To the Editor:

On March 1, the editors of the Cranston Herald bravely jumped on the politically correct bandwagon along with the New York Times, Providence Journal, Boston Globe and a host of others to declare NOT TRUMP. 

These voices speak with great indignation as they gaze upon the peasants in the field who will not listen to them anymore. They have been born to rule and how dare the peasants rebel against them and not give obeisance to they who have all light. For they have given us liberalism, multiculturalism, globalism, interventionism, militarism, feminism, illegal immigration, same sex marriage, the Holiday Tree, climate change, the language question at the ATM and the ruling establishment with their sycophant media has turned their back on our history, our culture and traditions in an attempt to make us citizens of the world and have not recognized that we are Americans. 

The Republican and Democratic parties are wings of the same establishment- one on the left and the other on the right and no matter who wins, the ruling elites of both parties go in the same direction towards a socialist world order. In one generation, they – Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama – have made a Communist regime that had murdered tens of millions of its own into the second largest economy in the world with brand new highways, bridges, airports and cities, while the U.S. trade deficit with China increased from $6 billion in 1985 to $365 billion in 2015.

These moral arbiters have given their blessing to the People’s Republic of China, which ordered the horrendous criminal slaughter of all second born, an atrocity not seen since King Herod slew all the Israelite children under 2 years old in the first attempt to kill Jesus. Here at home, this establishment has opened our borders, stripped our manufacturing base, given us endless wars and transformed us from the greatest creditor nation to become the greatest debtor nation with a debt of $20 trillion. Hillary, the smartest woman in the world, has promised more of the same and only Trump has provided any meaningful push back for which he is hated. 

In the 1st century, one man was despised and rejected by the ruling class of his own nation because he dared to speak the truth against the ruling establishment and they hated him for envy sake because the people were drawn to him and not to themselves. Back then, the man was called Jesus; today the man is called Trump and yes, Trump is no Jesus. However, the similarity with the ruling establishment today with the Pharisees of Israel back then is striking. 

NOT TRUMP as they look down their long liberal noses and detest him for the same reason that they detested Jesus for if they let him alone, they would lose their position as the respected establishment. These modern day Pharisees, also appear outwardly righteous, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity, and they are afraid because we don’t listen to their insults, their scolding, their ridicule, their mockery, their effete elitism and character assassination. In the 1st century, they crucified Jesus because he “spoke blasphemy” and they instead released Barabbas, a murderer and insurrectionist; in the 21st century, they declare Trump “not fit” and they must choose Hillary, a pathological liar. Happy Easter!
