Maybe, this will be the election cycle when the two party system finally completely fragments:

Here is the quote from the Mosiah Hancock journal (click link to read entire journal):
The next day the Prophet came to our home and stopped in our carpenter shop and stood by the turning lathe. I went and got my map for him. "Now", he said, "I will show you the travels of this people". He then showed our travels through Iowa, and said, "Here you will make a place for the winter; and here you will travel west until you come to the valley of the Great Salt Lake! You will build cities to the North and to the South, and to the East and to the West; and you will become a great and wealthy people in that land. But, the United States will not receive you with the laws which God desires you to live, and you will have to go to where the Nephites lost their power. They worked in the United Order for 166 years, and the Saints have got to become proficient in the laws of God before they can meet the Lord Jesus Christ, or even the city of Enoch". He said we will not travel the shape of the horse shoe for there we will await the action of the government. Placing his finger on the map, I should think about where Snowflake, Arizona is situated, or it could have been Mexico, he said, "The government will not receive you with the laws that God designed you to live, and those who are desirous to live the laws of God will have to go South. You will live to see men arise in power in the Church who will seek to put down your friends and the friends of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many will be hoisted because of their money and the worldly learning which they seem to be in possession of; and many who are the true followers of our Lord and Savior will be cast down because of their poverty. There will be two great political parties in this country. One will be called the Republican, and the other the Democrat party. These two parties will go to war and out of these two parties will spring another party which will be the Independent American Party. The United States will spend her strength and means warring in foreign lands until other nations will say, "Let's divide up the lands of the United States", then the people of the U. S. will unite and swear by the blood of their fore-fathers, that the land shall not be divided. Then the country will go to war, and they will fight until one half of the U. S. army will give up, and the rest will continue to struggle. They will keep on until they are very ragged and discouraged, and almost ready to give up--when the boys from the mountains will rush forth in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin. And they will say, 'Brethren, we are glad you have come; give us men, henceforth, who can talk with God'. Then you will have friends, but you will save the country when it's liberty hangs by a hair, as it were".
Hail to the man who communed with Jehovah! Millions will know brother Joseph again! Praise be to the Holy One of Israel whom Joseph loves and serves, and so do we! We long for the day Your glory fills the earth and the wicked are as ashes and stubble beneath Your Holy Feet.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think of Evan McMullin running for President?
ReplyDeleteYou know Trump is not really a Republican that is why the establishment opposes him so strongly. Evan McMullin is just the latest attempt by the republicans to stop Trump from stealing their party from them. Too late though. The republicans would rather see Hillary win than Trump because Trump threatens the established order. You could say, Trump's success is the rise of a new party and the death of the old republican party. Returns power to the people. Old money repubs like Rommney and Bush think they own us and should be able to tell us who to vote for. They want us all back in our cages.
