, our media and any other means to corrupt the minds of our youths and of the masses. What was wrong, is now right.
If you spoke out against political correctness, you were labeled a "bigot," a "racist," etc. Suddenly morality is no longer the norm. Church leaders are so quick to deny the values of God and promote Satan's political correctness. It is plain to me how powerful Satan's influence is. He makes evil good in the eyes of the weak, gullible people.
Prayer was removed from our schools, sporting events and many more places. Remove the Ten Commandments from public places. It is a guide to live by. No wonder our politicians want them to disappear.
Immoral life styles were suddenly in the news front, LGBT, same-sex marriage are crammed down our youths' throats as being OK. It should not have laws enacted to promote those lifestyles. Love the people, but don't promote the sin. It should only be between the parties involved.
No one will stand on the side of God and say "This is not right!" It is easier to follow Satan's guide, showing his power over the world, it is his now, but his day of reckoning is coming, as it is for those who deny God.
I am not a holier-than-thou person, I am as much a sinner as everyone else in this world. I just prefer to see evil for what it is. I am not a Democrat, nor a Republican. If I my say so, there is very little difference between the parties, they are all in it for the money. They represent only their own agenda.
I am only one person with no voice, because I don't adhere to "political correctness." I would rather you be mad at me than God.
The biggest part of the world has fallen into an abyss of filth and corruption, honesty is not the policy, lie, cheat, steal, kill your fellow man because he dissed you in some way, or maybe for the thrill of having the ability to erase someone from the face of the Earth or maybe you don't like their skin color. It's people killing people.
Just look around and tell me what you see. Is this a good way of life?
