What is this God that Pence worships?

[link:https://www.rawstory.com/hang-mike-pence/|

In my opinion, the people behind the movement of 2016 and 2020 are Republicans, who are and have been anti-government (Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem. - Reagan) voters, wrapping themselves in the conservative flag to hide their racism. The modern Republican Party was born out of the movement of Southern racists from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party triggered by the passage of the Voting and Civil Rights Acts of the 60.s. They should be God fearing and hope, the God they fear does not exist.

About Edwcraig

I was raised to be a right wing Republican. Born in South Carolina. Great grandson of a trial lawyer famous for defending whites on trial for lynching blacks. Strom Thurmond studied in his law firm. Mother dated Thurmond. Nephew of a KKK member. Late father and mother both Republicans. Sister active in Republican politics to this day. The University of South Carolina's political science department and its fraternities, of which I have a degree and membership respectively, are and have been ultra conservative. Lee Atwater was a college and post college drinking buddy. Served in the US Army. For eight years, I was a lobbyist for big oil. I also was an investment banker and I am now and have been a entrepreneur businessman in the financial technology area for the last 25 years. I am a white man and over 60. A church elder. I am in the 2%. To the surprise and disappointment of many people I know and in spite of all the odds, I am a staunch Democrat. I was Executive Director of the South Carolina Democratic Party under Don Fowler.
