Abraham Lincoln in a debate with Stephen A. Douglas quoted Thomas Jefferson as saying that he: "trembled for his country when he remembered that God was just." Jefferson was referring to slavery, even though he himself was a slave owner.
Heavy duty words. Applicable today to cretinous republicans who blatantly sacrifice the welfare of the citizens of this country and destroy any chance at a better future. They are destroying hope.
I am not a God-fearing man, although as I continue to age inexorably towards death inevitable, I become more inquisitive about whose legs exactly are dangling over the edges of the clouds. But I dig the heaviness of the comment. You can substitute karma or destiny or the general concept of righteousness for God in that sentence, but the truth is that this country has a lot to answer for. And the current crop of idiot republicans are number 1 on the list.
