The Right Side Of History?

Editor, Times-Union:
I heard Hamas supporters that protested near the White House say that Biden should be on the right side of history, which they thought they were. There is a long history of people who thought they were on the right side of history.
Lenin started the Russian Revolution in 1917 because he wanted to overthrow the Russian Empire because it was corrupt and too oppressive. He claimed he wanted to lift up the little guy and bring down the rich and powerful. In the process he became rich and powerful and the little guy had to comply or die.
Forty years ago, people thought the Soviet Union would last forever. Thanks in part to Ronald Reagan, the Soviet Union dissolved and showed that democracy and not Communism was on the right side of history.
Hitler thought he was on the right side of history. Many of the Hamas supporters think he was right to hate the Jews, which means they hate God who made the Jews His chosen people and promised them the land of Israel to be their home. With Biden giving more money to Iran than to Israel and not wanting Israel to destroy Hamas if it means civilians they use as human shields are killed, the president has the problem of being hated by both sides.
The ones who want us to accept things that God doesn't approve of like considering men who identify as women as women, exposing children to pornography, changing the sex of children, and exterminating unborn lives think they are on the right side of history. When Israel rejected Godly morality like too many Americans do, the nation went into bondage. This nation may cease to exist if the God haters that falsely believe they are on the right side of history get their way.
Those who hate Trump think they're on the right side of history. They remind me of the ones who nearly 2000 years ago screamed out for the crucifixion of Christ. They thought they were on the right side of history because they considered Jesus a threat to the existence of Israel and that he was a dangerous criminal because he declared himself as being God. He was innocent of the crimes he was accused of just like Trump is since what he did was never considered a crime before he came along. Jesus raised the dead while Trump raises Hell.
I pray that Trump will be re-elected because his four years in office were much better than the ones we're enduring now. It's ironic that people want to raise money for Biden even though he promised to take away more of their money from them than Trump will. If another four years of Trump in office saves America for awhile, I'll be on the right side of history. Four more years of Biden could mean America is discarded on the junkyard of history.
