So long as we keep this mindset of them as our leaders, we'll never get this country back on track (assuming it's still possible).

Actually they are our "leadership" whether we like it or not. They just happen to be the leadership this country deserves.
Daniel 4:17 is pretty clear concerning the fact that at times God places some lousy individuals over us. Whether it is boss, a pastor, local and federal leadership. In
1 Samuel 8:19-20 the children of Israel wanted Samuel to give them a physical king. Which is pretty much what they wanted ever since they strolled through the red sea. They built a golden calf to replace Moses. They wanted a physical king to replace Samuel, God's mouth piece. Nothing ever really drastically changes and therefore men seek out men to follow right off the edge of the proverbial cliff, smack dab into the ditch. We need a little
2 Chronicles 7:14 in our lives, and then we will get leadership which may bring restoration. Yet, seems to me that both sides are just wanting to go to fist city, and finish this in their flesh. Because maybe, just maybe if we can vote really hard we will elect a strong ultra conservative hero who will lead us back to 1776. Then all will be flaky biscuits and creamy sausage gravy. We all know he doesn't have to be a Bible believer, because the argument is made every election by Pentecostals and Apostolics alike. "We aren't voting in a church leader, but a president" Well, then don't cry boo hoo hoo all the way home when you end up with Satan wearing a suit and tie.
