From the Abundance of the Heart

From the Abundance of the Heart by Bill Wilson

On Friday, August 11, liberals from across the country gathered at a Netroots Nation conference, which gave them a platform to criticize the President and his policies in front of the leftist media. Some of the rhetoric centered on the President's handling of the North Korean situation.

Congressman Keith Ellison, (D-MN), who is the first Muslim congressman elected to office and who is the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee said that communist dictator Kim Jong Un is acting more responsibly than is President Donald Trump. He says that Trump should be backing down rather than standing up for America.

Then, when pressed on it later, Ellison tried to say that he didn't mean what he said.

The Daily Beast reported, that Ellison said, "You have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. Kim Jong-un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader well he's acting more responsible than this guy is. 

 

"And what I'm telling you is once you start seeing missile launches, you're going to see-the time for cranking up the anti-war machine is right now. So if you don't want to get caught, deer-in-the-headlights, start calling for diplomacy in North Korea immediately."

Ellison later retracted his remarks to The Washington Post, saying, "That was one of those I wish I'd not said. It's tailor-made for somebody to misuse."

 

Ellison was referring to President Donald Trump's remarks that the US would rain down fire and fury on North Korea if it attacked Guam. Ellison and the Democrats are fearful that Trump will actually cause a nuclear attack with his rhetoric rather than show resolve that there will consequences of such a hideous act.

The governor of Guam, however, had a different view. Governor Eddie Calvo backed Trump's warning in a Fox News interview last Wednesday night. He said, "As far as I'm concerned, as an American citizen, I want a president that says that if any nation such as North Korea attacks Guam, attacks Honolulu, attacks the West Coast, that they will be met with hell and fury."

 

America had eight years of a president cowering in a corner and apologizing for everything the United States has done in its foreign policy.

Now, when a President stands up for America and says if North Korea acts on its threats, they will essentially be destroyed, all the weak-kneed, anti-American appeasement crowd starts fear-mongering.

Ellison saying that a North Korean communist dictator is acting more responsibly than the American President shows just where Ellison and his political Party stand.

As Jesus said in Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."

Ellison's heart spoke and what he said is an encouragement to America's enemies but an offense to patriotic Americans.
