Why Trump is the Candidate, and Fascism is Taking Over the US
Meeting # 3,786 - college regular Sidney Cohen
The speaker outlines her political perspective on her campaign website:
“My outlook -
I am one tough cookie, and I will always stick to my principles. This nation was formed under God. I will protect us from all of the external forces drawing us into Socialism, or worse, Communism and even a New World Order. I will fervently fight for every person of every age, religion, and race. And my deep-rooted conservative and Catholic Christian faith and regard for Judaism sets my moral compass. I believe in solid Midwestern values and common sense. We need to strive to be a better America in the future; one that is civilized, refined, fair to all, affordable, educated, considerate, charitable, peaceful, and a great place to live for every family in the nation.”

Christian Nationalism: The Threat
Is America a divinely appointed nation by God that is Christian?
Meeting # 3,783 -
Alan Steelman, best-selling author, former member of Congress (R-TX), former member of White House Staff, and former Vice Chairmen of Alexander Proudfoot Company. He has served as Chairman of the Dallas Council on World Affairs, a Board Member of Sterling Software (NYSE), Aristocrat Technologies (ASX), and the Texas Growth Fund, Alan is a graduate of Baylor University, holds a master’s degree from SMU, and was a resident fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University.
Alan will discuss how the very first article in the Bill of Rights, the first amendment to the bedrock of our republic, the U.S. Constitution, enshrines the separation of church and state. “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof”. Our constitution was a revolutionary constitution, the first to declare that power comes from the people. The first not to mention a monarch, God, deity. This was a deliberate choice by the founders, and ours was the first to ban religious tests for public office.
He points out that there is an evolving threat to this, the most precious of our freedoms, and it is picking up speed at an alarming rate, including in our own state of Texas. Christian Nationalism, as defined by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, an organization opposed to this idea, is "a cultural construct and political ideology rooted in the belief that America was created by white, European Christians and that our laws and culture should reflect that. Further, America is a divinely appointed nation by God that is Christian, The Founders, rather than wanting to disestablish religion as a unifier, were in fact, establishing a nation based on Christian principles, with white men as leaders, America has a special place not only in world history, but, in biblical Scripture, especially the return of Christ, there is no separation between church and state.”

Pro-Liberty and Pro-Limited Government
Pro-2nd Amendment
Pro-Free Markets
Capitalism works. Crony capitalism must be addressed head on and squashed. Free markets mean anyone and everyone can participate in the system to earn a living and provide for their families. We must not fall for the Socialist and Marxist Communist gimmick that sells the notion the government will take care of you! No. The government does a horrible job of taking care of people. The government is there to protect our rights, and often it seems (based on how politically charged and corrupt is has become because of lobbyists and special interest groups,) if they can't even do that correctly, we cannot trust they will take care of the people. It is up to us to keep government in check too.
