"The United States did not come into the world because of people who were mostly concerned about gas prices" — Historian Metaxas Compares Donald Trump with George Washington: POTUS47 "is our leader against the forces of madness"; "Everyone blaming Trump is missing the point and should be ashamed of themselves"

The United States did not come into the world [in the 1770s] because of people who were mostly concerned about gas prices. It came into the world because patriots loved liberty more than their own lives

Here is the reaction to the mid-terms of Eric Metaxas, the author of Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the World.

• Everyone blaming Trump is missing the point and should be ashamed of themselves. He is our leader against the forces of madness -- and a large part of why we lost last night is because of lunatics like Tucker and MTG and Massie who tried to peel away his followers, as if THEY had better solutions. 

   

  They are like Horatio Gates and Charles Lee who backstabbed Washington when things looked bad in late 1776. They refused to help him, hoping he would lose so that they could rise. THEY FAILED. And were ultimately humiliated. In the meantime Washington and his men suffered bitterly but fought on and on, praying that God would be with them, knowing that He was their only hope, because it was His battle and His cause, and they were obliged to fight on in that cause, knowing the ultimate results were in His hands. 

   

  Samuel Adams and John Adams and many others never lost faith in the Sacred Cause and KNEW that if they fought on and prayed God would be with them. The United States did not come into the world because of people who were mostly concerned about gas prices. It came into the world because patriots loved liberty more than their own lives, who were willing to do the right thing and trust God with the results. Many sat on the fence as Washington and his troops suffered -- and many opposed him openly. 

   

  We have many like that today, but in the end God needs his Gideon's 300 to fight on and do what is right. Are you part of that 300? Jesus is always and ever our only hope, and He calls us to fight for what is right as we look to Him. Just because things look bad now doesn't mean God has abandoned us. If you care more about gas prices than liberty and truth and justice, you're part of the problem. 

   

  May this dark moment drive us to our knees in repentance and prayer to the One Who is our only hope, Who is the Author of Truth and Liberty -- and America. And may it lead us to political and cultural actions that restore our nation to the liberty we have lost. God has chosen President Trump for this hour. Pray for the nation and trust God to lead us on.

A similar message is voiced by one Terence K Williams — albeit in a far (ahem) earthier way. "I'M GONNA SPEAK FREELY TONIGHT! AND I REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY LANGUAGE!"
