It seems that Politics has been dragged down to the abyss as though it were a World Wrestling Federation event.

6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Colossians 4:6

I read with interest an article about whether Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, can be held liable for the civil unrest in this country. One article stated that Donald Trump had to cancel his recent appearance at a rally in Chicago because of imminent danger. Chicago police meanwhile said that they were not consulted so they couldn't ensure his safety.
Hillary Clinton sent out her comment on what she describes as widespread anger in our nation:"The divisive rhetoric we are seeing should be of grave concern to us all. We all have our differences, and we know many people across the country feel angry. We need to address that anger together. All of us, no matter what party we belong to or what views we hold, should not only say loudly and clearly that violence has no place in our politics, we should use our words and deeds to bring American's together. Last year in Charleston, South Carolina an evil man walked into a church and murdered 9 people. The families of those victims came together and melted hearts in the statehouse and the confederate flag came down. That should be the model we strive to overcome painful divisions in our country"
As we look at the various candidates we ought to evaluate their speech and see how they conduct themselves on a variety of potentially upsetting topics. Donald Trump, with his raucous approach which I liken to a World Wrestling Federation event, earned a resounding 'F' in his approach earlier in his campaign. In the following video you will notice similarities between the recent political debates and rally's and this world wrestling federation video.

Politics,it seems, is being dragged down to the bottom of the abyss, like it's a WWF event. This could explain the rise in popularity of figures like Donald Trump and for those of us who live in Minnesota, Jesse Ventura. In this kind of environment one can see how easy it is to spew out speech that is filled with hatred against anyone that doesn't hold our belief system.

We must get politics out of the abyss and one way to do this is to evaluate the candidates on how they conduct themselves.  Is their speech seasoned with graciousness and salt so they will know how to answer each person? Is their speech such that we, as American's, won't be embarrassed when he travels to another country and conducts America's business? Is he someone that wouldn't be prone to anger and incite hatred toward groups that do not agree with him? Whoever wins in November should have that kind of speech as described in Colossians 4:6.

Donald Trump may very well go on and win the Republican nomination, but sooner than later, he is going to have to find a way to unite everyone so people of all color, all faiths, all nationalities can be proud to have him as our President.

The bottom line is this: America has been and will always be the greatest nation on the face of the earth. People across the globe are filled with envy as they watch people of all faiths voting at the polls. They may see a nation divided now, but the day after the November election they will see a nation united. 

Let the games begin and may the best man win.
