This election is not just about two men; It’s about two countries—one vision of a country by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and another vision of a country by President Donald Trump. As we look toward Tuesday’s election results, there could be no starker contrast between these two visions. Biden’s is one of a socialist America where the government is involved in every part of your daily life. It is a vision that has failed time after time throughout the world. Trump’s is a freedom-oriented vision of America. Quite frankly, it is the only successful form of government that allows individual freedom within rules and laws to prosper and excel.

We see time after time the way this works. In fact, Joe Biden is an excellent example. He has used his position in government to establish a worldwide syndicate to unethically, if not illegally, enrich his family and friends. That’s the way socialism works. Those in power, who have duped the voters into believing them, make lots of money at the expense of those they govern. Since they only are in it for themselves, the citizens suffer horrible consequences. Look at Venezuela and Argentina. Look at slave labor in China. Look at the poverty in places like Saudi Arabia. Look at whatever it is in Russia. America is the only place in the world where there is some semblance of true opportunity for everyone.

That opportunity will surely be limited, if not eliminated under Joe Biden. Think for a moment what a Joe Biden America might look like in two years. Here is a possible scenario:

The Biden-packed Supreme Court uses the 25^th Amendment to remove President Biden, swearing in Kamala Harris as president. The nation is in turmoil as North Korea and Iran threaten nuclear strikes. Crime and riots plague the cities and suburbs. There is a massive shift of jobs out of America and into China, further enriching the Biden family. Oil, coal, and fracking industries are outlawed, fuel prices skyrocket. The nation is shut down as COVID fears continue. Record numbers out of work, defaulting on home mortgages. Taxes on the middle class are the highest in history. These things are very possible. And Biden can hardly put two words together.

The vision of America by President Trump is entirely different. Think about what America could look like in two years under Trump:

President Trump and Congress celebrate second year of record economic growth. More people have jobs than ever before. President Trump signs into law free-market healthcare covering pre-existing conditions. Tax reform lowered taxes and stimulated business development and jobs. There is peace across the Middle East. China faces tough sanctions for corrupt practices against America. Crime is at the lowest level in the 21^st Century.

Yes, it is a tale of two countries. The choice is clear. We will make a Joshua 24:15 choice: “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Therein is the choice that governs choices.

Dear Joe, your performance at the last debate was not only typical of a party-machine politician with all the trimmings, it was offensive to me and should be to every middle-class American.

As you pandered into the camera, you said that the debate is “about your family, and your family is hurting badly. If you’re a middle-class family, you’re getting hurt badly now. You’re sitting at the kitchen table this morning deciding, well, we can’t get new tires, they’re bald, because we have to wait another month or so, or are we going to be able to pay the mortgage, or who’s going to tell her she can’t go back to community college. Those are the decisions you’re making.”

Well, Mr. out-of-touch millionaire, neither me nor my family are victims.

Yes, we make decisions. My car with nearly 140,000 miles needed $3,000 in repairs last week. I’m not asking the government to pay for that. I am an American. I make my own bed and I sleep in it.

I don’t need the government’s nose in my relationships, nor do I need you butting in on whether I can pay my mortgage or buy tires or what I discuss around my kitchen table. Or what I have to wear. All my kids that wanted to go to college, by the grace of God, did it. And those who didn’t are successful anyway because they are hard workers, self-reliant, God-fearing, good kids.

Your government had nothing to do with it, except for putting those who did go to college in nearly a lifetime of debt with government loans that didn’t make school cheaper, but lined some leftists’ pockets at my kid’s expense. They are not victims. They are Americans.

Being an American is not an idea as you recently said. It is an ideal. It is the belief that through our hard work, rugged individualism, lovingkindness to our neighbors, and treating others how we want to be treated, we come together as a nation. We share in life’s struggles. We help each other when we need to. We raise our kids the best we can, teaching them God’s values, which also should be American values. We work hard for our money, and we don’t try to scam people with influence peddling and under-the-table bribes or winks.

We are the backbone of America. Yes, the middle-class family. The farmers, front-line workers, laborers, mid-level professionals, small business owners who make this nation great. We are not victims. We are Americans.

You seem to think that the government should be involved in every decision we make. You believe that government is the answer to every problem we as Americans face. The fact is, government is the problem.

Stay out of our lives except to keep things fair. Take care of national security. But you can’t even do that. You say be tough on China. Yet, you and your son have taken millions from the communist Chinese for access to our, what? — OH, our government. How can you with a straight face say you will be tough on China and protect our national security?

We have a problem here, Joe. You see, government is not my God. As my Lord and Savior said in Mark 12:17, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Take your government and leave my family to God. We are not victims. We are Americans.
