There is a new sin in America: Trump hysteria.

On one day in The Greenville News, there were four articles about a man who is not even the Republican nominee: “Trump’s ideas could kill the world economy.” “Trump comes with a price.” “Trump could destroy the old GOP establishment.” And then there was Leonard Pitts’ column that orders us to “fix what Donald Trump created,” which is “economic insecurity, ignorance, bigotry, fear, and apathy.” He is even scolded by the pope!

Pitts is so resigned to the idea that Donald Trump will be our leader that he is already preparing for the four years after Trump!

Our nation has become so bland, so committed to mediocrity, so accustomed to not offending anyone, that no one is inspired. Light and fire cause emotional upset to those who live in Nanny government’s womb. (Hysteria is from the Latin womb.)

Job in the Bible rues the day he was born, looking to the day he will be dead, and there is full equality, the left’s utopia, “where the slaves are free from their masters.” (Job 3:19)

Anticipating the fall of ancient Rome, there was a celebration called “the Hysteria,” in which men dressed as women and woman dressed as men.

No wonder so much of America hates Trump’s talk about boundaries, competition, strength, greatness and jokes about virility.

There is not a war on women today, but on fathers and family (Ephesians 3:14), and family is where women and children are respected and civilization is given a chance.
