To the editor: Our world is in turmoil, not just our city, not just our state, not just our country, but the whole world.

It is time for us to unite and stop all this negative judgmental bickering. I don’t care what party you belong to — stop it and stop it now.

The news people, especially the big news agencies, are doing the enemy’s handiwork by always reporting how bad America is and especially our president. Wake up people.

It is time for us to tell all of them to stop. All who don’t praise our country an what our president is doing, he, against all opposition, had the guts to stand up and do what is right to keep us all safe.

It is easy to do armchair quarterbacking, all of us have an opinion, but we aren’t up there getting all the information of what’s going on.

Why don’t we start looking up and trusting God, that He knows what do do for the good of all of us?

Do more praying and stop grumbling and complaining. Thank God that we have a strong leader that will do what is needed when all hell comes against Him.

We are in a life or death struggle here. It is time to pull together and not apart. We all know that we have a common enemy that has tried to take over America for as long as we have been a Christian country, who stands for freedom for all people, but we have lost our focus. We have forgotten that Russia, China and Iran’s leaders hate us and will do anything, anytime, to destroy our sovereignty — and some of the people in this country are helping them.

Please, please, people, get some patriotic devotion for our great country and support our president. Start standing up and defending what you know is right — our country. When the news people start in with their fault finding, tell them to hush and stop running down what we love.

When an acquaintance starts in in telling us all that is wrong — tell them all that is right; anyone who is not supporting and praying for our leaders — all of them — it is our duty to stop it in its track. If you don’t it will continue to grow and we won’t have a country that fights for our freedom, so that we can be free, free to worship, free to vote, free to live as we wish to.

So I am asking all of us — lets get our patriotism back, our love of this country and all of its people. Let’s stand up and defend it to our dying breath. You may have a difference of opinion — fine, but don’t throw out the baby in the wash water.

Look at what we are losing, by going against the leaders that are putting their lives on hold, to save even one of us from this plague that has taken us over. Don’t listen to the negative that seeks to destroy us by dividing us. We can stop it, one person at a time, and we can.

It is a nationwide battle; but the end starts with each one of us, when we start defending our country and our president. we must unite, and together we can bring back what America stands for.

Love one another, including our president. You don’t have to agree with him, but you do have to support him and keep him and keep him in prayer. He wants to listen to God’s guidance — so pray for him to hear God’s guidance and not man’s.

Thank you.
