Christian support for President Trump

I am a Christian. Christians are being criticized a lot lately for their support for the President. When did supporting the president become such a controversial thing?

Remember, we only get two choices for president. Our current system makes it almost impossible for a third-party candidate to win.

Democrats, in general, believe the Founders gave us a country that is highly flawed and in serious need of a major transformation. They think they have the answers and can improve greatly on what we were given. I submit that most people today don't even know what we were given by the Founders. We haven't taught it in our schools for almost 50 years, and we certainly haven't taught it to the millions of people who have moved here in that time either.

People keep saying that the separation of church and state means that the government must be neutral toward religion, so that public schools must not even talk about God lest it be seen as promoting religion. Yet the founding principle of our country is that God gave unalienable rights to human beings. A secular country cannot give you unalienable rights, because there is no higher power than the government.

And, we have been discovering that there isn't enough money to pay for all these things people think government gives them the right to. Governments all over the Western world are in debt.

The Founders believed helping people was voluntary. Love your neighbor as yourself. Democrats believe that it is the role of government to do that and they are forever in search of more money to pay for all of that.

I thought picking a president was an easy decision.
