THE US PRESIDENT QUESTION by J. Parnell McCarter

 

 

We are often asked, “who will you vote and support for US President?”  But this question assumes we believe having a US President is wise and expedient.  I am persuaded America needs to scale back from a multicultural empire to a nation again (declaring its foreign territories, Indian reservations, etc.  fully independent and sovereign nations, partitioning them off from the American nation).  But even with such a scaled back America, in my opinion it still is too diverse to hold together with the sort of federalist central government envisioned in the US Constitution.  Rather, it would be wise to return to a confederation model.   It was under such a confederation model while under its Articles of Confederation ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation ).  As under the Articles of Confederation, there would not even be a US President and the concentration of power that typically comes with such an executive.

But far more important than this is that the nation, along with its states and localities, “kiss the Son” and follow Him according to Biblical principles.  In so doing, America should return to its Biblical Protestant Christian roots, and shun the whorish Babylonian model it has come to champion.  We must be a reformed Protestant Christian nation again (for American history begins in 1607, not 1776), along the lines envisioned by our Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers.  This is the example we should set for the other nations in the world.
