Politics appears to rock any nation. They’re essential. We in America have the best to vote, have opinions, and the liberty to talk and stay.

We have to ask, “Do I care if that individual on that facet of the voting line goes to heaven?” Can we hate different individuals? Jesus tells us to like our enemies and to wish for them.
