What can be done? What is to be done? The nation reels in grave accusations of political misdeeds, of corruption. I would guess that never in our history have investigations into so many government figures been suggested. Joe Biden, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, James Comey, Robert Mueller . . . and others. Among the more serious of charges, the Clintons are accused of murdering, I don't know, maybe 30 people.
Serial killers, that would make them.
And, then we have our president. Long before he was elected, there was a line of things worth investigating. Do many weeks go by, without something new being seen that should be investigated?
What do we do, investigate all of these?
On one side, I think we should.
On the other side, I think not. I wonder at a nation so engulfed in investigations that it fractures under the weight of them. Accusation after accusation, and investigating them only invites more accusations.
Such a nation could truly shatter.
I sat down to write this blog with the thought that everything deserves an investigation -- if for no other reason, than to clear the person of false accusation.
If there is someone behind all the dissension in America -- the Russians or whoever -- I think they would be pleased to see us shatter under the weight of finger-pointing, lying about others and bringing false witness against each other.
Thou shalt not bear false witness, says the Holy Code, but in a land of Christians where this commandment ought to be honored, we find it being shattered under the assault of those who do not know how to keep it.
There are those who would tell you the gospel would heal this land. I do so believe it.
I will end with the thought I began with. Never in our nation's history have we been plagued with such a host of so many political accusations. If we believe in foreign influence -- if we once believed Soviet Union propaganda was real and can see they have only mastered the art to a cunning level -- then shall we fall into their trap?
Even if you do not believe in Russian propaganda, consider the Ten Commandments, and wonder if we as a nation are keeping that one.
