“Why I Am Not Endorsing Gumpbert DeWidgett For President” The Bible gives us some wonderfully clear guidance as to how to choose who we will vote for in any election. For instance, Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Further, when we study Scripture to find the character traits that God expects of those in authority, we find things like honesty (Pro. 20:28) and selflessness (Deu. 17:16-17) and courage (Josh. 1:9) and wisdom (Ecc. 4:13) and self control (Pro. 31:1-4).We also find in Psalm 11:3 that whatever is founded right, including a nation, should always maintain its foundational basis, which for us would be things like the Declaration of Independence (which gives testimony to nature’s God and His law), the Constitution, natural law (as and aid to understanding the Constitution, not to twisting and superceding it) and so on. But this is America of 2016, and we are now much less versed on these principles. So much so, that it might not be too far fetched to see an interview or two like this one. “Hello America, this is Philberto Gonzalica, reporter with KTGBU News. I am out here on the streets doing one-on-one interviews with real Americans, finding out who they intend to vote for, and why. You there! Yes, you, young lady, may I have a moment of your time? Could you please tell us who you
plan to vote for, and why?” “Yeah, like, sure. I am all for Gumpbert DeWidgett, like, totally.” “Dewidgett, you say? Tell me, does it bother you that he has been married four times, is a habitual adulterer, curses like a sailor, and brags about some very questionable behavior?” “Not at all. Like, if he had real character issues or something, that would be different. But I know he doesn’t, because he says that he totally cares about us.” “I see. Well, who did you vote for in the last election?” “Last time I voted for Sally McStruthers. Some of my friends gave me grief because she lies a lot, views herself as above the law, and was an enabler to her abusive, philandering, criminally inclined husband. But, like, she’s a woman, and we women have to stick together.” “I see. Well, tell me, if Dewidgett does not get the nomination, what about Senator Dirtminski?”
“Well, like, yeah. I mean, some people have more than me, after all, and can afford to have more taken from them.” “So, you believe that government ought to use you as the line? More than you have is too much?” “Well, there has to be a logical line drawn, right?” “Yes, yes, I suppose there does. Back to Senator Dewidgett for a second, if I may. What is it that drew you to his candidacy?” “That’s easy, man. He tells it like it is, and that’s exactly what I want!” “Really? Well, in that case, please let me be honest: you have no concept of good government. You are selfish, ill-informed, and really ought to do a lot of homework on things like civics, the Constitution, socialism, and economic principles before you vote.” “Hey! I don’t appreciate that! How dare you!” “You said you liked it when people tell it like it is.”
“The socialist? Like, I would totally be okay with that, because I actually believe in society.”
“Yeah, but, like, I didn’t mean to ME! You just wait, when Dewidgett takes office, he will show all you uppity media types a thing or two, about “But, socialist and society the First Commandment are two different things. Are right of free speech, and the you okay with the idea of the Declaration of Indecision, government taking from some and...” and giving it to others?”
