Christian, Southerner, How Do You Justify Your Continue Support of DJT and the amerikan Empire?

I have never really understood how any Christian or any Southerner could support someone like the lying liberal New York yankee and megalomaniac, Donald J. Trump. The events of recent days have baffled me; as such folks continue their unbridled support for and defense of this psychopathic bully and warmonger.

There was a time when amerika respected the concept of self-determination. Now she invades a sovereign country, kidnaps its elected leader, and maintains her right to govern that country. This is little different from the invasion and ultimate occupation of the South by the imperial yankee government of Ape Lincoln.

America has become something that our early leaders most feared.

Our first President, George Washington, admonished us in his Farewell Address that we should “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”

On the other hand, Emperor Trump invades a foreign country, kidnaps its leader, steals its oil, and asserts his intentions to rule that country. Trump envisions himself as Emperor of the World. He exhibits the character and deeds of the one that the Scriptures refer to as the “Anti-Christ”. I ain’t sayin’ he is; and I ain’t sayin’ he ain’t.

In his inaugural address, our second President, Thomas Jefferson, stated that American foreign policy was: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none.” For Trump the only “peace” is that which results from the conquering and subjugation of others, again paralleling the policy of the Lincoln administration towards our Confederate ancestors.

In his July 4, 1821 speech to the U.S. House of Representatives, Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, who would himself become an American President, set forth America’s foreign policy under the Monroe Administration:

“She [America] has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings . . . Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. . . . She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence; she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication . . . The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. . . . . She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit. . . . [America's] glory is not dominion, but liberty.”

In 1823, President James Monroe could state that: “In the wars of the European powers, in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken part, nor does it comport with our policy, so to do. It is only when our rights are invaded, or seriously menaced that we resent injuries, or make preparations for our defense.”

amerika once knew how to mind its own business. Not so any longer. amerika now pursues a foreign policy that is precisely the opposite of what was described by these early Presidents. We are now entangled in the affairs of virtually every nation upon the face of the earth. We have indeed become the Dictatress of the World, but we are no longer the ruler of our own spirit.

Several years ago, Ron Paul noted that America has military personnel in 130 nations and some 900 bases overseas. Things have only worsened in recent years. Now, under Trump, we are invading, occupying and running foreign lands.

How did this come about? Ultimately it is but another rotten fruit of the immoral and un-Constitutional war that was made against the Southern States, a war that resulted in one consolidated Nation-State, as opposed to the voluntary union of free and independent states that had been envisioned by America’s founders.

General Robert E. Lee recognized this result of the war and in an 1866 letter to Great Britain’s Lord Acton, when he wrote:

“I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, [is] not only essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. . . . Whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.”

Elevating an overtly self-worshipping, narcissistic, psychopath like Trump to the presidency has only exasperated our predicament. The only sane course is to separate and to go our own way. Perhaps God will see fit to show us the path to make this a reality. In the meantime we ought to simply withdraw our consent. Don’t fly that imperial striped rag. Don’t pledge to it. Don’t serve in its armed forces. Don’t participate in its sham national elections.

How Christians and Southerners continue to be an active part of all of this is just unfathomable to me.

As General Lee wrote in an 1863 order to his troops, when acknowledging President Davis’ call for a day of fasting and prayer:

“Let us humble ourselves before Him. Let us confess our many sins, and beseech Him to give us a higher courage, a purer patriotism, and more determined will; that He will hasten the time when war, with its sorrows and sufferings, shall cease, and that He will give us a name and place among the nations of the earth.”
