This DeVos lady, she is scary, she is literally on a mission to destroy public education in the US. I can see the Senate hearings now,
I can absolutely see here Gerrymandering school districts in a racial divide.
Gonna set us back 50 years of all that's been accomplished to move us forward.

Charters and vouchers is all she is interested in, she has friends that will profit both ways. Rick Scott in Florida the same way.

I know.
So parents who put their kids in private Christian schools can use public funding.
As if, public education funds can spread any thinner.

I did not put an explanation for the video because it speaks for itself, and its more meaningful if you listen to it.
If I describe it, most people will not bother to listen, they will just disregard it.
I have strongly felt that there is something big going on in the world now.
There is a battle that will affect everyone for generations.
It reminds me of the Steven King movie, The Stand.
And no, I am not saying that real life is like a movie, but it is the nearest comparison I can think of for what I am feeling is going on in the world right now.
I thought we might be on the right path with the end of the election, but there are evil forces still at work trying to disrupt. They will not give up easily. The fact that they are still trying to take him down means that Trump really might be who need to change the outcome.
I think Trump might be the one strong enough to fight for right in this battle.
We don't need a saint, and he certainly is not that.
Stu Redman was not a saint either, but he was chosen to take up the fight. (I know - not real, but I am trying to make a comparison. We don't need a saint. We need someone to fight.)
We don't need a mystical "savior" either.
We need a real man who will stand up to the evil and do battle.
I don't know who the equivalent of Randall Flagg might be. (again, just making a comparison to represent the most evil entity we may face)
I thought it might be Hillary Clinton, but now I feel she was a puppet being used, although evil in her own right enough to be chosen.
Someone more sinister is pulling the strings.
So, if Trump is religious or not is not what we need to be concerned about.
We need to put our faith in someone to do battle for us.
I think that might be Trump.

This country needs a leader, Trump ain't it, Hillary ain't it, and I see no one in the wings. I am old, but there needs to be someone to unify this country again.

I'm old too.
I'll take Hillary.
NO to Trump. Just look at his cabinet choices.

I read the book several times and saw the movie several times.
Stu Redman stood against evil.
He did not set out to lead the battle, just as Trump did not decide to take it on until later in life, after he saw that something had to be done.
They are both ordinary men who took on an epic responsibility against impossible odds.
