“God does not belong to a political party.”
– Pete Buttigieg, in response to Donald Trump’s accusation that the young mayor and others are trying to remove God from the American lexicon and replace it with socialism.
Trump had spoken at the King Jesus International Ministry in Miami and said that God is “on our side” against “radical left” Democrats.

I’ve all but abandoned the Democratic Party. In my opinion, they’ve let Americans down on so many issues. They didn’t push for an absolute end to our engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq. They didn’t seek to find the causes of the 2008 economic downturn – the “Great Recession” –which caused millions of job losses and very nearly upended the entire U.S. and subsequently seek to punish (imprison) those who created the mayhem. They didn’t even seek to impeach President George W. Bush when they took over both Houses of Congress in 2007.
But I’m actually starting to like Pete Buttigieg, the young mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He’s highly-educated (a Rhodes scholar); a military veteran (he didn’t have bone spurs or other priorities); multi-lingual; media savvy; and personable. He certainly seems real and unburdened with the baggage of his political elders. A lot of people focus on the fact he’s a homosexualite, but considering what we have in the White House now, is that really the worst anyone can be?
Besides, I feel this nation is at the point where we need someone in office who’s too young to remember the novelty of color television, but mature enough to conduct their own spell-check.
